For once I’m happy with the upgrade price and happy with the new content.
Usually I wait ages and then get it in a sale, but think I’ll buy it when I get home today.
Pure Lofi is superb. It is the only new instrument that warrants an upgrade for me. Kind of reminds me of my Kiviak’s Wofi hardware synth (which still does hold its own, especially thanks to the AI sample generator madness they’ve announced) and the Lofi 12 by Liven.
The Minibrute is nice, as it effectively gives you a kind of sofware Polybrute (but I had that already, as it’s what had swayed me to upgrade from V9 to V10 last May, when it was thrown in for free).

its sort of a tangental questions and my not be totally the right place to ask. But how does licensing work with upgrades?
So I bought the V_Collection 11 and it shows now as a separate item inside my library licenses in Arturia web. The V_Collection X has my 1 of 5 licenses still showing and the 11 shows none. I am going to assume that I can just click on my ASM and choose to upgrade and it will load the missing new instruments. But there are many common instruments between the to collections.
So for example. the Piano V3 or the Mini V4 are the same in each collection. Does that effectively mean that I now actually have 10 install licenses for each? 5 installs for the X and 5 for the collection 11? How does it handle the Analog Lab Pro? I know that the pro has many of the instruments patches/presets from the V_Collection, does that mean that those on the older V_C-X would get some of the sounds from the new instruments in the V_C-11 even if they don’t upgrade? or does Arturia limit what is given library wise to the version of V_C you own?
My mind in just firing off in all directions right now likely needlessly.
Hey guys! Does anybody know if I purchase the V Collection 11 INTRO, would I still have access to the full version of Pure Lofi?
Hello everyone.
I’ve updated all my selected instruments.
The dilemma is whether I should wait to upgrade to version 11.
I only have four from this collection (Jup-8000 V, Pure LoFi, Sem v3, and Augmented Mallets that I own, but in Play), which should be the only motivation to upgrade to this new version.
I downloaded the Jup-8000 V and Pure LoFi demos to get an initial opinion on the relevance of my musical choice.
I’m giving up until May 20th for some time to think about it, as I already invested in Cubase Artist a few weeks ago; my budget is primarily for my family.
Answer before the 20th, otherwise, patience while waiting for another opportunity is also good advice.
" I’ve practically reviewed all the updated instruments, and I must admit that their on-screen presentations seem more refined and more pleasing to the eye.
Especially with the Augmented series, we’d spend more time contemplating the patterns on display.
I think Arturia will further distinguish itself from its competitors with a new design for its product images, not to mention the sound quality that, for me, makes me a loyal customer. "
A+
Ouais, je vois la même chose sur mon ordi. Mais tu sais comment Analog Lab Essential me laisse seulement configurer les presets avec des limitations ? J’ai peur que ce soit pareil avec les autres instruments inclus… Qu’il y ait quelques limitations par rapport aux versions complètes. Est-ce que t’as déjà acheté une version de V Collection Intro pour me confirmer ?
merci !!
Sorry @Shaels, I only have the Pro 9 and 10 collections.
I started here with Analog Lab Play.
Buying this version wouldn’t be worth it for just one instrument, when I can upgrade to the Pro version for the same price.
I need to know which instruments you have from Arturia.
The best thing is to ask the online store support directly; they’re very friendly and respond quickly.
The advantage is that by starting with this collection, you can get a very affordable price and upgrade to the Pro version at some point. Just be patient and leave your email address to receive the information.
I’m not disappointed, even though I only have virtual products, but they’re all good quality.
Yours.
Musical Friendship.

Can confirm issues with the Augmented series (V2) in VC XI on Mac (Sequoia) with resources on an external SSD.
Upgraded from VC X to VC XI on a Mac Mini M4 (256Gb SSD) with external 2Tb SSD. Resources installed on the external SSD.
Everything worked flawless with VC X since February.
Upgrade to XI everything works except the Augmented synths. No presets, all is clear white on standalone.
Augmented VST’s in Cubase 14 Pro get error messages on GUI and recommendation to re-install.
Tried cleaning prefs, removing db3’s, uninstalling, reinstalling (both ASC & from resources homepage), with no success.
Very strange all other 40 synths works but not the Augmented series.
Must be something wrong with Augmented V2.
Have contacted Arturia support with ticket and wait for reply.

Well, once you get the new version downloaded and settled in, let me know what you think. I only got version X last year and not sure the upgrade is worth it just yet.
Hello everyone,
Well it’s noted for May 9th, the day of the payment of my pension (seen with my wife) I switch to version 11 since I normally have until May 20th for the offer.
I have already installed the demos of Jup-8000 V and Pure Lofi, the only instruments I am missing to complete the collection (of course Augmented Mallet and SEM V3 in full version).
I think the Elka synth is new to this collection as well, although it came out last year as a separate VST. I got it free with X when I purchased it.
This is a very nice synth, I use it a lot.

And if that doesn’t change your mind 
Sorry I couldn’t miss this other video.
USD299 to upgrade? Wow, that’s AUD462, Arturia. Which is a lot of money.
Who is giving you pricing strategy advice? That’s taking value based pricing to an extreme.
I’ve bought everything so far - but this time I think I’ll pass.

is that from X?
Yes - I’m holding off on this upgrade due to the major increase in price. Arturia seems to be getting some screwy strategic thinking on this, or worse they’re just following market trends.
We’re not infinitely rich and there’s been a whole ‘cost of living crisis’ for the past year or so.
This is incredibly tone deaf of Arturia in a market where musicians are amongst the worst paid people out there.
