EscapeRocks Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Hey all, If you've been waiting, Arturia is having their semi-annual sale. V-Collection 7 is now just $99 for current V Collection owners. need to log into your Arturia account to see the discount I just did it as I wanted the Mellotron, which separately last week was over $150. Just thought I'd pass this along for those who like and want to use this. No need for the 8 pages of "xxx is better..." :) Quote David Gig Rig:Depends on the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnderGroundGr Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I want to ask if you are satisfied with the sound quality of these plugins. I have not someone near to listen and play them and it's not easy to download all of them to test, so your opinion is important to me... Thanks!

UnderGroundGr Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Is v7 that much of an upgrade from v6? it has 3 more plug ins(mellotro,. casio cz and ems vs3) and if you have 6 version it's only $99!

BadDog1123 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Piano V2 and B-3 V2 are weak compared to the competition IMO. Stage-73 V is decent, but I can never get enough volume out the the instruments. The virtual synths are pretty darn good, but the presets are weak so it requires some serious tweaking and in some cases from-scratch programming to get authentic, usable sounds. Still a bargain for $199. I paid full price 6 months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam CA Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Piano V2 and B-3 V2 are weak compared to the competition IMO..... I paid full price 6 months ago. I only have Piano V2 and Analog Lab from Arturia at the moment. Piano V2 does sound digital but still good and playable for what it is. Besides Pianoteq (Modartt) whoelse makes modeled piano?

analogman1 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I upgraded... a great deal. The only problem is when I try to install the extra soundbank for Matrix V2, it won't let me...maybe it's for an older version? I put in an email to Arturia...lets see what they say...

synthdogg Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I pulled the trigger this morning, and now I'm losing a whole day getting lost in sounds!!! I'm not crazy about their Pianos/Organs....but the synths are a blast, some better than others. I'm especially loving the digital stuff, the Fairlight and the DX7 especially. I prefer U-he's stuff to the Prophet 5 and Jupiter, but it's all still a lot of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

analogman1 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I really like the Oberheim stuff. I'd love to own an OB-6!!! But the entire $99 upgrade to the suite was CHEAPER than just upgrading the SEM plugin...which I have on the iPad and Macbook Pro. It's a nice compliment to the U_He stuff which I also have... I'm not crazy about their programming... it's like the DSI stuff, you can't judge it by the presets... Quote Tom Nord Electro 5D, Modal Cobalt 8, Yamaha upright piano, numerous plug-ins...

J Graul Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Well, I just took the plunge on the upgrade. Waiting on my wife to give me hell now... Now I need to look at a good controller. Any suggestions? With the prior versions I've just been using my Kurzweil PC361, but it's been a little unstable the past couple of years.

BadDog1123 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I've been using Studiologic controllers with V Collection 7 and Gig Performer. They work great and you can't beat the price/performance. Fatar keybeds, velocity and pressure sensitivity (aftertouch), with plenty of MIDI and footpedal options. The only downside is that they do not have an abundance of knobs and switches to map to V Collection instrument controls. I use the SL-73, SL-88 and Numa Compact 2X controllers, all under $700 apiece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Schmieder Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 The Prophet V and Jupiter V will likely receive upgrades at some point; maybe the CS-80 V as well (I haven't kept track of which ones were last upgraded when). Arturia never stands still. I don't remember whether upgrades are usually timed for the Collection releases or not though. Often (perhaps always) they are free to current owners. Very few soft synth companies do that. I use them even as-is, as they have some unique features that I occasionally need; just as with the Mini V, in spite of owning a hardware Minimoog Voyager. But I do try to bias towards the Roland Cloud emulation of the Jupiter now. I don't actually like u-he's Prophet 5; just their Pro-One. I can't put my finger on why they don't move me the same way. I prefer Arturia's Prophet.

Since Arturia is fully NKI, my Kontrol has everything mapped to the knobs and buttons out of the box. It makes programming a breeze, having the knobs. I never touch the mouse or track pad to dial up things. Quote David Gig Rig:Depends on the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mauriziodececco Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Just to confirm that the 99 Euros (in my case) price work for version 5 owners. I mean, it worked for me.

jeffincltnc Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I find the synths are a lot of fun. They don't necessarily give you sonically perfect emulations of the instruments they are modeled after but I have a lot of fun with V6. If nothing else, I would have never had much exposure to the sounds of a Buchla Easel or a how a Synclavier works. I'd skip over their electro mechanical instruments. I am much happier with Soniccouture and Scarbee products for Rhodes, Wurly and Clav duties, and, of course, this is not getting into Keyscape territory. Ditto with grand pianos. That being said, I was pleasantly suprised with the B-3 V2 as a very good upgrade. I played around with it for a while and thought it was pretty nice. I don't need the V7 upgrade but might just go for it to play around with Mellotrons for a while during the coronavirus timeframe.

jeffincltnc Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I'm deliberating in my head if it's worth $99 to upgrade from V6 to V7. I don't need a Mellotron but I could entertain myself for hours with a Mellotron.... Should I resist the Mellotron?

Doerfler Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Should I resist the Mellotron? No, you should not. Countless hours of entertainment. if you want to take another route, for the same $99 you can buy G Force M Tron Pro. Plus you can demo it first to see if you want to spend the $$. https://www.gforcesoftware.com/products/m-tron-pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
