I still think pigments is the best software Arturia have done by miles. Everything else has crappy hardware emulating interfaces that donāt make sense on a computer, or itās the augmented series that sound nice but have somehow managed to be awful to use. And why are the same stock Arturia FX presented differently in every product they make?!
Bearing all that in mind, Iād be pleased if they made some new āoriginalā synths or sample-based instruments as long as they made some effort with the interface.
The recent EFX effect plugins had slightly better interfaces but even they are each different to the last one. Arruria seems to have no interest in any consistency of UI design. Itās bloody irritating because there are some good products buried under those dodgy interfaces.

Wow, is this the first time anything like this has leaked from Arturia?
Thereās no way that 8000 is a fan mockup ā even at a glance, thereās way too much design thought that clearly went into adapting the original hardware layout to the Arturia way of working. The aesthetic details, from the 3D parallax to the shading, are all on point. Itās legit.
Looks like SEM V is getting an overhaul. And is Pure LoFi the beginning of a new Pure series of romplers?
Tell me about it. I just have my head down with CMI V and Emulator II V and J37. Something new comes out I throw confetti and stick to these 3 plugs.
Their plugs are so deep that it really takes time for any mastery to happen. I upgrade when I need to.

Now Iām curious. What pushes your button and makes you want to upgrade for each iteration ?

For me, less trodden ground like vintage digital in the sq-80 or emulator, and any major upgrade to the less-strong analog emulations that enough users vouch for

From individual releases since VC X came out:
- MiniBrute V
- Synthx V
- Augmented YANGTZE
From the thumbnails in the leak:
- Pure LoFi (first in new Pure series?)
- Augmented MALLETS (expanded version of Augmented MALLETS Play)
- SEM V4 (looks different from current SEM V, so must be new)
- Jup-8000 V (obviously)
That makes 7.

Not exactly a surprise after their recent sale of V Collection X.
Interested in the JP8000 and the SEM improvements, but itāll depend on the price as I just upgraded. Not salty at all though as my last version was 5, so I got a very good deal and still have plenty of stuff to explore 
Yeahā¦Iām generally OK with clones but it seems a little off to clone products of a smaller competitor that is innovating at the lower-price end of the market. I have not used any Sonicware products yet but I like them as they seem to be trying to put a lot of power in the hands of new electronic musicians and those on a budget.

Time to sell my JP-8080???
I would guess that rather than the short line being drawn between the shape of the keyboard keys (also looking like a TE keybed) and sonicware, the fact that itās showing floppy disks on the graphic and the top one being labeled āgolden ageā makes it likely that this is some amalgam of old school sampling keyboards or something along those lines.
Iām not sure I see the Lofi 12 there but the word lofi does make it easy to want to find a parallel of sorts.
