kevin H Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 By the way skip ASC and download directly from resources link. I just used ASC to authorize and skipped waiting for hours. In 10min I downloaded the whole collection. https://www.arturia.com/products/analog-classics/v-collection/resources Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSteven Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) They must like me better, cuz when I upgrade I'm gettin' 10,000 presets! from: https://www.arturia.com/products/analog-classics/v-collection/overview#en But really it's odd that Arturia's web site says 10,000 presets (in multiple places) while they've said >Analog Lab V now contains by default around 2000 presets 'by default' does that mean Analog Lab V without the v8 plugs? or are they counting every add-on library they sell as part of that 10k? God I hate ambiguous specs and advertising. Inquiring minds want to know! Edited December 9, 2020 by TheSteven 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZincT Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) I just checked and ALV actually has 4166 presets... Whereas AL4 has 8679... Also, Pigments is now up to 1080!! Edited December 9, 2020 by ZincT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZincT Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) 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 don't have all those packs but Dark ambient Past to the future are both showing in my ALV plus (I think?) all my other AL4 packs.... The store is showing as blank and non of my packs have 'icon's in ALV so I think there are still some server issues....licencing worked ok though, early this a.m. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 not in front of my PC at the moment but my AL5 said around 11,000 presets and I haven't bought any extra from the store - I just grabbed the free ones when they were available. (probably can put those pitchforks and flaming torches back in the cupboard for a bit?) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vernon Barnes Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I suspect a change in the preset format has happend ( to incorporate new features ?????) When they went from 3 to 4 (I think) they released a small program that converted to old presets for use in the new version. It seems a bit confusing at the moment what's happening. I would be more concerned if the older presets were no longer useable in the individual synths, which also happend when the format changed.

The last time Arturia offered an upgrade to a newly released version of V Collection for $99/€99 seems to have been in 2016. Since then the upgrade price at release time has always been $199/€199. 4-5 $99/€99 (2016): http://forum.cakewalk.com/Arturia-V-Collection-Special-Offers-m3515043.aspx 5-6 $199/€199 (2017): http://forum.cakewalk.com/ARTURIA-V-Collection-5-owners-Updates-available-go-get-Also-VC-6-is-out-m3703671.aspx 6-7 $199/€199 (2019): https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/topic/3322-arturia-v-collection-7-announced/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitzroy Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Any of you encounter any problems activating AL V? I installed it along AL IV, ASC now shows the 2 installed Labs but also a "not all products are activated" label. Reactivating the license doesn't do anything, Reinstalling it doesn't help either. AL V works in demo-mode only. So my AL 4 now 'contains 2 products', but only the AL 4 license is active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

ZincT Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share Posted December 9, 2020 Just now, fitzroy said: Yeah, tried that too. But thanks ? 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise the interface wouldn't be broken (reactivating should either fail or succeed). Does your AL 5 license show in your Arturia account (not ASC) under 'My Products'?

fitzroy Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Thanks! It's definitely a glitch. The latest version of ASC also doesn't work properly (I can only resize it down, so right-side content is truncated). And on top of that, it auto-updates (that's Arturia saying 'our releases are so good, you'll never have to revert'). Well... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly enough, I can look in My Arturia on their actual site to see what I paid: At some point prior to 2018, I bought the V Collection 5 off of KVR On 11/24/18 - I paid $99 to upgrade 5-6 - if 6 came out in 2017, then that was clearly a Black Friday deal. However On 11/20/2019 - I paid $99 to upgrade from 6 to 7. Edited December 9, 2020 by husker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Sorrels Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) The V6 to V7 upgrade was intro priced at $199 (marked down from $299) but they later did drop it to $99. You might have seen a better intro deal if you bought some of the synths they added before the next collection? Like now it's $199 for people that didn't buy the OBXa and $149 for them.
