V Collection 12?

Super, le Memory Moog est sorti. Voila des synthés comme on les aiment. Il est déjà dans mon PC.

Yeah, but the SY77 could use a dollop of Arturia sauce.

Hi, everyone! I’m sorry for posting this here, but for some reason I can’t find a way to post a new topic. I’m on a Macbook Pro M4 with Tahoe, so if anyone has any ideas why, I’d appreciate it!

This being said, I had a question about V Collection 11. I think I currently have V Collection 9 on my other computer if I’m not mistaken? This being said, I have a new computer and am trying to open older sessions. Does V Collection 11 replace V Collection 9? Or are they separate installs? If I install V Collection 11, will the instruments open in an old session even though it was V Collection 9? How does all of this work? I can’t find any info on this.

Sorry for posting in the wrong thread. I would’ve made a new post, but there is no “New Topic” button anywhere to be found. I do appreciate your time!

If you click on the “Software Instruements” part of the path under the V Collection 12 title above, ie ‘Software Instruments/V Collection/v-collection-11/ 1 vote’, it will take you to the main page and you can select the item you want to post a new topic on. V Collection is at the bottom. Select it and then the new topic button at the top right of the screen.

To answer your question, V Collection 9 and 11 are different in that several of the synths are rewrites in V11. Synths such as SEM and MiniV are using an updated synth engine which is not backwards compatible with the earlier version. So, patches for some V9 synths will not open in V11. The good news is that both versions can be installed so you can for example have MiniV3 and MinV4 installed on the same machine. As a safety measure (and good practice) I would render or bounce those tracks in older projects to audio as a backup of the track.

Hey! Thanks for the heads up on all of this! I appreciate it! I admit; I couldn’t figure out how to find that option to be able to post. To my understanding, you were saying to click where it says v-collection-1/1 vote" and I should be able to make a new topic? I just didn’t see any of that after clicking that at the top of the screen.

All that being said, thanks for answering the question about v9 vs v11! My main reason for asking was if v11 used stuff from v9, if just installing 11 would be backwards compatible so you could save SSD space as to not install some libraries twice, but it sounds like better practice is to just install both any way?

I have my v9 installed on an external SSD, so would I have to do that again, or is there a way to just download the essentials and reference what’s already there? This is the stuff that’s a bit confusing to me.

I would install V11 and use that moving forward while keeping the legacy stuff from V9 solely for use in older projects but making sure, as I said before, that you render or bounce those legacy plugin tracks to audio in case of problems.

There will come a time when you do not need V9 as you create new projects using V11 (or newer :))and can uninstall it.

You should install VC11.
If your VC9 is up-to-date, VC11 will only install the new instruments since VC9 (Acid V, MiniBrute V, MiniFreak V, Synthx V, Jup-8000V, Pure LoFi, CP-70V, Augmented Grand Piano/Brass/Woodwinds/Mallets/Yangtze), and the upgraded instruments (MiniV4, SEM V3, Wurli V3), and keep all the other existing instruments from VC9 (including the now “legacy” MiniV3, SEM V2 and Wurli V2; these 3 instruments are the only “duplicates” between VC9 and VC11 Pro).
If your VC9 was not up-to-date, it will also install the latest updates for the existing instruments.
