Olong Johnson Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Not enough here upgrade-wise to rock my world. Maybe Black Friday 2023... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Penguin Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Had me at MS-20! Got the VC8 w/SQ80V deal, so hoping that the upgrade path is "reasonable". Now the best time to upgrade, upon intro? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the best time to upgrade, upon intro? No, usually upgrade price at intro is 199$, and everyone is complaining every new version, then later it's 99$ at some point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Penguin Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Yeah, reading the thread over at kvr, seems to suggest that waiting is best course of action . . . people seem to think at $99 it would be an insta-upgrade, but no-go at $199. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted May 7, 2022 Author Share Posted May 7, 2022 I think the upgrade from V8 will be 199 and 149 with SQ80V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reid Rosefelt Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 I like the LE version of Augmented Strings, and the full one will be a lot better. Many more controls. So I'm curious to see what Augmented Vocals will be. But I assume it will be an extended series, with Augmented Brass and Augmented Woodwinds, and who knows what else Augmented. If I get really excited about Augmented Vocals, I might jump on this during BF for $99. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
husker Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Larry can tell us for sure, but I think the $99 Arturia upgrades were over. I don't believe the 7 to 8 upgrade was ever offered at $99 - I know I paid $149 after paying $99 for several V Collection upgrades. And I own all the Arturia software.

Probably the $99 upgrade will happen, but only 1 year or more after VC9 release. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Bradley Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Meh, wouldn't upgrade (from VC8 + SQ80) for any price. Already have an MS20 from Korg, and by all accounts the Augmented Strings thing was quite the CPU-hog. I assume Augmented Voices will be similar. In any event, neither Augmented product is a recreation of a classic hardware synth, so seems like mission creep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abacab Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 I'm definitely in for $99. Other than that, I can wait for a deal... 🤪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I own all the Arturia software. I went from V Collection 5 to V Collection 8 for $99 last year. My memory is that I had $99 offers to upgrade to 6 and 7, which I passed on. But that was then and who knows what the future will hold. I'll probably wait this time around too. First, there is so much I have left to explore in the V Collection 8 and Pigments. Plus I can try out fully functional demos of all the new stuff. Arturia is so good about offering that. I'm sure I will demo the Augmented Voices. I have MS-20 from Korg but I'm curious what Arturia's take will be on it. It will no doubt be prettier. 😄 Edited May 8, 2022 by Reid Rosefelt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleer Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 I went from v4 to v8 but I’m particularly interested in that Augmented series. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about authenticity as I have nothing to compair it to but it sounds good. I quite like the way the HP and LP filters sound working together.
