aidan o driscoll Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 (edited) I have V Collection 8 and also have SQ80v. The augmented stuff doesnt interest me, I also found them system hogs, so for $99 upgrade I would get KORG MS-20 V + a few of the existing instruments upgraded. Its a hold off for me anyway I also have FX Collection 2 and can upgrade to 4 for $69 .. seems it has 4 new additions https://support.arturia.com/hc/en-us/articles/9023960780700-What-s-new-in-FX-Collection-4- Again I dont think so However for €87 I can upgrade my ableton 11 to the new v12 .. so most likely thats the choice I will make Edited November 14, 2023 by aidan o driscoll 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFigg Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 It might just be me but are quite a lot of the instruments in the V Collection pretty CPU intensive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's good to know that if I skip this year, the upgrade price could possibly be 69 again next year from FX3 to FX5... And yeah, best to probably wait for V Collection 10 if you're not in a hurry. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today, I see the $69 price. It shows up as $249 before I login/click Buy. Once I login and click Buy, I see the $69 price for FX Collection 4. Not sure I will get it, but maybe the sequence of steps is helpful for others. What did you already have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but at least they sound incredibl…y mediocre for it. Sold V9 and never looked back. Only slightly miss the MS-20. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canopus Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 2 hours ago, Kirean said: I think it might be 49 bucks if I didn't own it already. But then it might be more if I didn't own Pigments too. From I've seen, I think people get the best deal when they go from Pigments to V Collection to FX (ie. crossgrade will be cheaper than upgrade.) Don't quote me on any of it though. I own both V Collection 9 and Pigments. My crossgrade price for FX Collection 4 is €69. That’s 30 effects I might actually never use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Promidi Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Yay, I can get V Collection 9 and FX Collection 4 at a huge discount...... Thing is. I already have them! Actually, I think the reason this happens is when one has multiple Arturia products that trigger the upgrade offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a 2nd license which I guess would come in handy of you have 10 machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitekrazy1 Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 They didn't add their bassline app to this either. No augmented piano. Maybe they need to do an everything bundle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicMan Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Skipping it this round again and might consider V Collection 10 when it comes out. My upgrade offer is $149 for V Collection, so nothing special so I might as well leave it until the new release.. or never.. lots in there, but I have plenty of alternatives to keep me happy. Their upgrade offers are a lucky dip really.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Russ Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 My offer is $69 for V4, which adds 3 new effects (MS-20 filter was last year's giveaway). I don't recall the last time I used a Leslie. I have plenty of reverbs. That leaves the ColdFire distortion, which is not an effect I'm sure I would actually use.

mibby Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 (edited) I've been watching the upgrade to the FX Collection 4 for a few months now. I own Analog Lab Pro and the full Augmented Strings along with a handful of the freebie FX from over the years: Tape MELLO-FI, Rev PLATE-140, Filter MS-20, and Chorus JUN-6. I was sitting on a $129 upgrade to the FX Collection when they introduced Efx MOTIONS. But someone here said they upgraded during BF last year for $49! So I waited, and the offer went away. Today, with the 2023 BF sale, my "Crossgrade to FX Collection 4" is .... ... (drum roll) ... $129 I'm relieved, but not excited. There are a bunch of these plugins that are duplicate/triplicate.etc. to what I already have. But, there are also a few that seem very creative and useful. Plus, you guys seem to really like them for the most part which means there might be some I might actually use... The other offers are: Crossgrade to Pigments $69 Upgrade from Analog Lab Pro to the V Collection 9 $149 Plus, it doesn't seem like UAD will be having anymore $14 plugins. ?

MrFigg Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 I think the V Collection comes down to €149 if you have the FX Collection. I also had the Vox Continental already and I think that's why I got V Collection for €99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
