So you're fine with paying the price, you just want other people to pay more!? I teach children.

I also love that in Analog lab, there's a visual indication on-screen where all the controls are for any given patch analogous to LED-ringed encoders. Also, I used to have an issue where the preset browser would crash in Logic when invoked as a plug in occasionally - I don't see that problem now. I have no horse in this race, but I personally couldn't be happier with such a great update at absolutely zero cost.Īnd in case others are still following this thread - all the standalone apps are about 20% larger (file size) and I swear I can hear a difference in V5 instruments after the update. The new update is great - I'm really liking all the improvements. If you still feel like you're missing something that the full version of V6 offers then spend the $150 if you want. Get a refund from Amazon on V5, and go buy V6 for $499.Įither way, this feels a bit like buying a 2017 model car at year end close-out and then expecting to get the 2018 model for free since you had no way of knowing one was in the works (ok, maybe that's a stretch).īut either way - Go install the update for V5 - You get all the new instruments in Analog Lab with hundreds of presets each, Analog Lab is all new, and every V5 instrument is updated and it's completely free for you. How was I supposed to know that what I was buying was anything other than a regular full retail copy of the software?So take it up with Amazon then - You don't have a legitimate gripe with Arturia. Again, no indication that the software was anything other than a fully licensed copy of the entire collection. When I installed and activated it on Arturia's website everything looked normal. Again, nothing to indicated any special promotion. When it arrived a couple of days later I received a full retail boxed copy, as expected. (Frankly, if it was listed at twice the price I wouldn't have considered it.) Several suppliers had it around the same price so as far as I'm concerned I simply paid the going rate. There was no mention of it being a special offer, half price or any other kind of promotion. I simply saw it on Amazon and paid the asking price. Where do you get the idea I paid half price?

Arturia v collection 5 will be 6
