I'd love to see Arturia add classic drum Machines to this collection. Linn Drum, Linn 9000, Emu Drumulator, Emu Sp12, E-mu Sp1200, Roland Tr 808 & 909 Alesisi sp 16, Mattel Synsonic Drums. It would be cool.
Time was they had Spark was both a software and a hardware controller but that has been discontinued. Maybe they can return to that in a different form.
Cp 70 was the first stage piano that you could get to be as loud as anything else on the stage, that’s why it was so popular and loved, first piano you could turn up to 11 !!!
Don't think we'll ever get a D50 or M1 from them, at their level you need to license the original samples to produce something people will take seriously and pay for, and both Roland and Korg already sell their own plugins for those.
I love Arturia’s V Collection I have had this since v4 and I think it’s awesome so when I saw your video it was an instant buy for me can’t wait to get home and upgrade 👍
Hi Mike and a very merry Christmas to you. Thank you for all your videos over the years. I hope you are doing well and look forward to many more brilliant videos in 2024. Much love and appreciation from a Swedish musician from the 80's who is learning to crawl in the new world of recording music. ❤
Love Arturia. Remembering back in the 80s when all I had was a little Yamaha PSS with built-in speakers and thinking "If I only had a DX-7..what I could do"! Now I need another 20 years to catch up!
Thanks for the video... I'm still on VC.9 and I may pass on the new offerings in X, although I'm tempted due to the improved sound of the Mini V.4. Though to keep all these synths working on newer operating systems updating is inevitable at some point. So I'm still looking forward to Arturia's future releases.... PPG Wave and a collection of drum machines please 🙂
I bought V Collection 8 as a result of your video a couple of years ago. I bought 9 without checking what was changed. At least I watched your video first this year but gonna buy it again. 🙂
Perhaps you could help me. Yrs ago I was playing solo piano gigs using cakewalk and a laptop running setlists which would play backing tracks. I can not find this function in the latest version Band lab. I also can not find any articles that reference this. I'm new to your channel and love it. You're teaching this 70 yr old dog new tricks. Thanks
No way am I paying 199$ for this. I mean, even as an upgrade 199$ is way too much. I wouldnt mind paying 99$ for it. I just love my V9 and no need to upgrade yet. I just purchased the minifreak too..yah..they should give me the VX upgrade for free.
Hi, I love your tutorials and I have a question about publishing my songs on my own in social media after I published them on Distrokid or Tunecore? Is it allowed or not, according to copywrites that these portals get from me when I publish songs?
Same. I may upgrade to X when they have a sale on it so I can pay $149 or less. My upgrade price of $299 is a bit much for the little that they added to X.
@@JoeyFTL It's awesome, the only downside for me is that it's not currently an M1-native plugin, and the compatibility layer is a bit buggy so occasionally crashes my DAW. But it sounds wonderful!
As something for nostalgia fans the CP70 is interesting but as an instrument - even back in the day - it’s a dog. Twangy, bright and quite thin sounding. Obviously it was important when first released as it was the only piano that sounded anywhere near the real thing that you could use with an amplifier. Heavy as hell though.
Every update of V collection feels so underwhelming nowadays. There is like at most 1 new instrument that is actually interesting. The upgrade prices are way to steep. They aren't that much lower than the price of the entire V collection from nothing, during their sales. There are still analog synths they have not emulated. And as other commentor suggested drum machines. So there are things they could add that feels in line with what the V collection used to be. The only thing interesting with this update, for me, is the CP-70 (some might argue that is doesn't fit the V collection series, but if they are including organs, I do feel it does, more than the Piano V). I'm fed up with the sound of the TB-303, sure I had my teens in the 90s, so that might contribute, but it is basically a one trick pony, the only thing the TB-303 really does in a unique way, is that acid bass, and it does little for other genres, even the classic drum machines that also often are limited are much easier to use in different genres. I have nothing against the minifreak, but they could have implemented the minifreak sounds in to pigments instead, not locking it to an interface that is best suited as an software editor for the hardware (I think it does that duty). The augmented series, does not fit the V collection, the FX series is more in line with the V collection than the augmented series. But also they are way to complex to program and still with limitation, and the presets aren't as inspiring as one would have thought, so I don't find any clear use of them. Great hybrid presets, or a great engine for creating hybrid sounds, would both be nice, the augmented series is neither to me. Also I don't like how they use re-built plugins in their marketing. It is fine if they need to charge for upgrades, and that buyers of a V collection upgrade gets them for free. But it feel like they are overpricing the upgraded versions, just to try to convince more buyers to get the new V collection instead of just an upgrade version of a specific instrument. And the V collection, is still missing the most obvious addition, a modular environment that allows combining parts from different V collection instruments. It is really strange considering that was what Arturia was promising with their Origin hardware, 15 years ago. At least then, with every upgrade, there would be some interesting components added to the modular grid, even if the instrument as a whole may not be that exciting. And if they run out of ideas of classic analog hardware to emulate, there are lots of euorack modules, especially in terms of unique filters and some cool oscs... and that way they could also give back to the synth community, by licensing from the makers, that is usually small, with little budget, but with an audience that would still want the actual hardware, even if they had the emulation, as the physical hardware with CV inputs that connects to their other gear is something very different compared to a virtual modular rig.
Arturia wants in on the orchestral tools market fine. Fine. Whatever. But why can't they keep it separate from their synth collection? I make electronic music. I'm more likely to use samples of a seagull farting in my projects than I am using woodwinds.
The augmented stuff is silly and pointless. The V collection was always about emulation and could easily continue to be about emulations. To me the augmented series if arturia trying to fill the next upgrade of the v collection with filler junk. The value proposition of the X version isn't great, the upgrade is $199 for essentially 2 synths, some filler junk and 2 slightly tweaked models. I'll skip it.
I'd love to see Arturia add classic drum Machines to this collection. Linn Drum, Linn 9000, Emu Drumulator, Emu Sp12, E-mu Sp1200, Roland Tr 808 & 909 Alesisi sp 16, Mattel Synsonic Drums. It would be cool.
Yeah, I strongly agree!
Time was they had Spark was both a software and a hardware controller but that has been discontinued. Maybe they can return to that in a different form.
Maybe add the Drum brute and Drum brute impact ....at least .... before we get into the Akai Xr20 ...or the Alesis Sr 18 ...
Cp 70 was the first stage piano that you could get to be as loud as anything else on the stage, that’s why it was so popular and loved, first piano you could turn up to 11 !!!
In v collection 11, PPG waves, Roland D 50 and Elka Synthex
they just released the elka synthex
Don't think we'll ever get a D50 or M1 from them, at their level you need to license the original samples to produce something people will take seriously and pay for, and both Roland and Korg already sell their own plugins for those.
Always happy to see new stuff, but I have more than I'll ever need between Arturia, Analog Lab, Omnisphere, Kontakt, etc.
I love Arturia’s V Collection I have had this since v4 and I think it’s awesome so when I saw your video it was an instant buy for me can’t wait to get home and upgrade 👍

Hey Bob, thank you! Merry Christmas to you :)
Currently on Black Friday sale, get it while you can!
For the install I left the computer on and went to bed, when I got up it was still installing !!!
Definitely a bulky download
Love Arturia. Remembering back in the 80s when all I had was a little Yamaha PSS with built-in speakers and thinking "If I only had a DX-7..what I could do"! Now I need another 20 years to catch up!
Exactly the video I needed to get me closer to the decision wether to upgrade or not (still undecided, but edging toward YES)
Really excited to see the CP-70 on board. Can't wait to get the new version - gonna need to save up!
Awesome...as always.
Thank you :)
Copped X collection after having analog V for a while, really excited to use it
Love you Mike…hope you’re well. Keep up the excellent work.
Thank you :)
In 2004: Black Friday Sale upgrade is 99$. I believe if Upgrade regularly would be 99$ more would upgrade.
Thanks for the video... I'm still on VC.9 and I may pass on the new offerings in X, although I'm tempted due to the improved sound of the Mini V.4.

Way too expensive to upgrade from 9. Skip
I bought V Collection 8 as a result of your video a couple of years ago. I bought 9 without checking what was changed. At least I watched your video first this year but gonna buy it again. 🙂
I can't justify the purchase just yet... 😮 199.00 is steep when they were just offering the whole v9 for 299.99

Same line of thought here. I also realized, I;m using more U-He synths in my tracks than these emulations
So do owners of Mini V from V9 not get the updated version..?
It's V Collection Cross. I have spoken!
Lol
V Collection Twitter Edition.
Just bought/bagged it.
Hi, I love your tutorials and I have a question about publishing my songs on my own in social media after I published them on Distrokid or Tunecore? Is it allowed or not, according to copywrites that these portals get from me when I publish songs?
I like the analog lab update gui
Still on v collection 8
This one isn’t adding cool stuff, atleast for me, guess i will wait for the next one
Same. I may upgrade to X when they have a sale on it so I can pay $149 or less. My upgrade price of $299 is a bit much for the little that they added to X.
It's a bit too incremental of an update for me to warrant a purchase. Crossing my fingers for a JX-8P emulation for V-11!
JX-8P would be a dream
@@JoeyFTL PG-8X is awesome (I've got a JX-08 and PG-8X has it beat hands-down), but there's no decent M1-native JX-8P plugin yet unfortunately.
@@_mickmccarthy now that's a surprise! I'm going to have to check that one out!
@@JoeyFTL It's awesome, the only downside for me is that it's not currently an M1-native plugin, and the compatibility layer is a bit buggy so occasionally crashes my DAW. But it sounds wonderful!
@@_mickmccarthy come to think of it, a JX-3P might be another I haven't seen done well outside of the Roland Cloud
I like the Acid V, probably the only thing that sticks out amongst the new expansions from the v collection 9
Does the collection x come with all the virtual instruments instead of the demo versions. Do you have to pay for the instruments
Será que um dia vão conseguir lançar Gibson G101 ou Kalamazoo?
You forgot some of the biggest users of the CP electric grand: Tony Banks, Phil Colins and Daryl Hall.
Hi MIKE. cane the arppegiator be set to triplet notes?
I was wondering why the interface of your Piano V looks so different. Is it an older or the actual version?
As something for nostalgia fans the CP70 is interesting but as an instrument - even back in the day - it’s a dog. Twangy, bright and quite thin sounding. Obviously it was important when first released as it was the only piano that sounded anywhere near the real thing that you could use with an amplifier. Heavy as hell though.

Not enough for me to upgrade from 8 sorry. If the upgrade price was £100 I may have bit.
Same thing I said.
Peter Gabriel was the biggest user of the Yamaha EP
I'll probably skip this one. Keyscape still un matched by arturia. UA's Moog sounds way better still too, no polyphony on it, but still.
Mike - X is for the Roman Numeral 10 much like V is for Five
Looks and sounds great; but $600 is outside my price range!
Upgrade is $399, still too steep!
What's new?
The augmented stuff is silly and pointless. The V collection was always about emulation and could easily continue to be about emulations.

How do I plug in a grand piano into my computer?
The Augmented components also sound sanitised, uninspired and lacklustre; attractive graphics and a slick UI are not enough to make sound plugin.
I understand where you’re coming from but you are wrong. 😑
@TheHologr4m Occasionally, but not this time. 🍸
Sheet.
WAY OVER PRICED!
This company. Still paying for 9
Take care of your health. Been thare.
Thank you :)
