Mine is $99 for V Collection 11 (I'm on VC 8).

[Canopus]

My upgrade price to V Collection 11 from VC 9 is €99, so I'll wait a few more years.

Also, I got an error on that page when using Firefox, saying "_500 Can't access property 'length', E is undefined". Oh, okay. So I had to go through Chrome to find that offer.

Yeah, it took me a few goes before I could even login. Maybe the site is under load? IDK

otherwise it wouldn't be Arturia

I own V11 Pro and my offer is $299 🤣

$99 update from X for me... Easy pass. Diminishing returns and it would just be chasing my tail to stay current.

Same.  Decided early on I'd skip the Arturia BF sale this year.  Even though I'm skipping, I'm disappointed that they didn't get FX6 out before BF and my upgrade to FX5 is $99 but was $49 last BF sale.

Yeah Arturia has the weirdest calculations on upgrade prices. It's really a guessing game as to who pays what! I find with a lot of these companies, they really only offer new users the best deals. So instead of paying each year / version, you're often better off ignoring their existing customer offers and buy from a completely different company offering new customer discounts.

The biggest bang for buck is almost always in the initial bundle, so instead of getting a few small additions at a higher price, you get a whole heap of different instruments and effects, or sounds from a completely different company.

that price tells you have everything. That would be a second license just in base you need 10 authorizations.

[Magic Russ]

Their algorithm is weird.  It will give you upgrades based on what you have but will ignore that you have the latest version.

For example I have FX Collection 3 and I upgraded to 5.  It will give me a price to upgrade to version 5 based on the fact that I have version 3 and ignore that I already have version 5.

The only recent synth they released that caught my attention was the Jup-8000 V and it's not on sale and not included in the Collection 11. I'd rather spent those $99 upgrading my Korg Collection to version 6. I'll wait for a future V Collection with more interesting additions.

Furthermore... I have a REAL Roland Jp8080 to play with. Just hoped for a more convenient way to get similar sounds in my daw.

Anyway... the Usual Suspects will eventually release their PERFECT JP-8000/JP-8080 emulation one of these days

Looks like it's included to me - unless you're talking about the Intro version.  Don't think anything's come out since 11 was released.

I just did the V Collection update from 9 to 11. 

There's quite a bit to unpack, but...

• I'm finding a lot of inspiration in Pure LoFi
• Acid sounds better than I was expecting.
• The Augmented series sounds pretty good with a lot of potential.  They seem to still be pretty resource intensive.
• I'm not sure the others don't fill a need that isn't already covered.

I stand corrected. I did a fast search and found the page https://www.arturia.com/store/v-collection-pro and I didn't noticed the "See More" button at the end 😇 Thanks for the remark.

Well... this changes the things a bit. I will look more closely the rest of instruments added for me. I'm also at the version 9 but I bought some solo items like the minibrute and minifreak. And I totally forgot about the Synthx V that also looks interesting.
