Wow! Loved the beat and solo. The lead at 9:14 sounds beautiful! Excellent and informative video. Thank you, Jef.

I'm really excited about this update. Thanks for showing it off!

Omg I’m not the only Boards of Canada fan! Love it! Thanks for making the time in making all these videos Jef! Cheers from Miami FL

Thanks for always giving us indepth reviews. Very appreciated.

Thanks @Jef, always happy to hear from you

Got it! I'm loving these!

thank you for the great review Jeff. Awesome work from Arturia, Love everything about the brand. Cleanly developed & kinda moving in NI territories with Augmented instruments. I see plenty of future development in that direction. For me, I look around my studio and Arturia software + hardware kinda took over the last few months (V collection 9, Pigment, MicroFreak, KeyLab essential 49, Keystep 37, BSP which is amazing with MPC one). So much fun and easy on that MacBook pro. Amazing times for the music lovers. Thank you!

This whole collection is my Go-To now. Even though many are harder to create custom sounds with than, say, with Pigments, I find that each synth has such unique flavors and character. And it's hard to get into modern synths as much when compared to the insanity of synths like Buchla and such. All the new ones in V9 are my favorite synths ever (well, those guys, and then Buchla.)

Hi Jef, Thank You very Much for this very interesting tutorial / demo. Thank You to share your knowledge and experience with us. Best regards from Switzerland

Nice! Updating my bundle now!

Love your videos Jef you are the best!!

Thanks for sharing Jef!

Boards of Canada wow i had forgotten about them YES thanks for wearing that T shirt

Awesome monitor!

I like your honesty mate. So many YT's try to deny that the free software is a form of payment

Informative and like that link group tip

Just purchased, installing right now while watching this video 🙂

Upgraded to V9. No brainer!! Great Intro track.

Check out the after touch effects on the CS80V presets.... amazing! I actually received the CS80V through Steinberg and purchased V9 after.

I was planning to get output exhale, I have V8. Is augmented voices comparable to exhale? Or is exhale the better option?

I have the Korg MS-20 and a hardware Mini. The settings vs sounds have almost zero correlation. Any idea if this one does? My upgrade is pretty steep.

Awesome video I LIKE...Question how do make your laptop show that on the screen instead of showing what you are doing on your monitor?

How do I Sync my Arturia plugs in to Maschine hardware? Can you please make a Video .. showing how to set this up!

What happens if you load a project with the old prophet vs running (within the pro 5 plugin). Does the new standalone version somehow load instead?!

I like the new Augmented Strings and Voices additions. I have Analog Labs V so plan to try out the piano and see how it now compares against Pianoteq.

another great video. Hoping Arturia will release some more vintage / retro digital synths in the future. Even thou I like The Beast by UVI more than Arturia’s Synclavier because the Beast includes way more drum samples

The MS-20 is obviously the star here. I’ve got the Korg Collection, but I need the NKS ability. Guess I’m updating. Again…

Does anyone know: how do you start a 'new preset' i.e. a blank sheet with each instrument? I can only find "New Preset..." in the standalone version of Pigments but any instrument in Analog / V Collection 9 (including Pigments) doesn't have this option.

What kind of midi controller do you have that has the lights on it that you play on in this video?

The previous versions of the prophet I found to be a bit bland and lacklustre. The two new(separate) versions are on a whole new level now. Particularly the prophet-5 v has exceeded my expectations. Arturia have knocked it out of the park with this one. It has a much fatter, characterful sound which entices me to use it more. The MS-20 is no slouch either -and compared to Korg's own software version can hold it's own. The CS-80 also rocks compared to the previous version and sounds VERY much improved. The new strings and choir are a lot of fun to use but can hog the CPU if you are not carful or are using an old system. Overall Arturia have lifted the bar again I think. Highly recommended.

hi Jeff, was wondering what keyboard you have there on slides under your desk, the white one..?

Since Glen Darcey left to do the fantastic Hydrasynth V Collection has really lagged behind most of the other offerings. The controllers, pigments, brutes, audio fuses, and microfreak are all compelling in their marketspace. I usually skip upgrades (on 7 now), but between the modular rig, Komplete, and iPad offerings I will probably wait for 10.

The piano piece sounded like something out of Clint Mansell's pen, beautiful

I think i might wait until they get to Arturia 10. Not enough new to get me to upgrade. I own the SQ80 and the only synth i might like is the new korg MS20. I already have the IOS Korg version and the cherry audio version. Ill check out the Demo and compare but i just did a shootout with the new CA Memory Mode and Cherry Audio won hands down with their emulation over arturia. Native Instruments and GForce. Unfortunately Arturia isn’t my go to because of the COU hit in a lot of the synths.

veri naissss

I cant get mines to open up instrument on ableton 11. Can you help? Plus I cant get my analog lab 4 to open.

As always, great video Jef! Is it worth the $199 upgrade from 8? I am really not sure there is enough value there

great set of instruments. Get this, get NI komplete. And you are ready to rumble.. But secretly i was hoping they would be adding pigments to the V-collection

Great vid Jef! ROYGBIV =D

👍 merci…

Have they made any improvements to CPU usage for augmented strings cuz damn I’ve never had any instrument that is that heavy. I have an i9 and 64 gb of Ram and the best Samsung SSD on the market and it was still using 40-60% of my cpu with basically every patch

Can I use this on my ipad?

I wish Arturia will create an Emu SP12 VST

They have run out of keyboard companies willing to partner with them and really take us back to the old days. So now they are giving us new creations, but while I recognize value in that, it seems to me like they should maybe just hang it up. Would love to have virtual Kurzweil K250, Rhodes Chroma, and especially PPG 2.3 That would be more in the spirit of the original key collection series. The new additions were never hardware keyboards. Again, maybe they should just quit on the whole concept. They could still maybe do the Crumar GDS. That would be awesome.

Nice shirt!

Thanks for your videos Jef. I know this is off topic but your 4k monitor looks amazing and must be a real pleasure to work with. I'd love to get one but I'm wondering if you're aware of or have looked into the amount of radiation that comes off that screen and what the health implications might be?

Are you using a TV as a monitor? Is that practical? Cheers!

Great vidéo! "boards of canada" ;-)

Wondering why there are no Kurzweil emulations. K2000 is such a classic

My computer from the stone age falls down on its knees on a single instance of the Augmented Strings free on the buffer size of 64. lol

I have V7 and V8. Is V9 worth the upgrade?

I tried to find it. But the sites not working at all ??

I did a V8 update last night - and now I no longer have access to Prophet, CS 80 and Piano! Not cool at all.

🙂😷

arturia has the right to money that said, not sure if i'll be upgrading from V 8 since the upgrade price i'm getting is $199. the Korg is a nice addition, but already have the Cherry Audio PS-20

I'm still holding out...maybe 10

Not another one… my pockets are screaming

some call it V9 and some Vx..... kinda confusing to the beginner watchin the video.... also cud not find in Arturia where to download and buy it.......i know it all sounds wierd to the experts..... but if i ever become kinda expert....i will not forget the dodo beginners like myself...... nice video

I don't think I b diving into the Arturia ecosystem.....for now....I do have a DrumBrute and a drum impact and a micrfreak.....native Instruments is deep enough for me...for now

ORANGE! 😉

Arturias patch handling system is a complete nightmare. You may make an awesome patch but saving it and finding it again is way harder than you think. Definitively NOT made by or for musicians. An inspiration KILLER for sure.

NOT WORTH THE MONEY UPGRADING TO VERSION 9. THERE NOT GIVING YOU ENOUGH NEW KEYBOARDS

Never saw this better than Omnisphere or Kontakt. The Americans and the Germans have the better stuff here.

Sounds great, but I'm not liking the high pitched and thin high hat.

Their upgrade cost is ridiculous.

Hold up. Didn't they just drop 8 like a year ago. 🤔 This hurting the hobbits B account.🥺

I have V8 Collection and some additional synths. Arturia stuff IMO is mediocre at best. Usually acts as a place holder until replaced by better sounds. Tons of aliasing and generally weak 2D sounds Lots of fanboying on this stuff by people with low expectations. Better stuff ouf there if you can get past their marketing BS!

I find Arturia's stuff to be very unmusical compared to Cherry Audio, U-he and Plogue. Why is this? Why does their stuff just not inspire me? They sit on my computer and I just never get inspired by them. So frustrating.

Go ahead and buy it from Arturia, if you don't mind having money stolen from your bank account!!!
