ZincT Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 (edited) I just received an email from Arturia offering V-Collection X upgrade for $99 (same as previous low). So check your emails or accounts to see if you have a similar offer. It says this is valid from 21st March to 3rd April. I'm on version 8 at present. https://www.arturia.com/products/software-instruments/v-collection/overview Edited March 21 by ZincT correction 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioschmaudio Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 (edited) You mean $199, right? Edit: or is that the upgrade price for V Collection 9 to X? Edited March 21 by audioschmaudio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSteven Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 (edited) $99 to upgrade from v9 to vX (at least for me). That's for 4 new instruments - MiniFreak V, Acid V and CP-70 V and Augmented Grand Piano (which I already have) and 2 rebuilt instruments (their terminology) Mini V 4, and Wurli V 3. + 3 expansion packs. Still - will need to think this over. At the moment I am overloaded with virtual instruments and probably should be thinking about shedding what I don't & won't be using instead of collecting more.

That would be a price for a second license which is fine if you have 10 machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZincT Posted March 21 Author Share Posted March 21 (edited) Oops, yes it was the UPGRADE price - 1st post corrected. For me that's from V Collection 8 to X. Same offer they did before. Tempted again... I also just noticed it says "Last Chance Offer" - does that mean V11 (or maybe XI) is imminent?

Fleer Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Yep, it’s imminent. April probably. My offer is $99 from VC8, sale as BF. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleer Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 V Collection 5 was 19 May 2016 V Collection 6 was 5 December 2017 V Collection 7 was 25 April 2019 V Collection 8 was 8 December 2020 V Collection 9 was 11 May 2022 V Collection X was 12 December 2023 So, V Collection XI will probably be April-May 2025 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZincT Posted March 21 Author Share Posted March 21 Thanks @Fleer I'm just looking at what I would get if I upgrade from version 8. As far as I can find out, just looking at soft instruments (not expansions/preset packs).... New for VC9 was: Augmented STRINGS Augmented VOICES CS-80 V4 Korg MS-20 Piano V3 Prophet-5 V Prophet-VS V SQ80 V New for VCX was: MiniFreak V Acid V CP-70 V Augmented GRAND PIANO Augmented BRASS Augmented WOODWINDS Rebuilt: Mini V 4 Wurli V 3 Although I already have CS-80 V4 (can't recall how I go this - maybe a freebie?). Still, a pretty good deal for $99 (plus the preset packs/expansions included). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Augmented Yangtze is the only new instrument not currently included in Collection V X. Usually there's a number of new instruments that have dropped before they announce a version update, so wondering if Collection V XI is really going to drop this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is good for what you get, but in all honesty, despite owning v9 since it's release I still go to their standout Pigments, and it's not even in the collection. The collection is great, no doubt, but it somewhat feels like i'm dipping in and out of the same pot and don't really feel that each plugin has it's own flavour or provides me much inspiration. I may be suffering with preset paralysis when I use it though, as it's an overwhelming amount of instruments and presets when combined, I just find pigments so much easier to bond with and focus on.

Agreed Pigments is pretty unbeatable and has had so many free updates over the years. It also has an excellent sequencer and arpeggiator. Preset paralysis is a major problem. I like to start in Unify and use it's dice to come up with ideas (currently 77,508 presets to choose from). Edited March 22 by ZincT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technostica Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 I picked up VC7 cheaply second hand and my price is also €99. I passed last time but it is tempting me again. But yesterday I found a retailer having a clear-out of old stock and ordered an upgrade from Komplete 13 Standard to CE for £100. A major retailer and it's a sealed box with HDD so there shouldn't be an issue. They only had one though. So I will wait for VC11 and get Augmented Yangtze and Diminished Trombones with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got it for free because I had X or did I pay for it? That's actually a nice one to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
