The amount of knowledge this man has given me... Even the quality of production is top tier. You deserve a lllloooooottttt of money Mr. Gibbons!

Superb explanations Jef, thank you. I can see a lot of experimenting with these new additions over the holidays!

Great review, great video, thanks! That Vocoder... just WOW; how easy you can produce some good results!

Cool add-ons! especially Moogcoder :) thanks for showing details, Jef!

This was an excellent review Jeff!

OMG OMG OMG OMG MY TWO FAVOURITE MODELS, JUNO AND EMULATOR II. WOW. WOW. WOW.

The Vocoder review is quite elaborate. Thank you!

Plugins look amazing on that huge screen/monitor

they all sound great - Love the emulator - juno looks great too

Cool first track, very Enigma like. Thanks for showing the new Arturia synths in the new collection.

Thanks for the drop Jef Great info!

I dont comment often but this was a great video and you just got a new subscriber. Everything was well explained, awesome setup too!

Here before 1 million subscribers! haha. You make the best quality music/audio videos out there! Way higher quality than companies that make millions in revenue!

Excelent video. Thank you so much

Jef G. pleasure to listen to your casts. Absolute respect. In hindsight, i just want to reflect and say. EPIC that you were running those Yorkville YSM1P's .. those were and still are.. epic! Have a pair myself, love them till death.

Just upgraded to the V8 Collection. One of the best KZfaq channels for production tips & techniques.

Very well explained videos and not a lot of extra talking like some others. You are straight to the point.. Nice studio by the way..

The dead pan "sounds great" at 3:36 made me laugh lmao Great video Jef, thank you!

It took forever to download the Vocoder, but MAN it was worth it! So exciting!! 😎👍🏼

Thanks Jef!

Great!

Damn Jeff your ahead of the ball game with the new update.

I bought this pack at half price from a black friday deal. It truly is an epic collection of sounds. :D

Hi! What recording software are you using on this excellent video!? It seems very straightforward! I want it! lol

I've got the 7 last year and this year I am going to upgrade ...

Nice demo.How would you compare this to IKmultimedia Syntronik?

argh, I bought v7 on Black Friday and this comes out immediately afterward, what a kick in the shin

Nice video and I love the V-8, but I was a bit confused why you compare the old and new electric piano, but swiftly moved over comparing the Jupiters. It would have been nice to have that comparison, if only briefly.

hi Jef, my question is for the Maschine users. i have a MK3, and with V Collection 7, Maschine instantly recognised it. even had the little photo icons in the browser. i think Arturia automatically adds their own folder to the NI folders once you install the V Collection(at least for 7 it did). i don't remember actually doing anything special to make this happen. with V Collection 8, i can't seem to find any of the new synths(Emulator II V where are you?) in my Maschine browser. any advice on how to make V Collection 8 show up in Maschine's browser?

That's a serious monitor !! What type is it ?

ive never dialed in synth sounds. I really need sounds for songs like Take on Me and other 80's tunes. any advice on how to create these or are there any areas to share presets that I can maybe find from another user. I thought there would have been more usable presets for actual tunes.

Nice music

Hey Jef has Steinberg fixed the issue with using displays that size and the plug-ins being able to be viewed and resized?...Esp the ones they sell like Poly and Wave where you can't resize the window bcse a lot of plugins come fixed sizes and when opened up on big monitors that have multiple screens they spread across the screens and you can't view them on 1 monitor unless it's in edit mode only and you lose the view in player mode...I find it kinda weird that I constantly see these massive studios with well over $100k in gear and then you see them working on a 27" screen or whatever the biggest widescreen Mac has as their latest. I use 3 screens and my main is a 42" but I haven't upgraded since I still can't see certain plug-ins on my main monitor. I haven't heard that they addressed those issues with the updates to my last time checking on it supporting full resizing of the windows like Arturia has built in.

Wow Jeff we've come along way eh with these emulation.

Cool Jef - thanks for sharing that. by the way, how big is that screen in front of you and what is the model? thanks in advance.

Maybe somebody asked the question already, but are the famous sounds of songs of the 80's pre programmed? Or do you need to program them yourself? Liked you video Jef and thanks for the info and the feedback.👊🏻😉

I definitely want to see more Access Virus and MS2000 type emulations... There already is a software Virus, but I would like something other than Tarkus for MS2000. Also, I want all the original MS2000 patches for sure! And yes, I have an MS2000

The choir sound is most definitely used in Enjoy the silence by Depeche mode.

What monitor are you using this, please?

Nice comparison ! ;) It's funny the vst looks a tiny bit detune

Please tell us what screen that is Love it! Thanks

A Little sad that as a Sound Explorer Collection owner my cross grade price is $199. I was really hoping to see something like a $99 intro cross grade offer that would eventually end up $199 Nonetheless: Stage-73 definitely has some pretty Imaging, M/S processing, and Saturation harmonics going on and that's just me listening on Apple AirPods. I could see the Emulator II V tugging some of the spotlight away from the CMI V for that Lofi goodness - Resample into Pigments 2 if you wanna really get wild with it. Very curious to see how Analog Lab 5 runs. Thank you for your work, Jef!

Arturia has become one of my go tos for everything. Synths, FX, etc. All fantastic

Cool video! What make is your awesome big screen? Is it as fast as refresh a computer monitor? Thanks

I love the cough, I just looked this up yesterday before the release.

Please tell that you can actually sample into the Emulator.

Hey Jeff! Great video! What is the preset name in Emulator 2 for the coughing sounds? I have been going through every preset but can't find it anywhere...

2022 truth VST today are amazing

I'm looking into getting the collection, it makes NI look like 8bit!

Can you do a video on the Vochela doubler?

Where did you get those cough noises? were they part of the stock sounds or did you add them ?

I am new to this. Is this keyboard considered an arranger or a workstation ?

Hey Jef. What type of monitor is that? Do you recommend? Thanks..

Cool Monitor. I guess it is a TV set. What size is it ?

I must say, I onced read in Keyboard magazine that the E-mu II had a peculiar arpeggiator, one that could divide the neasure according to the number of keys depressed, so 1 note = 1 pulse per measure, 2 notes = 2 pulses per measure, 3 notes = three pulses, etc. I never found anything like it in any synth or sampler or rompler, be it modular, analog or virtual. I even talk to a guy at Intelligel about that feature and he told me that it was a great idea, one that he could implement someday in one of his modules. I'm not into modular synthesis, so I can't tell if he did. Still, I 'm wondering if the Arturia clone has that feature reproduced... Thanks for checking it out!

Hey, where did you get the Ferris Bueller sounds in the Emulator II? Do they come with it? I just bought the V collection and can't find them?. Thanks.

So Arturia V collection or Pigment 3 ?-) What would you choose ?

im getting it now! id rather pay for the virtual synths vs the actual instrument price just for one

FYI I tried the affiliate link and it just links to a general page, not the V collection. Would rather you got a cut of it as a thanks for all your great content.

I haven't even got an email from them!

The arturia Juno sounds a bit lower tuned. On purpose?

What TV are you using for your monitor?

tnx Jef! As a former Juno 6 owner i'm very interested in this. What are your thoughts on the realism of the Juno6 chorus (in I, II and I+II settings)? tnx!

Aside... I'm really loving your setup. In *theory* it's a bit acoustically compromised, but in terms of usability... the desk, the screen on the wall, all of it... this is one of the best I've seen. Of many.

What model/specs is that display?

I'll wait untl Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol (NKS) is fully supported in the new plugins: - Stage-73 V2 - Jup-8 V4 - Jun-6 V - Vocoder V - Emulator V

I'd just bought UVI's Synth Anthology collection and spent a bunch of time going through the Emulator II library. Man, that keyboard had the best sound library of probably any PCM synth ever made. Obviously they sound a bit low-fi by today's standards (which might be what you want), but it's usable sound after usable sound, right out of the box. The Fairlight, which usually gets most of the plaudits for early samples, is rubbish by comparison - you have to do a lot of work to get the library sounds to sound like they did on the hit records.

Arturia should take a second look at its upgrade price policy. I got V5 and spending 300 Euro, more than half the full price for less than half new synths, objectively seems a bit too much (I'm going to pass this).

The fact you leave your Akai tape recorder permanently in play mode which will wreck its pitch roller gives me anxiousness. I just want to go over there and turn the control lever to stop.

Bloody snob Some of us are happy with our Juno vst and at least we don't have to dust it so there 👀 Loved the video. P.S which is that cough patch? I feel like a sick day driving my Ferrari tomorrow.🤣

Nevermind the dimensional portal doubling as a monitor. He's got a Macintosh on the right and a direct telephone line to the President on the left.

Upgrades currently 50% off. At least for me. I don’t see it advertised anywhere.

could you do a demo of the emulator sounds everyone seems to do modern sounds this synth is famous for being used by depesh mode etc a modern sound is of no interest.

Would be nice if you could find that riff synth from policy of truth. I believe that what Allan used. And you looked excited like a kid in a candy store with head full of gray hair :)))

I'd only just got V Collection 7 so wasn't really interested in 8 ... and then I watched this video, so Arturia have you to thank for another sale, and I have you to blame. =p

It seams to me that I must upgrade.

but let's be honest cant those sounds be made with any synth?

20k for a coughing sampler? Now that's useful!

EMU 2.. come on,. Paul Hardcastle`s "19" was only no1 in most of the countries for over 16 weeks!

Except of the look of user interface JUN-6V has nothing to do with a Juno 6/60 - it just sounds like an analog poly synth vst- nothing more. Special when building sounds there is a significant difference in its behavior - where the original sounds good the JUN-6V is creating something - no fun, the finesse of the original is completely missing. As you have shown, to make JUN-6V sounds right much detail work is necessary. Looking forward how Roland will build its Juno60 VST... The Vocoder btw. is really great but has some bugs in its first version - but I think Arturia will fix them for sure. Emulator 2, Piano, is just a sampler or piano lib - not so interested. OB-Xa V analog poly synth vst- is also just an analog poly synth vst - cannot compare it, but compared to Matrix 1000, the Matrix 1000 sounds much more interesting. The last update had much more interesting inside - so I think 199.- is way too much, for me, just for the vocoder - but I spent it.

"JP8 - we wont dig too far into this one"....its only the most sought-after keyboard in the world....

Δορε Τεε

It's cool but these synths don't interest me enough to spend $199. Should have been a limited offer of $99 for existing v Collection 7 users.

The cough is a little macabre in these days of Covid 19🤭

17:42 - the original sounds slightly more warm and punchy

I think V8 is weak tea. I'll wait for V9 or 10 - when they hopefully have something worthwhile in it. Like, say, the DSS1, the Mirage, and (not or) the DKI Synergy. Also, with a 9/11 every day from COVID, that cough wasn't cool...

Man, I can never find anything worth while on Craigslist.

The original Juno and the software are not similar but basically indistinguishable. That kick drum though is basically unusable.

Doesn't impress me sorry to say others obviously it does
