@FloRi89 and @klownshed thanks so much for your thoughts on that. @Poppadocrock coming in hard on the desktop sales as well! Ace work!
No worries. I’ve not regretted buying V collection or fx collection despite having (nearly) all of IK’s stuff.
Arturia have demos available for all their plugins — they’re worth a test :-)
Does it also simultaneously mine Bitcoin?
Furthermore, you get their Analog Lab app, which comes with the pack, and it serves as a central hub for all their synths in the collection (and even pigments if you have it) so you can select and play any preset of any synth directly from there - a kind of one-stop shop mega synth 🙂. The upgrade process is also proper - nothing special but it just works which means it's miles ahead of the utter crap that IK offers.
Yea Analog Lab really is an amazing product, like 10/10. They also did stellar work with tagging and sorting the presets and after you found what you want you only need one click to go into the full version of the synth.
IK's Sampletank is kind of the same thing, but finding a specific sound isn't as easy as in Analog Lab in my opinion. Overall I use both, they server somewhat different purposes for me and even though there is some overlap, they fall in little bit different niches.
Also I just bought Komplete 13 for 250$, so maybe I just have a slight problem
Welcome to the club. Conservative prediction: you'll be on Ultimate within two promo cycles 😉🤷
One tip if I may, and if you are new to the Komplete Kontrol software: as a side bonus, it offers a rather nice way of marking and storing favourite presets for any NKS-compatible SW instrument whose developers were too lazy to offer this function themselves. 👍
Lol, yea that might happen. Yes, I already got that tip. I thought this was only if you had one of the keyboards, but it's a great piece of software on it's own.
That would be a great tip for IK, add a short sound snipplet to the preset browser, that would make it so much better.
Can I ask how you got it for $250? I guess an upgrade?
I’m kind of a noob on the desktop. Usually the V Collection costs 599, right. So isn’t 249 quite a good offer? Or can it go even lower? Compared to my iPad I have virtually have no synths on the desktop. I bought Synthmaster 2 and DRC and I have some freebies like Viking, Vital and Surge. Of course also all the stock instruments of Bitwig. Do you think it would fulfill all my synth needs to buy the V Collection? I’m a huge fan of the Mini Moog, Model D on the iPad.
That’s very hard to answer definitively but if you want quality you may prefer to get different plugins. For example, Softube Model 72 for a Minimoog is pretty damn fantastic (also The Legend and Monark) and for other classic sounds you might look at GForce OB-E (wow!).
On the other hand, I have them and I also have V Collection which I use more for the SQ-80, the Mellotron (you can load your own sounds in it), the Emulator, etc. The Jupiter is now pretty good, too. Depends what sounds you want to be using.
Back on quality, any of the U-He synths are just awesome but are not all recreations of anything. Diva and Repro 1 and 5 are but Zebra is very special if that’s your thing. And Hive, too.
More ‘modern’ things to spend your money on might be Pigments, Falcon, PhasePlant.
You may end up owning everything anyway so perhaps it’s more about where to start. Nothing wrong with that place being the V Collection - it’s just that there are better (as in, closer to the original) individual offerings IMO from other plugin developers.
These may help - Venus Theory has showcased all the keyboards and synths in V-Collection in 2 videos:
Also, the offer runs out on 4th April - I think the OP mentioned 14th...
For what you get, I would say yes, 250$ is already a good price for the V collection. I think you might be able to get it for 200$ if you have Analog Lab Lite, and that's not hard to get. I'm not sure though how much discount Analog Lab Lite gives this time around.
Personally I only had Analog Lab Lite and I payed 199$ on Black Friday:
Of course, I got it as a crossgrade from any Izotope advanced product from their current promotion. They are selling:
And if you let it stir in the cart for and browse around on the site, they might give you an additional 5%. The price is without tax though, and I wrote it wrong above, I payed 250€ not $ in the end, so roughly 280$. Still a good deal if you ask me, more then 50% off without owning any NI product before is good.
It depends where your priorities lie. If ultimate accuracy is important there are better alternatives to the Arturia prophet 5 and minimoog, but it’s really diminishing returns — Diva + RePro together cost more than the entire V collection at the sale price.
And the Arturia plugins are still good quality. The older ones aren’t up the standard of, say, RePro but not too far off and you still get a pretty close flavour of the original synth.
Also even the older plugins like the minimoog have updated scalable UIs and are apple silicon native. Updates to apple silicon native were free —all 28 plugins updated. So whilst they might have older DSP engines they still operate as modern plugins so you don’t need to worry so much about them breaking with the next OS release. You’re still getting up to date releases in terms of support.
From my reasonably limited time as an Arturia software customer the service seems to be very good. The older plugins will probably get updates that make them better still and Arturia offer really good ‘loyalty’ discounts from time to time — i got the entire Fx collection 2 and the new (and pretty fantastic) elements fx for €119/£100. And it’s really, really good. Probably even better overall quality than the V collection, most of the plugins are right up there with the very best.
The newest V collection instruments — Vocoder, Jupiter, Juno, OBXa, EII etc — are also pretty great and right up there with the best in class. I think The V collection is worth it just for those.
So TLDR. It’s not just a case of quality over quantity. Sure the older plugins have been surpassed sonically, but the newer ones are right up there and Arturia are on a bit of a roll with the quality of their recent releases. You’re not just getting a load of crap old plugins bundled together.
Apparently it's 149 if you have Pigments... which you could buy from somebody for £100 👀
@PeteSasqwax 😍 Now that's a cool deal. Getting Pigments second hand and then the V Collection deal for 149. Same price but Pigments on top. I'm sold. Thank you!!!
Update: Just bought pigments 3 on knobcloud for 70 - even better 😀

Last year, Arturia offered me Pigments at half price because I owned a Microfreak. And now they offered me the V Collection at a price that was practically giving it away. After selling some of my plasma, I purchased it. It’s amazing for the price. I wish Reason Studios would take note and reward existing, loyal customers the same way (grumble, grumble). But Krassman or anyone else that is on the fence, just get it. The only complaint you will have is that its too much stuff and almost 12000 presets and 30 synths can be overwhelming. Just go through each plug in and your brain will start making mole hills out of the mountain. One more thing is that the sample based instruments, fairlight, emu, mellotron, allow you to load and edit your own samples. Amazing.
Sadly $599 AUD is the best they can do for me. Does the Izotope stuff automatically show in your NI account?
Ok I went and logged in to my Izotope account and $400 AUD is my best offer. Tempting but luckily I'm broke enough to not be tempted
Pigments is amazingly good, you did well!
Result! 😎
I can second this, Arturia is really decent with its existing customers. As a result, I ended up spending with them the money that UVI did not get from me because of their "no-trial, no-refund" FU policy. 🤷
(Off-topic, Output is another company that comes to mind which also does reward loyalty quite generously.)
According to Google $400 AUD is roughly 270€, so should be the same deal. What Izotope products do you own?
Buy or upgrade to Bitwig 4 and get XLN audio XO for free:
You can upgrade from the 8-track version for €359. which is available free from Computer Music recently (you should be able to redeem it still I think if you get a copy of the digital magazine) or buy anything from pluginboutique and get it free there.
The upgrade from 8-track to Studio with free XO is £289 at pluginboutique.
You can also get the 8-Track for free with any purchase on PB right now, so instead of CM you can also just buy a 5$ plugin, because I think there is no lower limit unless that it has to be a payed purchase.
Yes it must be I think. 299USD. I own Breaktweaker and Iris 2 and Ozone Elements although not sure I paid for the last? I think I paid about $20 all up for BT and Iris.
Just had a look at Knobcloud for the first time. The only principal reason I was interested in Komplete was for the Session Guitarists and even then only really the Strummer Acoustic. I see it on Knobcloud for €45. Does anyone know if there a cost to transfer the license into my name at NI?
Silo is on sale for $29,99 with code SILO-2999

Expires on Sunday 28th. Just in time for (UK) Mother’s Day.
These devs have made buying their plugins into a game. Surely nobody ever pays full price.
I don’t think it’s even possible to buy a Cherry audio plugin for the list price!
