The old resize required a visit to the plugin menu. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aidan o driscoll Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 (edited) My upgrade from 8 is $99. Is it worth the upgr from 8 to 9.2? Im not sure it is. I already have SQ80 V and the augmented strings and voices I found to be resource hogs. I think Ill pass Edited March 11, 2023 by aidan o driscoll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, the Sequentials and CS-80 got some great upgrades. And I do like those augmented libs myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User 905133 Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Does anyone know if Aruria's CZ clone can load original CZ sysex preset files? I know Plugin Boutique's Virtual CZ can, but I couldn't find that feature in the CZ V (Arturia) manual. Once again, with my prior Arturia purchases, I qualify for 9.2 at the $149 level, but I have a number of other Vintage Synth Emulations from other software makers so I am still very much on the fence. I find that Pigments meets my sound design needs nicely and if I need the V Collection pre-made sounds, I have a few thousand available to me via Analog Lab V. Not sure that I would really need to design my own sounds for Arturia's instruments or even tweak them more than I can do already with Analog Lab V. On the other hand, 9.2 would add 17 expansions for over 1200 more factory sounds that I would be able to tweak. Not sure if that's enough to get me off the fence. If the package included the Micro Freak V, that might do it though, as would the ability to load in all my custom CZ sounds. Even better if the Emulator II could load samples, but it seems all it can do is use built-in samples. So, (1) can the CZ V load in CZ sysex files (presets from the Casio CZ line) and (2) am I missing anything about the Collection? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the CZ-V user guide ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.1.1.2. Import Import is the command when you want to add a patch to your CZ library from outside your studio, or from an archive. You can import a single preset, an entire bank of presets, or a playlist. This command will bring up a popup directory window for your computer; simply navigate to a valid file (it MUST be in either the .czvx format, or as a MIDI System Exclusive .syx file) and click Open. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User 905133 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 (edited) Thanks, @Promidi . In fact, double thanks. I searched the CZ V pdf for "sysex," not "syx" or "Import." So I searched the Emulator II V pdf for "Import" after I downloaded the demo and found this: Quote Import: This command lets you import a preset file, which can be either a single preset or an entire bank of presets. Samples can indeed be imported and placed on the keyboard. 🙂 Edited March 14, 2023 by User 905133 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since (1) has been answered, I will expand a little bit on these features in the V Collection. The synths that had full MIDI SysEx implemented in the hardware, can import .syx files. So in addition to the CZ V, synths such as DX7 V and SQ80 V can do so as well. Synths that used samples in the hardware can import user samples. So in addition to the Emulator II V, that feature is also available in the Mellotron V, The Synclavier V2, and the CMI V. And apparently the new Prophet-VS V can do both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User 905133 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 (edited) Good to know, thanks for the additional details. I finally found my CZ data tapes with my custom sounds from the CZ5000 (as well as songs/sequences). I dumped some of them to sysex (aka *.syx) but not all. (Either that or I lost a whole bunch over ther decades.) A handful or two are unique--ones that I have never heard elsewhere. After demoing CZ V, I decided that "based on the CZ" is more accurate than calling it an emulation. From what I saw only 2 to 5 percent of th CZ V's potential is to recreate CV patches. Again, thanks for these insights into the Arturia Collection. Edited March 14, 2023 by User 905133 fixed typos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
