Arturia V Collection 3.0

[Michael Zacherl]

Hi Gert, Andy,
thanks for your thoughts!
I think I'll leave it.
It's a nice offer, the software is good and useful but I got so many other projects that I'm afraid that it just would sit on my laptop's harddisk unused.
I'm sure the next promo will come at some point!

If I wouldn't have any one of those packages, and (almost) no soft synths at all, I would go for this deal. Imagine all the fun you could have just by bringing a laptop and headphones :-)

After getting Diva though I have been going to that more over the minimoog, jupiter etc… The arp, modular, and CS-80 I think are bigger than just sound emulations, you can do interesting things with them that you can't do with other soft synths. I think the new 64 bit versions are faster, the interfaces used to get bogged down a bit with the animations and such. For me it's a no brainer to have them, as I like old sounds and it's very convienent to use them.
