It had been removed in V Collection 5, but was of course still available for those with VC4. As far as I know, that is the only virtual instrument that has ever been removed. I could never understand that, I had Spark with the hardware controller and used to think it was brilliant. Odd move why they removed it, must've been an issue with some underlying licensing or coding perhaps?

It’s still available for €149, but they’ve never bothered to make a VST3 version. Pretty strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

satya Posted Thursday at 06:29 AM Share Posted Thursday at 06:29 AM at least MPE should be a normal standard in all the synths Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just tested MPE functionality on the OP-XA V from Cakewalk and it works fine. Which specific Arturia synth are you referring to? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I purchased V Collection X on March 21st for $US99.00 As of 1:18:27 PM Thursday, 24 April 2025 France time, my Arturia log on still shows “Upgrade from V Collection 9 to the V Collection X“ for $US299.00 (I probably have another Arturia product that qualifies for another update to V Collection X.

That makes sense I guess. I think during sales people were getting offers for $149 from memory from 8 to X. It will be interesting to see if there are any changes to pricing and upgrades. I can't imagine upgrading personally this round unless they drop something mind-blowing, which is pretty unlikely (for most devs these days). I have enjoyed a couple of their semi recent releases though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap10NRG Music Posted Thursday at 12:47 PM Share Posted Thursday at 12:47 PM I would seriously hope that they are considering releasing some of their own synths as Emulations, particularly the PolyBrute/PB12. I mean realistically they kind of have priced that thing WAY out of the league of most folks, but a software version would make it affordable and enhance it's propogation in the industry PLUS I can tell you as a person who owns the Korg Library, it has helped me make decisions to purchase several of my physical synths having played with the software versions. Anyway I don't see any lack of material to use to create additional "new synths" but I really do wish they'd hit up their own catalogue. Same goes for Yamaha and several others. Just saying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet they will. After all, they've already made a start with the software versions of MiniBrute and MiniFreak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Osterday Posted Thursday at 01:33 PM Share Posted Thursday at 01:33 PM Usually the best deal is to wait for Black Friday sales. Upgrades from ANY version of V Collection to the latest have been $99. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so looking forward to it 😃 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioschmaudio Posted Thursday at 02:42 PM Share Posted Thursday at 02:42 PM (edited) The product page isn't there yet but they already show the upgrade prices. My upgrade price is €199. They call it "V Collection 11 Pro". I wonder why they added the "Pro". Will they have different tiers, like V Collection 11 Lite, Standard and Pro?

audioschmaudio Posted Thursday at 02:46 PM Share Posted Thursday at 02:46 PM (edited) Funny bug at the moment on their website. When I go to https://www.arturia.com/store/v-collection-pro (the link from the upgrade button) I get an endless redirect https://www.arturia.com/store/de/store/de/store/de/store/de/store/de/store/de/store/de/store/de/store/de/store/de/store/de/store/de/store/de/store/de/store/de/store/de/store/de/store/de/store/de/store/de/v-collection-pro 🫠 Edited Thursday at 02:46 PM by audioschmaudio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Russ Posted Thursday at 02:57 PM Share Posted Thursday at 02:57 PM Oddly when I logged in today everything under My Account was in German, but when I clicked on the links they were in English. Also, more importantly, they have updated nearly everything. The main change is in popups, with lots of bug fixes. The Augmented series seems to have been updated to v2 as well, at least with the ones I have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
