Reid Rosefelt Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 I have resisted upgrading my V Collection since 2016, but they've got me this year for $99. That was on my list if they had this price. But their FX Collection was not on my list because I already have more reverbs, compressors, etc. than I can use. But I do admit there are some very unusual plugins ithere that could be fun to play with. And they all look beautiful. Even if they aren't any better than the ones I own, they look stunning. Good artist. My memory is that it was $99 for me to get the original set and now it is $69 to get version 2 which has more stuff. Hmmmm.... This is definitely GAS at work. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their replicants also seem to be good and offer useful ITB enhancements over the original designs, similar to the Overloud Gems series. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a minority opinion, but I like Arturia more when they invent, as with Pigments, my favorite synth they do, then when they try to do a CS-80 or whatever. And some of those plugins, like Delay ETERNITY and Rev INTENSITY, intrigue me. With those and stuff like the Dimension D and JUNO-6 Chorus might seal the deal for me. for the 70 bucks.

If you don't have any V Collection yet, that's a definite yes! If you have an older version, you will need to ask yourself if upgrading is worth it for the new instruments.

I have FX Collection 1 secondhand, and Intensity was worth the price alone. They really are beautiful, but work well, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know. its nuts. I will try to resist as I am really trying to up my game and move over to UAD or softube. I already have the Arturia modulations bundle.

abacab Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 (edited) Seeing all of these awesome icons on my desktop gives me a warm happy feeling. Until I ask myself, "which one today?" 🤣 My solution: Just open Analog Lab V and look for an inspiring sound. Then launch the full synth UI when you have something you want to tweak...

Brian Lawler Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 (edited) Blimey. I added about 100+ amps and FX during the IK GB, but the $69 FX2 crossgrade offer is going to reel in 22 more. I didn't expect that offer since I don't own any Arturia FX currently (I did just get V8 in September though).

Dimension D These are two, haven't had much chance to dig into their delay yet (Valhalla is just dead simple). Finding the routing flexibility of Bus Force in a single UI to be a productivity boon for roughing out the vibe for a side. Some good ideas with this team.

Dave Maffris Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 I can get it for $99, but I'm on the fence. Over the years I only use it sporadically--not saying it's not good, it is and I do use it on occasion, but it is never really my "go-to" for anything, for some reason. So...maybe...just to stay current and get all the newest ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleer Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 The upgrade sale price has always been $99 and it’ll be $99 again. Until it’s less. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
