No it just means subscribe to their newsletter and they will send you the link to buy it for $39. You also get links for their other free packs from the Xperiments instruments (which aren't bad for free).

Certainly a lot cheaper than used ? --> https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Solton-Programmer-24-sequencer-drum-machine-arranger-bass-synthesizer-manual/373347623910?hash=item56ed40a3e6:g:a3QAAOSwASRfiGch

Very tempting!! ? Thanks Aidan.

Me too! ?

Yes it is listed along with AL4 which was bundled with my Arturia keyboard.

Ah Ok. There was a popup from ALV about registering that happened when I first offline installed it . Assume you have tried clicking on that, although it didn't work for me but that was when the Arturia site was under heavy load.

I had to hit the synchronize button (bottom left) in Arturia Software Center for the licenses to be updated even though it it supposed to synchronize on startup.

Sounds like a plan Larry I watched some of the videos mentioned on the ASK thread and they were pretty good (Melodyne, Studio One, Jordan Rudess).

Last day at this price.

Also, I just checked the store and noticed that I own 26 expansion packs in AL4 but only 20 in ALV. The ones I own that are missing in ALV are: Kraft Tribute Tangerine Tribute Ambient Soundscapes Iconic Vibration Dark Ambient Past to the Future Maybe some didn't make the "quality" grade?

I just checked and ALV actually has 4166 presets... Whereas AL4 has 8679... Also, Pigments is now up to 1080!!

I can understand both arguments and it depends on what suits your needs. The full collection suits Simon and many others. For me though AL (v4 anyway) made more sense as I can easily search all of the instruments presets to find what I'm looking for. I don't very often need the UI of the instrument to tweak a sound as AL4 gives access to commonly modified ones. I got hold of VC6 when I spotted someone selling it cheaply on KVR and thought at that price it would be worth a punt as I could always resell it for what I paid (which is what I did). Realistically I found that I hardly ever used the individual instruments. It just became an annoyance every time there was an update which required 21 updates to be downloaded and installed. Now with the advent of ALV it seems that you no longer have access to all the presets from VC8 unless you own VC8 but for me the difference is not worth the cost of ownership. Obviously YMMV but that's how it is for me. Like abacab, I also bought Pigments (on an intro deal) and for many reasons it's a keeper for me.

Apparently Pigments is also updated but I haven't done the update yet!

That would make a lot more sense TS.

I wondered why they no longer advertised the number on startup like they did in AL4. At least you can still run AL4.

Thanks Simon, I will check them out! I like the new clean look of ALV.

No, it's still running in demo mode as it cannot get through. I can see the license in my account just can't sync. I will try again later.

The Emulator and Vocoder are a lot of fun!

For anyone wanting to get Analog Lab V, here's a direct download link. It's 1.5Gb (AL4 was 1.1Gb in comparison) and took longer than usual due to the traffic load on their website but still better than trying to navigate slowly to the d/l page. https://downloads.arturia.net/products/analoglab-v/soft/Analog_Lab_V__5_0_0_1195.exe

Just wondering whether there's a grace period TS? Might be worth an email to them, can't hurt?

Lol, yes sirrreee! Very nice Christmas present from Arturia ? ??

Same for me.. Arturia's site is s......l......o......w.... but it looks like a free update to Analog Lab V in my account. It also looks very nice..first post updated
