Came here for a review of the Behringer B-Collection 8.

Bro I’m dying. Your reference to Behringer.

Cant wait for the arturia behringer video

Ah, that is why they were selling me the V-Collection 7 so cheap a few days ago!

Great video. Really cool chords. Thanks for the awesome review!

Excellent vid! And thank you for not playing 'jump' when you were demonstrating the OB X!

I usually think "shut up and play" when I watch reviews but this was a great balance of info and audio demos! subbed!

Soo his weekend,finally got V Collection on a great offer, so happy happy joy joy, great video!

I love your humor Benn.

Love your vids man. That OBX gives me inspiration every time I pull it up!

Love your energy bro (and the behringer reference 🤣🤣🤣) subscribed.

Awesome review! I got a 50% discount from Arturia today and ended up going in to buy it after watching your video. Thanks for the review!

Helpful and informative! Thank you.

Way to represent! Go Arturia!

Great review. You’re a fan but don’t try to hide it. I am too. 😀 Their plugins are so practical, creative and useful. And I can’t wait to hit its update!

1:33 Omg the synth transition after the jingle was amazing o.o

Really enjoyed that. Thanks.

Just bought a Keystep so it was rad to watch you put these through their paces with it. Now to go learn Jump.

Nice work, you have a new follower for sure! 👍🏻

Just had to stop the video and say how hilarious you are ! The “B” company was clutch 😂

i love these kind of videos you do about software

I'm a big fan of Arturia for sure !! I don't think I'll ever explore the full potential of this collection within my lifetime.

I've never seen him acknowledge it directly but Benn saying "they shut that shit DOWN" means he either really is aware that he looks like Negan or it's some wild universal synchronicity that has led to Benn being a synthesis genius and touring musician clone of the guy

V collection is great. Can't wait to try 8

The keystep still remains my favorite midi-controller. It's just so handy and plays really well with touch-sensitivity.

Pretty useful review, cheers.

Damn, your V6 video is my favorite video of yours, and that Laura Brannigan commentary part was what made me subscribe. 🤣

Awesome ❤️ !!!

wow these sound really good

That Vocoder actually sounds great. Up until hearing this, I have pretty much despised all of them. That Arturia Mellotron wins the mellotron race, as being able to convincingly "mellotronize" your own sounds is a pretty incredible sound design trick. Props for mentioning it, it is brilliant. I believe my V8 upgrade for $99 ships tomorrow! After hearing your demos, I am pretty excited about getting some new VSTs for the first time in quite a while. You chose great sounds and music to share. Beautifully musical clips! Thank you!

This is how u review a product amazing bro

It's so good to have access to these emulations, thinking about how much they cost back in their day.

The new synths in this are excellent..hands down a massive improvement. Analog Lab 5 which I got a free upgrade to is very much improved 👍🏼

I LOVE my Keystep! Aftertouch. Perfect size for my setup. Arturia products all sound great and you can live off the presets forever. How they use less cpu than any of the others I have, is a great mystery you could maybe shed some light on. AND -- Arturia has fantastic customer service!!!! I have never been ignored or not helped and recently someone helped me above and beyond.

I owned an Emulator II in the early 2000s. It was dead when i got it and had it restored at EARS in NYC. It had been owned previously by The Residents (!) and had a bunch of floppy discs from them.

Staying tuned for the Behringer video :)

Synthi and Vocoder are my favs in this collection

Thanks!

EEK- Much love for "Orange" ! Released an EP of citrus themed songs using it back in the netlabel days~

What a beautiful patch for the first OB-XA demonstration. Was that a Factory patch?

That OB-Xa sounds DOPE!

I love there effects, just as much as my UAD or plug-in alliance stuff. I love there 1176. I think imma try this bundle out, thanks for the vid :)

Love VH jump.

Interested to see the inside of _that_ B. Ehringer product. I was developing a hardware mod for the original keystep and got somewhat familiar with it's internals. I know the big B employed reverse engineering in the past, but it'll be interesting to see how blatant they actually are.

really funny to see the giant keystep in front of the tiny Oberheim x))

I was hooked on the collection 8 when the Juno vst was able to follow a yazoo don't go sounds tutorial

Nice! I have a hardware Dave Smith OB-6, and can say that the OB-Xa pairs well and stands up decently with it. I've watched a lot of Oberheim videos, and Arturia's recreation seems accurate to me.

6:02 took me a couple of listens before I heard "in app tutorials", instead of "inept tutorials". I guess I'm used to really low bars.

I got the VII at black friday for half price :) just loving it!

I like them. Ouchy price! I have an unreasonable amount of love for my Keystep. Great for a beginner like me.

Nice.

Thanks

Jun 6-V sounds beautiful

I'm looking at this because ProAudioStar has got these older licenses for $50, probably because they're pushing the V Collection 9 now. Can't wait to dig in!

Thanks I just got this with a 60% off deal

Great video, as always, but I'm really looking forward to hearing your slap down of the company that begins with the letter B.

it's a steal.

The mellotron is fucking amazing. I cant escape it lol.. I keep going back to it song after song

old jingle YEAH

always great stuff...have you played with the new equator 2?

Just snapped this up for $149 on special for Arturia users. I already own pigments 3.5. It was a no brainer.

Nice review, I wonder if someone want this legendary software 🧐

would love to see a v collection 9 and fx collection review!

Arturia!

Skipped V7 update but tempted by updating to V8 due to the Juno 6 V.

Hey Benn, are you thinking of doing a video on the strymon Nightsky? I figured it might be right up your alley

Hey, I love that 'swing' clone from Arturia. Let's hope Behringer doesn't sue them - edit - wow, I am not the only one having that association. Definitely time to upgrade my V-collection.

5:09 "When you're cold , fire burns the earth, and everyone gets burned - like meeee)))"

I loved the very very very subtle jab at behringer there. Really nice touch! Lol, seriously though fuck bear ringer.

One unorthodox request: I would be very interested in you reviewing..... the book Voice Leading by David Huron. Just to be clear, it is not a classical/Western music theory book, but mostly talks about acoustic and auditory phenomena (which anyone who's seen an instrument under a spectrum analyser must have wondered about), and I think it's a wonderful reading material for anyone who's producing electronic music, where we can create instruments with any kind of spectral "footprint", unlike classical music, where this has to be done by orchestration. Anyway, at least for me that book was intensely interesting because it exactly answered the kind of questions I've always had.

Well, this made me pull the trigger on the V Collection. Since I own the Keylab 61, it was discounted to $260 which seems like a bargain.

This collection seems to me to be the most lovingly crafted, artfully executed bit of plugin engineering. If you have the money, I believe it is worth every cent. I was lucky to grab the 75% off sale which was offered to Pigment owners (ending April 3, 2022). I bought pigment for half price a while back so I'm really lucky. I couldn't really afford it but I grabbed it anyway. So glad I did. The sounds are divine.

Wow, on the wishlist this collection goes! I don't see myself ever being able to afford $600 literally ever, but maybe! One day! There's still a lot of free stuff I can use!

loved my orange vocoder

I'm really interested in what you'd make of korg gadget... It costs less, looks simple, but weirdly can be crazy deep if you approach it with a modular mindset; like each gadget as a module attached to a sequencer with strong parameter automation. I've been digging it, and it has a bunch of adorable bootleg korg versions of obxa, casio, mpc, moog, and some others that are like hybrids of synths.

Amazing how does that little box do all that.

6:10 onwards, so very Vangelis in Blade Runner.

Benn roasts Behringer harder than Thanksgiving turkey XD love it. I have 4 Behringer products - the UMC202HD, 2x B2301a speakers, and Xenyx X1222 mixer for shows. Love all four pieces despite hating the company's ethical position or lack thereof. However, I have recently became a fanboy of Arturia and got me a Studio interface and now wait for the Limited Edition Minilab MKII Orange to come out.

1:33 Ah yeah, this is what I came here for.

Orange Vocoder reference!

watching this after paying for it like a boss 😎

I didnt even know the V8 collection was announced.

Hi, Benn. can you please make a few shots of Swing's internal pcb's and test SysEx transmission to/from PC? Hope they don't share the same hardware and firmware with crippled MIDI specs and routing.

Your video is not helpful to prevent me from buying this collection. 😄 Love it!

While these are great - I’m torn between this and the UVI vintage vault 3.. Are Arturia VSTs CPU heavy like the Roland Cloud VSTs? I know UVI are samples so I’m leaning more towards them (plus they have an MKS-80 Super Jupiter VST - or as they call it - Mercury 80), than having to upgrade my MacBook yet again. Also, any word on UVI having a vintage vault 4? I think they usually come out with their VST packages at the beginning of the year and vintage vault 3 is 11 months old.

The GForce M-Tron Pro is quite a good Mellotron VST. I also have the Arturia Mellotron. I bought extra presets from Virtual. Synth Pads Both sound great.

I think I prefer the Casio vs FM after tested the new patches in Analog Lab V

How did you record the screen of the V-Collection?

Great video. You know, if you pay full-price for the V-Collection, yes, it does seem like a lot of money, but like you say, you get instruments that are very well developed. I bought in on V-Collection 3 and skipped 4, bought 5, skipped 6 and bought 7, each time with a price break from Arturia at the time of introduction. They DO have sales annually and at other random times as well, it seems. If you can get it on one of their sale times, it's certainly worth the money-you won't find ANY of the represented instruments in real life for anywhere near the money you will pay for the Arturia product, and their emulations are amazing. Couple them with some good production plugs on your DAW and you can create amazing tracks for not a lot of money. Black Friday Sales rule. I also just got the Lindell 80 Neve channel strip and the CLA 76 compressor on sale. Running the CS-80 V into that signal chain is tremendous. But yeah, Arturia does a great job-worth the money, I think. Again, great video-thank you for posting!

Price during black Friday 2021; 199 Euro's. Bought it and it's installing as we speak 😎

Can this Arturia emulator II load the OMI universe of sound libraries?

Great video! Maybe someone has mentioned it, but the Emulator II was not $30K when it came out, the II plus was a cool 10K. 1984 dollars! Still hella expensive!

Would you be willing to review the IK Multimedia Syntronik & Roland Cloud collections and compare them to Arturia’s V collection?

Jump was actually recorded on an OB-X, but he played an OB-Xa in the music video

so do I get all of Arturia's I-7 collection as well ?

Just out of curiosity how is the vcollection on CPU?

I'm new to the synth world and recently just bought the Modular V and Mini V, having way too much fun with them!

I make a living producing music, V-Collection is a no brainer.

I would probably buy it if the Roland JX 8P would be part of it. But that isn’t the case. Super review.

I wonder what Benn's opinion is on Vaporwave.
