So sad to read about your sister, PC. Used to go to Chicago for a conference, didn’t like the Mile, but loved the smaller streets and alleys. Amazing architecture, Mies van der Rohe, Frank Lloyd Wright. Sometime wandered southbound but never realized it could get that bad. Still, a wonderful city for music and food. Even that un-pizza from Uno’s. Didn’t try Lou Malnati, though.
Back on the fence.
The upgrade to V Collection 8 includes new ‘free‑running’ oscillator technology only for Jup-8 (v4) and the new Juno, so I’ll wait until v9 updates the other synths. More info here: https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/arturia-v-collection-8.
For me, definitely. Love tampering note per note, as if building my own piano. But then I’m a Pianoteq Bapu. Got the entire Studio bundle. And Organteq.
