Mate, you need to make a full on sound design and music production course. I'd buy that in an instant! The melodies you made to demo the new instruments sound great

You know that arturia's made something really incredible when their website is down after they release it

Currently downloading mine. Ever since hopping aboard the V collection train in 2016 find myself regularly throwing money at Arturia because they do everything synthesis so well.

With these more recent videos you are creating, they are quickly becoming a gold standard for my own content development. You are very thoughtful and attentive to the details of your videos, but now even moreso. Very good ! Been a licensed user of Arturia’s V Collection for quite some time, but I really like the addition of the Ensoniq ! . . . and the updates to the other VSTi’s are definitely welcome. Haven’t gotten it yet, but intend to when the right time presents itself.

"Screamy mono-ey things" is the best way I've ever heard that particular type of synth be described and I love it, it's my favourite type of lead for sure.

As always, another excellent review. Well done. You pack such a lot of relevant info into every video and I’m learning a huge amount from them.

Always great to see you drop a new video and no exception here. To pile on the Arturia love, I've been all in with these guys (HW & SW) for years and I'll add that their support team is great. I'm not the most knowledgeable when it comes to this domain, and I find their team professional, knowledgeable and patient. Thanks again for all your great content.

Very happy Arturia customer. I really like the focus here on updating and improving existing instruments. The Piano, in particular, will get a ton of use. As a producer the most important thing is the tone coming out of the speakers, glad to see them continually getting better!

Arturia are such a great company, updating Pigments for no extra cost, great products (I don't work for them!) and just being so helpful to it's customers. Thanks for your videos Venus Theory always really helpful too!

Mate, I could listen to you play with the augmented strings for hours. I started to shut my eyes, it was really nice!

Great work - again. I love your work on this channel. Thank you for this top notch review!

Love the V Collection. Love this channel!

You deserve to have 100 times the subscribers you have. Amazing work an all of the videos, I can only imagine how much work goes into them. P.S. Arturia V9 collection is an absolute MUST HAVE, I find it really challenging to work without it.

Great job on video! Your clear and concise presentation style made it easy to understand the latest features and updates in the V Collection. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the community!

That is the overview I was looking for. And great songs to preview instruments!

Hoped for some drum solutions with the new V collection, especially since they introduced Augmented Series into it. Something like a Spark 3 to tie the entire collection up.

Great stuff, great video. You sound like Amiga music modules from the 80ies and 90ies when you demonstrate the Ensoniq and the Yamaha . Really cool

I think the future is in modeling. Arturia, along with SWAM and Pianoteq make improvements in their modeling all the time, so when their new versions come out, their instruments sound even better. With samples, they take a lot of external SSD space, and longer to switch instrument; however, the modeled instruments do use processing power. It’s fun to see how much progression has happened even in the last couple of years. Thanks for the video.

New video, new sounds to explore. Thank you for the quality videos!

Beautiful demo projects! This made me decide to upgrade.

I love the New Arturia V collection 9. It's amazing! I've been using Arturia from day 1 of their first releases. It's improved an incredible amount over the years of updates. I highly recommend it to anyone into producing music. BTW, I enjoyed your demo... you play great! 👍 👍

Got 8 a few weeks ago, but not even close to used up...great video as always! And this together with Pigments and EFX Fragments are my fav among now 650 VST..

The filter on the MS-20 is the best filter I have heard on a plug in yet.

Great demo. Just added your music to my Apple Music Library. Keep it up!

Thanks broseph! I'm a hack of a musician, but I've been buying gear to have my band buddies over, and I got an Arturia with V Collection 8, just so folks can come over with minimal (or no) gear. The Arturia stuff sounds so damn good. I used to have a couple Fender Rhodes keyboards, and the subtleties of the sounds are really spot on. Love this stuff!!! And like you said, the cost per keyboard is crazy cool. Now I think I'll upgrade, just cuz.

Love the idea and spent more than I care now to admit on this collection and also have Analog Lab V and 2 Arturia keyboards so I love the idea of what they offer and I just want it to sound good! Rhetorical questions mostly, but just annoys me that it seems as if I am going to have to try something else besides my 3 computers that can’t produce any thing record worthy due to crazy latency and crackling. Definitely not here to hijack your solid presentation. any pointers, “non useless complaint blogs”, or straight forward check list to try in light of updates, Your tunes sound amazing, and I greatly appreciate your channel.

After spending a couple of years playing with various hardware and software synths, I’ve come to Respect the V Collection more. It’s a pretty damn good collection of software synths with an insane set of presets for getting things done. Edit: very nice musical demo. Showed this off quite well.

Great work as always ❤

Great vid, I'm looking forward to trying out the new sq-80 and cs80. Ive subscribed, great channel

Recently bought collection v on sale. Was ingoring that for a long time, because I tried demos several times on Version 4 and Version 6, but didn't like that back then. Pigments was more than enough to cover all that sonic territory. But. After I saw sale price for 99$ as Pigments user, it was hard to resist. Then I discovered the most powerful thing of Collection V is preset library. Sometimes while working on a project you understand that you need specific sound, like it happened to me with Lately Bass preset. I just opened Analog lab, found it, and continued working without stopping to design a sound. Also its nice to have such synths to fiddle with like Buchla Easel emulation or Modular V. When I want to play with some modular stuff, I just fire it up, poke virtual cables and have fun. Arturia did great job, that's for sure. One of the best companies out there 👌 I won't buy an upgrade now, because I still have a lot synths to explore. By that time it will probably get an update or will go in sale 😅

thank you ..amazing explanation/// you stuff is pretty dope //love and respect from Dubai

And I felt bummed when the NI store had this for £250 last month. I kept refreshing the store page for a week between KZfaq videos, back when it was V-8 collection. Then I decided I wanted it, right when the price went back up. Originally I decided against it, just so I wouldn't get lost and distracted with all the different instruments, but now... well, I can wait till next year's sale. I had the last minute change of mind when I just decided that the good folk at Arturia deserve money for their great work. Well done Arturia for another great update.

What a voice. This guy should get a radio show, preferably in the morning. Interesting video. Liked and subscribed.

Super demo of V9. Sounds great

Dude I am literally gonna ask this for my birthday because it is is just SO GOOD

Man, the demos are out of this world… really great stuff…

Not only a good demonstration but a sick jam as well!

Thank you for the video!!!

I just bought the update yesterday. It takes up a good bit more drive space, too! Great video as always, Cameron! Sadly…still no update to Spark (which I still use all the time).

You made some great music in this one!

Love it, what a great company! I have also the Matrix Brut. The Spark Drum Machine could be refreshed.

You make the best V Collection videos

I'm fully paid up. V9 probably worth it for the Aug strings alone, but I really want to support them so they keep making great tools.

As te owner of their KeyLab MK II and a few instruments, I just bought it for a ridiculous price of $149. Great collection and the great price! Respect.

Good info. Appreciate the vid.

Also Arturia added MPE support to Jupiter-8, Juno-6, Emulator II (also to Korg MS-20, Augmented series, and to both Prohets) - strange that they only mentioned about this in changelog. Becase it make Arturia's plugins even more interesting.

Still exploring my V Collection 8. I’ll wait it out. Appreciate your content nonetheless 🔥🔥

I wonder if they were to add 3 or 4 new synths for V-Collection 10, what those would be. Gr8 vid as always. It's nice to see them continually update their circuit emulations too.

Before I continue watching the video, your voice is amazing.

I didn't expect they will update Piano V2 to 3 and I agree with you yes it sounds not so much different..but it's like better than before , the ui update it's really cool and it was much appreciated by me tho ahahah

Got V-Collection 8 and the upgrade price is pretty good value considering the additional synths/updates. Really wish they'd go for the JX-8P next time around. PG-8X is wonderful but isn't too hot on the updates so won't be surprised if we start seeing compatibility issues with newer hardware/OSs. So glad I went for a Keylab for my first 25+ key MIDI controller as the integration with V-Collection & Analog Lab is wonderful. Sure it's not the same has having the physical synths in front of you, but it's a damn great workflow.

I also love ARTURIA's products, they really know how to make things familiar but innovating at the same time. I'm just a big fan since V Collection 4.

What do I think of the V collection? Having been a user for years, I've found that there's really a couple instruments that I can't do without but there's a lot of them I never use. And the same is true of the massive catalog of presets; I find a lot of them interesting but basically unusable in my context. That being said, the DX7, pigments, Solina, and OBX are essential to my live gear. Definitely they needed to update the Prophets! The Piano is getting better with every iteration and I've been using it more, but it's definitely a modelled vs sampled instrument, making it much lower in CPU demand but also a little less realistic. I really love the way that Arturia is bundling patch banks for tribute type artists and for specific genre's within V collection.

Great video. Thanks. Can't go wrong with the V Collection, it's wonderful, BUT I wish Arturia would think beyond the midi controller and make a keyboard that can be loaded up with the V Collection presets and played without a computer (an Analog Lab Keyboard if you like). Roland have now done this with with the release of the Jupiter X, Fantom etc. This is the future of software synth and hardware integration. Design your sounds on a computer -> load them on the keyboard -> leave your computer at home -> head to your gig!

I'm still on V Collection 7, pretty happy with it. I love Arturia, and obviously there's something here for everyone, but I can't say there's much enticing me to update to 9, other than maybe the MS-20. I also just bought a Komplete Kontrol S88 and upgraded to Komplete 13 (not ultimate) so... I probably shouldn't be spending money on softsynths for a minute...

This seems great and I'll definitely be upgrading but I was really hoping for an update to the Vocoder to allow for a user defined carrier signal. Imagine just using other instruments from the collection!!

Thank you very much man!!!!

Okay, that SQ80V demo was FIRE.

Love it

Thanks for the overview. Just started with some arturia stuff yesterday to supplement my Logic and other sounds. I like some of what I’ve heard on what I eventually downloaded and like some of the sounds here. It may have been excessively busy or something but the arturia downloads were some of the slowest I’ve ever come across and the largest pack had to be downloaded several times before it got through without download errors.

Been big fan of the "KORG Collection 3" for years. Last year took a chance on Arturia's V 9 collection half price Black Friday Sale. Was absolutely blown away at the quality and quantity of great sounding vintage Synths! Best music investment I've made in a long time. Life is good! Thanks for a great video, very informative, also got me playing around with the SQ80 V which I had not yet tried. So many great Synths, so little time!

Thoroughly fun✌️

Ha. Love the deadpan delivery. I see what you did there! 🙂

Used this collection in my latest house track. It's insane. 👍🔥

Arturia user since 2009. Nice full circle 😉

damn dude, my ms20 mini is literally right next to a stack of cassettes

I wish they added a good vst emulation of the odyssey. I love arturias gui and they keep getting better at emulation. I haven't been happy with the korg vsts of ms20 and odyssey I purchased a while back at all.

Nice overview. The thing you didn't mention (and, to be fair, Arturia are almost silent about it in their marketing blurb) is that all of the new synths and the updated synths now support MPE. So this update adds 7 new MPE instruments to the Arturia roster. Plus the MPE implementation here is really nice, making it super easy to assign different parameters to the different expressions in a unform fashion. Don't know why they aren't shouting that from the rooftops. Which is a pro in terms of considering the upgrade. Cons wise, not that fussed by the Augmented series, seem to be trying to cut in on the NI market, but just not quite up to par with NI hybrid romplers. Seems like an odd move from Arturia, rather than just getting on and modelling a couple more interesting synths, which is the brand here. None of the presets from the Cs80 v3 transfer to the V4, so it's very hard to A/B them, but most of the difference in sound and cpu hit seems to be coming from the new fx section, as far as I can see. A lot of the v4 presets are heaviy eq'd, chorused and lavished in reverb. So basically all the things you did to the v3 (and the original machine) to make it sound good. Not sold, especially as I'd have to recreate all my presets from scratch. The prophet Vector interface now shows you the waveforms, rather than just an opaque knob with numbers. That's why it feels much more accessible. Plus it's now MPE, which makes it an expressive monster. Same with the five. Good sounding prophet, great. Good sounding MPE Prophet, next level. You don't address the rationale of upgrading here, which is understandable as they give you the update for free. I agree v collection is a no brainer if you are buying it outright. Especially if you do it in one of the occasional half price sales. As to whether this upgrade is worth it, I'm firmly on the fence just now. The MPE stuff is tempting, but do I want to pay the same money again as I paid for the whole collection in the first place for two new synths and MPE upgrades to a handful of others... We'll see. I'll probably do what I always do, tinker with the demos for a couple of weeks and then impulse buy. Or wait until the next round of sales when they offer me the upgrade for 150 bucks. One way or another, there's an innevitability here. Arturia are, as you say, just one of the more interesting makers out there right now.

great video

The new synth added 2 days ago "Acid V" is really interesting, I did not expect that ❤

nice demo Cameron,not sold on those augmented instruments tough,like pigments they should'nt be in the V collection the v collection is/was all about retro synths,there are still a lot of them arturia could re-make those modern morphing instruments can be made with kontakt or even with the layer function in studio one

Was glad nine was doing better, you can imagine my surprise and dismay upon hearing the news about what happened with seven.

The Prophet VS song sounds like it belongs in risk of rain 2. (The highest compliment I’m allowed to give). Love the vids

I heard that joke like 10 years ago, and I am proud to say, I just got it, I'm rocking a whole brain for sure.

Dude, they absolutely should've paid you for that

Im curious to ask does the V collection have more presets from the instruments vs analog lab V or the only upside of having the V collection is getting access to tweaking and using the individual synths

Just upgraded from 7 to 9. I disagree with you on the Moog Modular as that's one of my favorites along with the Obx-a. Waiting for it all to download. I can't wait to dive in to the vocoder, augmented strings, and augmented voices.

This voice ;) and thanks for the overview!

Lovely little track at 4:20

Super rockin 😘😚👌👌💓💓

I love the v collection 8. Should stave off synth GAS for a few decades. 😁

What a deep voice!!!! Whaooooo 👍

I have always loved Oberheim stuff, mostly on account of Eddie Van Halen's influence on my musical path. I've grown quite fond of the CS-80, though. I know Roland has their own thing going on, but it would be nice if they would cooperate a bit with Arturia and get the D-50 in there.

Jesus christ what a voice!!! I think I enjoyed your speaking more than the synths

I'm rapidly becoming an Arturia enthusiast. I was planning on buying a Kawai MP-11SE digital piano, but they were not available, and will not be available until July 2023. After much investigation, consideration, trepidation and procrastination, I bought a Keylab88 mkii, rapidly followed by a minifuse 2. No regrets! I don't think I can resist the V collection 9.

Got into Boardsian territory with that prophet-5 demo

I generally like the V Collection. Not all of the synths are winners in my book, but it was a good grab (I have V7 plus some individual additions). I do wish the upgrade prices would also take into account whether or not you own some of their other products, their upgrade pricing can be a bit hit or miss. As for V9, I gave the newbies a test run and it has some entries I really like, but some of them I'm lukewarm on. Still not sure if I should go from V7 to V9 or not.

the best thing about v synth is that you can load it up as individual synths OR you can load it as a vst with instant dive into its millions of patches. the patch browsing itself is a joy to use with the rating feature and instant recall. arturia have really thought this through unlike roland cloud which is clunky and barely usable.

Are you going to review v collection x? Love this review

Well, I hope 9 continues to get better.

The update was worth it for me because they've started to add MPE to a bunch of these instruments. Not only the ones rewritten for 9 either, MPE has made it into Emulator II, wahey.

1:17 - Have you taken Kung Fu lessons/classes? This is a gesture of respect within that martial arts culture, which is why I ask. I took Wushu which - while I'd rather take Wing Chun or just about anything else for self-defense practicality - I could not understate just how much control it gave me over my body. Martial Arts are cool. Also, cool video of course. Still rocking V Collection 7 over here, which I got juuuust before 8 came out haha. At this point upgrading to the newest version is a waiting game for me, trying to justify the relationship between new features/instruments and the price (just like with Ableton 10, which I got just before 11 came out, although their update price feels particularly hefty to me). I have a hard time believing I'll ever not be excited about new Arturia software synths as they come out, they're great.

Ouch ! The upgrade price from V 8 !!! ... I'll wait 🙄 I LOVE Pigments and really like my V8 Collection. For CS-80 sounds my GoTo is still Arminator2 by Krakli ... P.S. Augmented Strings is Sweet, I can't lie.

Alpha Juno and PPG Wave would be good reasons for me to upgrade. Still undecided whether the MS-20 and the updated Prophet 5 and CS-80 justify going from V8 to V9.

This video is produced so well. Screaming without the s

Great channel. Keep it up! Question: is Sonicpass a viable alternative to V Collection or Kontakt? I like the idea of Sonicpass's combo of a very large samples library for quick workflow but with the power of Falcon for deep diving (putting aside the arguments over the value of subscriptions). Thanks!

I’ve had the V8 for less than a year. My issue is the Keylab Essential 61 has hanging notes. No firmware updates gave corrected this. Using my Roland RD700 NX this problem is not there. However I wanted to use the Arturia keyboard for the menu functions. Happy with the software, want to crap on the hardware! 😃

Hoping we get stuff like augmented brass, woodwinds, guitars and bass in the next update

Fizmo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We need a Fizmo! Good lord. I'm old enough to remember seeing those in music stores. It was sad to see Ensoniq gasping for breath like that, with a big ol' Emu pecking away at their heads. For reals, though, I would love an ASR-10 knockoff. You can argue that they cover that with the current Ensoniq options, but there was something very specific about that sampler that made it sound different. It was really that or the Akais back then for affordable 16 bit samplers, but the ASR had a) its own special kind of sample thunk that made it easier to mix and b) those amazing f/x built in. But the real one I would want is a Waldorf MicrowaveXT. There is no 'really old synth' I have thought so many times of buying the real thing, no matter the cost and all of the problems with reliability. And I owned a Prophet 10 at one point. But the MXT was one of those synths that couldn't make a boring sound. Sadly, a huge part of that was the knobterrific interface, which would be hard to do in software. But please, please, please Arturia. MicrowveXT!
