Thanks.  Honestly the things that tempt me the most are the improved CS-80, Prophet, and Minimoog.  But maybe I would use the Augmented stuff too. . . 

But since I already have V Collection 8 I was thinking of getting either Pigments or some other synth like Spire.

I have a $150 budget and soooo many things I want to buy

It's about time Arturia put together a "deal you can't refuse" sale.

I went from Synth Collection 8 to 10 for $99, and got FX Collection 5 for $49 (bought "3 delays you'll never actually use" many years ago).

Quite the savings over the unknown many hundreds of dollars they'd normally charge!

Let me know if you feel the upgrade from 8 to 10 is worth it?  I'm in the same boat.  

That's a tasty price

Does it stop working after one year if you don't renew?

 

That's my understanding, someone correct me if I'm wrong

It would be nice to get a permanent license out of the subscription.  Or to have an option to buy Sonar.

Give it a few weeks though before you judge because at first the workflow can be infuriating until you adjust

I get the feeling they are going to go out of business

I did after all, together with Falcon. 
Couldn’t gel with Dune’s GUI, or Avenger’s EDM. 

Interesting, I thought Spire is geared towards EDM also?

The preset packs for Spire kind of confuse me that are available thru the Reveal Sound website.  A lot of them seem to have a bunch of stuff bundled like construction loops, etc which are not usable in Spire?  Is that pretty typical?

Any reason to pick this up over Dune 3 or Avenger 2?

I have to assume they will get rid of the normal professional license which costs way more since it makes no sense to buy it instead of Studio One+ Hybrid...

Obligatory bitching about the upgrade price even though it has been this way for the past decade and should shock no one

I'm a sucker, I ended up paying the $100 extra to upgrade to V9.  So V9 + Pigments for $200.  Still a good deal but not quite as insanely good as V8 + Pigments for the original $100.  Oh well, the new synths and upgraded synths sound amazing so it's worth it!

I'm pretty syked, I used this to get the $49 Pigments.  V-Collection 8 + Pigments for $100. . . that's a GOOD DEAL

Pleased to report that I just received my serial # and unlock code and it worked on Arturia's website!

Definitely not.   I've been there before and it appears different.  Hijacked?

Even the math is wrong on that product.

Maybe we're seeing different sites?  When I go there it seems normal and has a valid SSL certificate and secure connection.  The math is fine as well.  I'm in the US.

After placing the order I got an order confirmation email that is pretty normal as well.  Just waiting on the serial number.

Gotta get your dopamine from somewhere...

i placed my order. shows up as waiting to process on pp and cc site. i can't log into the Prostar  site anymore.. when i finally got in.. it shows no orders placed. no emals yet from them. i ain't gonna deal with them. too weird. too many red flags.

Fair enough!  I'm waiting for my S/N still.  I'm guessing it's a small operation and there's probably one or two people divvying out the serial #'s as they process the orders.  If I don't see anything today I'll contact them.  I paid with Paypal so worst case I file a claim.

Out of curiosity what about it looks weird and not right?

I think they have been around for quite a long time. . . did something happen?  I placed an order this morning and used Paypal to pay.

Why was that thread posted this morning completely removed?

When do you get crackles and pops?  And you have the correct ASIO driver selected in Cakewalk? Could it be clipping or something being set too loud?

I actually have a number of unregistered serials (doubles) left going for pretty little:

VIP3 serial, Hybrid3 serial, Xpand!2 serial, Vacuum Pro serial, Strike serial, Structure serial , Velvet2 serial 
AIEP3 Select bundle serial 
(DB-33, Mini Grand, Hybrid 3 , Loom, Strike 2, Structure 2, Transfuser 2, Velvet 2, Vacuum Pro & Fresh AIR Pack, theRiser & Flux Transitions)

Basically the whole package lol

I own this but didn't bother reinstalling after I formatted my computer.  I do have fond memories of Hybrid 3 and Vacuum Pro, but with it needing iLok and having individual installers it's kinda not worth the hassle.  Is anyone still using these to make music?

Wow this is unusual

Nooooooo my wallet really does not appreciate this!!!
