Sander Verstraten 826 Posted September 23, 2022 Arturia has it's V Collection Compendium on Sale. They call it Compendium as it comes with a slew of genre specific Preset Packs https://www.arturia.com/vcol-compendium I don't see an additional discount for new users, but my update from V8 to V9 is $149 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pseudopop 1,073 Posted September 23, 2022 I have only Analog Lab V and Augmented Strings. My price for a compendium is €269, which I think with the current exchange rate is something like $99. I think this is actually a pretty good deal, if you're interested in soundbanks. The soundbanks are priced between $5 to $15 a piece, so the 10 soundbanks included can cost over $100 if bought separately, or half of that during a sale.

Edit: Just annoyed how the exchange rate has flipped so that I'm nowadays paying more in Euros than in Dollars, after you include all the transaction fees and whatnot.

aidan o driscoll 947 Posted September 23, 2022 Based on the times we are now living in cost of living wise, keep in mind at checkout Arturia have an option to pay over 2, 3, 4 months rather than one large amount. Not much if any interest paid BUT could be a way of buying w/o having to pay all at once Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The "Electronic" soundbank compendium looks interesting. 10 banks, which appear to mostly be for Pigments. The total full retail for those soundbanks alone would be around $130. Not that anyone actually pays full retail around here! But that sure is a sweetener for the V Collection 9 upgrade! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canopus 591 Posted September 23, 2022 It’s €149 including VAT for me as well and I’ve only got V Collection 5 (and Pigments, if that matters). Hm, at that price maybe I should go ahead and hit the Checkout button? It would normally not go on sale for as low as €99 on BF, but of course, if I buy it now, it will. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I looked at some of those. I realized I have pretty much all the of the cinematic compendium. I have been picked them up at 50% off during promos over the years. whatever is here and 50% off. i still don't own the latest V collection. https://www.arturia.com/sounds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Though to be honest, i picked up Syntonic 2 and have been using that exclusively. It has more punch and the common interface to manage the samples is a time saver.

I appreciate you putting up this link because on the My Account page they only gave me the option for the Cinematic Compendium. It's nice to see that I had four other options.
