Arturia's huge collection gets bigger... Minifreak V included! 

Heads up, Pigments is NOT included in this version... my mistake to those who saw the early version of this video!

I love how MiniFreak is basically becoming a hardware Serum. I want to get a MiniFreak at some point but I’ll still have fun playing with MiniFreak V for now.

Whenever a new interesting plugin comes out I always come to your place and I'm never disappointed. You always have the most concise, well presented descriptions of products. Thank you

Im happy with this update and, as always, solid review

Fantastic overview as ever, really appreciate all your content Jef :)

Great video Jef, I'm def gonna update my V Collection

Love your t-shirt! 💪💪💪💪

Dig the track you made with this collection!

Thanks for the video Jef. I was initially going to pass since I've only had 9 for a year, but mini freak, acid and a few others for an upgrade price is hard to pass up - and I already have Pigments.

Very overpriced upgrade pricing considering the marginal updates and lack of new instruments. I already own the Minifreak VST and Pigments (which I don't think is included in V Collection X) as well. A shame because Arturia used to give very good upgrade pricing to existing customers who had made several purchases.

I was happily surprised to see Arturia take into account things we buy between releases of V Collection. I have 9 and bought Acid V earlier this year - the upgrade price I see reflects what I already paid for Acid V. This is something Native Instruments really need to learn so I’m not paying twice for things between releases of Komplete. Not sure how many times I’ve bought Playbox 😂 Btw beware when using the KK software and browsing presets - sometimes the numbers of presets don’t add up - especially with Pigments. I got in touch with Arturia and they realized they stopped adding NKS presets at v3.0, so 3.5 and 4.0 presets are missing. I have a KK mkII but if I can, I run everything standalone.

Hey guys, If you already own 9 you just pay the upgrade price if you buy directly from Arturia. Log in and watch the price drop. Just a tip

be nice if they made some kind of layer designer plugin for the collection.

V-collection used to have the Spark drum machine included. I don’t know why it is no longer included but I still have it installed. I don’t think it’s updated anymore…

I skipped VC8 and VC9, but will get this. The additions from all 3 put together to me make it worth the price.

😻

Excellent video, but I have to ask you what happened to the Osmose 😎?

Jef: Drum sound in V-Collection.... Arturia:...why does he do that? We're now compelled to add it now.

Hi Jeff. How are you? Long time, no see. Lol. Question: Are there any libraries that have great harmonica sample libraries? Other question... if you have neither, which is a better buy... Native Instruments Komplete/ultimate, or the Arturia V collection?i am learning mpc live 2, reason studios 12 and Fl studios 21 or 22.i haven't stated Fl studios yet though. Thank you. Is native instruments still half off? Since so many people have used those sounds does that make it a bad choice and investment of funds? Thank you.

Forgive the highjack, but I for one would love to hear your opinions on the new MacBook you have there. I’ve looked at many reviews but they all just run a bunch of test programs.

Arturia Spark is a good Drumplugin.

I would love to see Arturia allow you to import your samples into the MINIFREAK hardware

So a few things ... - I too use Analog Lab as an audition of sorts if I don't have a particular synth in mind or I want to know what is available in a general category. If I know I want to use that specific synth, I go directly there. - Time was that Arturia had Spark, which was both a controller and virtual software specific for synthesized drums. They have discontinued this years ago. I could see Arturia doing something like AUGMENTED PERCUSSION or perhaps AUGMENTED DRUMS where you can go either acoustic or electric or the blend of the two. This is if they want to go into Roland or XLN Audio or the like territory. - I've used Arturia's stuff since 2009 and you really are spoiled for choice when it comes to instruments.

I suspected they would do more Play Series things, ehrm I mean Augmented Series. Too easy to drop in samples and slap on a different UI picture vs building a new synth. They still could do Roland JX, Crumar Bit99, Ensoniq Mirage. Maybe V Collection XI?

I have 9 and I noticed that a lot of the existing plugins were updated to V. I would like to know what they added to especially the OP-Xa which is my fave and the others of course.

Is pigments actually included? I don’t see it listed on the webpage

You have your Wet Bandit T-shirt on so you know it's serious ;) =]

MiniFreak lacks of the MicroFreak's "keyboard"! Why they've didn't made two versions? "Buchla keys" could use the same parts of the "normal keys" version minus these keys and plus it's "PCB keybed" including the amazing "pressure" feature that isn't in "normal keys".

There is no special upgrade price available for V9 Collection owners. WTF?

Howcome microfreak is better equipped than minifreak with sample oscillator, wavetable import and so on? A cheaper synth with more possibilities. Interesting.

Installed my arturia plugins and found about half of them do not work on my MacBook Pro M3 Pro running Sonoma. Dissapointing......hope they fix it soon....

Paid 75 for 8 to 9 and its 200 for 9 to 10😢

I refuse to make this nonsensical upgrade. I love arturia but hell no. I just purchased the minifreak and fuse 4. I own alot of Arturia vsts too and then u have the nerve to ask 199$ for a few instruments upgrade. This is an Arturia scam. No disrespect. I refuse this upgrade. I will wait for 2024 xmas for another upgrade.
