Three new free soundbanks from Arturia for Minifreak (deal) and: V Collection X available now (not a deal)

[audioschmaudio]

Arturia offers three new free soundbanks for Minifreak: Euphoric Grooves, Deserted Lands, and Synthetic Trap

And: At Sweetwater you can already buy the V Collection X: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/VColl10--arturia-v-collection-by-software-instrument-bundle
Kinda strange because you can't even buy it at the Arturia shop yet. Available at Arturia too now.
However, we can now already see what's new:
Now included: CP-70 V, the MiniFreak V, and the Acid V, Augmented Brass, Augmented Grand Piano, and Augmented Woodwinds.
Rebuilt: Mini V and Wurli V
Three new exclusive expansion packs included

So I guess the CP-70 V and Augmented Woodwinds are completely new.

Hm. No upgrade offers in my Arturia account ☹️

[MrFigg]

And there we all were buying V9 just a week or two ago. Oooooooh the humanity!!! Hahahahaha fcku!!

[Solidos]

I mean they release the versions in regular intervals, people stated in pretty much every Arturia thread that the new version will come soon.

At least with some of the other sales not too long ago, it took a day or two for the upgrade deals to pop up.

Says this..

."To celebrate the launch, V Collection X will be available at a special intro price for registered users until january 7th, 2024. Login to unlock your exclusive price."

but nothing shown up in my account either. I'm not bothered either way.

Shows up now. The price isn't attractive to me though. $199 to upgrade from V9 to VX. Considering that I paid $149 to get V9, that doesn't look like a good deal. I'll wait until next Black Friday or whatever deals they might have until then. Also I can upgrade to Mini V4 or Wurli V3 for $49. But nope, not me, I won't do that.

Always the same upgrade intro price for years and always better to wait for a better sale later.

[記念パピコkinen_papico]

Like everyone else, I'll wait until it's $99.

I bought the Moog Mariana for $49 and am happy with it. It's fun to connect with MoogarFooger.

[Sander Verstraten]

Waiting for the $99 sale too. How much i like the Arturia synths, I'm in no hurry to upgrade for the current price.

[MrFigg]

I'm happy with the V9 I bought for €99 a month ago :).

[Kirean]

Since I couldn't wait to play around with Acid V and got it separately when it came out , upgrade is 149 for me.

But I agree. I'll have to wait for the X upgrade to go lower.

My V8 for 50 bucks is already too much for the next year. 

[Magic Russ]

I got v9 just a year ago.  While the new Augmented instruments seem to have potential, it will be quite some time before I feel like I have exhausted the possibilities on V9.

I actually don't like the Augmented Instruments at all. My 303 is covered by ABL3 so new build Wurli I guess but I reckon there's not so much wrong with the old build.

Still hoping that when I start buying Arturia's stuff,  that by then dark modes for plugins like the Augmented Series will be available.
