You might want the latest version which includes these great synths. Version 7 just added Casio CZ, Mellotron, and EMS Synthi.

If I am correct, v.6 added the DX7 and Buchla music easel. Regarding buying version 5 from somebody in your town, what price is he asking? Will it include access to having your own account with Arturia so you get entitled to all the free updates? If you have any specific questions, I'll be glad to help. There's a long list of posts you can read from others on v.6 here:Īnd if you do a quick search on version 7 you will find some additional threads on the gearslutz site. If you wait until December, the collection should go on sale for ½ price, making it $250 for 24 synths.

Version 7 just added 3 new synth emulations to the Collection about 1 or 2 months ago, so now the collection contains 24 different synths. One big step forward, one half step back! But overall, an important improvement.ĮDIT: Another tempo-map discovery is that they have slightly improved the overall usability of selecting and editing tempo values.I bought into Arturia Collection V v.6 last December, 2018 and don't regret it at all. However, one downside is that the indicators in v4 now round down to ONE decimal place, so you have to click on the tempo point and then you'll see all 4 decimal places. However, now in v4, you can *manually* add tempo points with values that have up to 4 decimal places. Never made sense to me, and a real frustration. The actual tempo map supported up to 4 decimal places if you used the paint tool, but then if you needed to edit those values, it would round to two decimal places. It took a lot more finessing to make it work. This was very frustrating for film work because you couldn't have enough accuracy to hit a frame perfectly. In v3, when you manually enter tempo values in the tempo map, it would round to two decimal places. Just discovered that tempo maps are now more accurate! This is a great addition.
