Arturia V Collection 8 FeaturesĪs expected, V Collection 8 will include all 24 instruments it offered in its previous version. Here, we’ll comb through everything you need to know about V Collection 8. Either way though, Arturia V Collection 8 has now arrived, bringing updates to many of its existing instruments, and introducing 4 more to the lineup. Of course, this likely won’t come as a surprise to most, as Arturia unveiled the previous version in mid-2019. The company recently announced its updated V Collection synth package for 2020. A $200 discount for existing user through April and I couldn't resist!Just in time to close out the rough year we’ve all had, Arturia made sure to squeeze some last minute joy in. Call me one of the few people not complaining about that, more studio time! And then, surprise - Arturia doing a Black Friday style discount on the Ultimate Collection. I was sitting pretty and was very content and then BOOM. Now if I can just find something to keep the wife busy. Hello Mellotron, B3, Prophet V, Jupiter 8, and so much more! 24 full access virtual instruments. A $200 upgrade for existing user through April and I couldn't resist! Then I bought a used Maschine Mk3 (wow!, a whole thread is needed just for that), and got access to Komplete Select and a whole world of NKS software, again all compatible with Logic. I use Logic Pro X and the core sounds are incredible, but when I added an Arturia KeyLab 61 mkii (also open box big discount), it took things to another level with the basic Analog Lab suite and the ability to use the controller for just playing, for recording, etc. So I jumped into the whole soft-synth VST thing and I am blown away. Those sales gave me a lot of funds to dive into software and midi - where dollars go a long, long way! (I didn't appreciate that at the start of the journey - despite some of you pointing that out.) Mind you, I bought all but one used, steeply discounted, and eventually sold the Prophet, Moog, and OP-1.

It started with a Prophet Rev2, then a Juno 106, then a Moog, an OP-1, and most recently a Korg MinilogueXD.
