sounds nice though its a bit expensive for me.
i’d probably just noodle with presets and then go back to using tal uno/cherry audio 106.
I was hoping for a Ensoniq ESQ-1 V
But not this time.
The Juno 60 seems nice though

Looks like the Arturia website is getting hammered just now. If it’s the usual situation with Arturia’s upgrades then I might be tempted to upgrade. I do the same for Arturia that I do for NI Komplete, if you upgrade every second iteration it usually transpires to be decent value.

Thank goodness, finally an update that doesn’t have something that I NEED to have!

Come next Black Friday, this collection will hopefully be 50% off. Maybe even sooner. That’s what I’m hoping for. If the OB-Xa had been included in the collection two weeks ago, I would’ve bought it already.
Then again, a collection like this is just too massive. I’m already overwhelmed by something like a Peak or any other deep poly. That’s why I’ve mostly used mono synths recently.

Exactly! $200 to upgrade from 7 to 8 feels pretty steep considering, so I’ll pass.
Same here. I update every 2 years. That’s optimal for getting best value for money.

Do people who just bought V7 in the sale not the update for free? A bit scummy if not in my opinion.

The V7 didn’t include OB-Xa in the first place. It was 199€ separately. So the upgrade aligns with that pretty much, plus people get the other three new instruments with the upgrade price.

Just seems a bit too soon for me not that I care all that much. Have managed to control my V Collection GAS pretty well over the years. Came close to buying last year but resisted!

No offence folks, but putting a product on sale and then releasing a new version with a whole bunch of additional features after that is pretty standard everywhere. NI do it just the same. The basic formula I stick to is to upgrade every 2nd or maybe even every 3rd iteration. And if I’m in no especial hurry then I might even wait for a year after a new version comes out to get it in the following summer/black friday sale.

I do get (and accept) this sort of practice but didn’t the sale end like only 5 days ago or so? I don’t think even NI have been that aggressive with post sale activity/launches.

Yeah, they have been quick out of the traps this time that’s for sure. I was most surprised that they included the Oberheim in there for 4 new synths, normally they add 3 each cycle. I did think it weird that they released the Oberheim on it’s own out of cycle. I wonder if folk who bought that get a special deal?

It always looks like a lot for your money with the V collections… but I don’t think a single one of their soft synths has made it onto a finished recording of mine in around 10 years. Nice looking UI but there have always been many better sounding VSTs out there.

Yea that’s the thing, I like tweaking but hardware synths, dune3, and diva end up winning when it comes to recording. I do want to hear the new Jupiter v4.
