I only own Pigments and i got FX collection 5 for €99. Unbelievable, im so excited to use it all!!

[@razorgarf]

deal of the year

[@Cefshah]

Great video again, Alex!! 🙂💛

[@AlexReidStudios]

Thank you!

[@DerekPower]

My offer was $49. That was because I already got EFX Motions and EFX Refract, which was offered for free back in December. Basically, the more new plugins you get when they become available, the lower the crossgrade offer will be when it comes to it. It's the same deal for the V Collection ones. Whereas, I find that when Cherry Audio does their yearly "Synth Collection", that's when you get more "bang for the buck" on the upgrade offer if you are willing to wait for it. At this point, if you like using the Arturia ecosystem, it's worth keeping it up. Otherwise, whatever you have should work fine.

[@AlexReidStudios]

Completely agree! Arturia's business model is all about already users

[@Orangebritches]

I’ve been wanting Motions but I held off so I could get it in this update ($49 upgrade price for me too). I’m doing the same with Minibrute V and the next V collection, but I did grab Augmented Yangtze on intro pricing.

[@visual_chris]

Exactly the same thing for me, a bit sad that it’s only two more new effects but for 49 I can’t get mad at them

[@Emily_M81]

I look at it like I'm basically just paying for the next collection in installments before they finally drop it.

[@MrBrownAlliance]

not the best upgrade on this one... €49 or me is not worth it this time, sorry Arturia.

[@TeslaOsiris]

I have FX 3…upgrading is only $99 and I use Arturia stuff frequently, so I’ll upgrade. If you have FX 4, I’d wait until FX 6.

[@AlexReidStudios]

That's a good path too, getting even more plugins by upgrading

[@mudi2000a]

But if you have 4 it’s only 49 bucks. Not 99. Or it’s a combined discount for me because I also have V collection (not the latest however) and Pigments.

[@user-je1kn8xi6s]

I'm thinking about getting this collection. I have about 3 or 4 of their plug-ins I got when they were free. My price for V5 is $149, which seems like a good deal.

[@AlexReidStudios]

If you find many of the plugins interesting and fun, I'd say go for it

[@daviHuggMonster]

I upgraded. But in future will do the same on V Collection and wait on the bundle upgrades instead of buying new releases directly

[@AlexReidStudios]

The individual releases are great, but being patient pays off :)

[@PandoraExplorer57]

Hmm my crossgrade price is like 199$... But Dist Tube Culture is on my wishlist.. Will definitely get that as I don't have a dedicated "saturator" in FL ig... Great video as always Alex and excited fr the new music 👀🔥

[@AlexReidStudios]

Test other of the plugins to see if you get the whole bundle :). More of that new song on the next video!

[@Cysubtor_8vb]

I'd have to see what discount I 'd get since have a bunch of their Fx already, but, that being said, I already have the ones I'm interested in along with the previously free ones.

[@AlexReidStudios]

The best way is to demo them. I like the new additions. Dunno if I will use a different limiter than my trusty one, but Bus Exciter is pretty good

[@buckycore]

Huh. I didn't realize that Motion was actually combining SugarBytes things and Infiltrator. WOW..now I'm sold!!!

[@AlexReidStudios]

It's pretty deep and worth on it's own

[@Alckemy]

Dist tube alone is worth the buy

[@AlexReidStudios]

100%, it's a beast of a distortion

[@woeye3251]

I had the previous version and experienced some effects to crash frequently on my M1. Both Ableton and Logic. No updates for some time. So I am not too sure about upgrading.

[@AlexReidStudios]

That's a shame. I personally use Windows but I always see people with issues on different OS, with many plugins, not only Arturia

[@TravoneLogan]

My cross grade price is $50 as the two new bus ones are the only ones I don't have. Kind of a no brainer.

[@AlexReidStudios]

The exciter is pretty dope

[@mudi2000a]

If you have FX Collection 4 and the EFX Refract then there are only 3 new effects and the price is €49. It might be possible that in the future it could be even cheaper. But on the other hand maybe efx motion alone is worth 49€ (I don’t have shaperbox or similar)

[@AlexReidStudios]

I believe is worth it, it's a great alternstive to shaperbox and other similar plugins

[@DerekPower]

I think Motions was already released on its own. Now it's just a part of FX5. But still =]

[@mudi2000a]

@@DerekPower yes correct but if you don’t have it already then it’s “new”. In general I wouldn’t buy Arturia stuff outside of a collection(except Pigments which is separate anyway) unless you want to buy only 1 or 2. I think the best strategy is eg. to buy Pigments on sale and then you should also get a discount on the collections.

[@DerekPower]

@@mudi2000a I only brought it up because I think that you got it for 49 was because you got what was already released but yet associated with a collection. This is also because I heard responses that people's crossgrade offers for the V-Collection were "unreasonable" and it was most likely because 1) they didn't get the "newer" stuff when it came out and 2) they were thinking that Pigments should have played a role in the crossgrade price.

[@MadelnMachines]

200 euros isn’t bad for 35 plugins. I was thinking of getting the v4 for a similar price before this came out. Do I need them. I’m not sure. I have soundtoys, Ableton Suite a few free ones and a few UA.

[@AlexReidStudios]

Try thebones you are more interested in and see if they sum $200 or more for you. That way you will be paying for the ones you would use plus many extras.

[@HarryFisherIII]

Just upgraded for $49

[@andreas-franke]

I paid 49 € for the upgrade from FX4

[@AlexReidStudios]

That's a nice deal

[@freshkidblaze]

My offer is $99, but I doubt I'll install every effect.

[@AlexReidStudios]

My way to see it is by checking which effects would you actually use, and see if that's worth the $99

[@GillamtheGreatest]

arturia stuff is on my "maybe someday" list. maybe i just gotta actually start doing videos instead of talking about it so i can sweet talk them into it

[@AlexReidStudios]

Lol, still I'm sure the gear you already have is excellent

[@GillamtheGreatest]

@@AlexReidStudios i do have some excellent gear but i dont have AAAALLL the gear or software. surely thats what i really need

[@onaucc9899]

I got it fo 99€ without owning any FX collection before (but many Synths, including hardware). I've spent way more on way less useful stuff, lol.

[@AlexReidStudios]

Haha I know that feel, glad you are happy with the bundle :)

[@1Redsaphir1]

I have FX collection for 99 EURO, which is absolute steal lol (I have V Collection).

[@AlexReidStudios]

You didn't had any effect before? That's a huge deal!

[@1Redsaphir1]

@@AlexReidStudios no, but I have V Collection and bought some packs in sale. I wanted to buy FX4 when it was like 250. Glad I waited lol 🤣 already bought it.

[@VinnyVinVince]

Which fx collection did you get for 99 euro

[@1Redsaphir1]

@@VinnyVinVince fx5

[@aro7975]

They release FX collection way too often

[@AlexReidStudios]

Once a year is not too often imo, considering in the meantime they already released two effects that are now part of the bundle

[@eren3390]

not worth it, still using fx collection 2

[@AlexReidStudios]

Fair enough :)

[@jaderington]

I'm boycotting Arturia for not sorting out why the preset pack won't download. Rather than sort it out they just let me go the loser of the money that I paid them in good faith. Loads of these plug-in manager apps are rubbish like in~music Air plug-in. Safety for them but not for us the end user that pay for our kit

[@AlexReidStudios]

that's a shame, I hope you can get your issues resolved

[@jaderington]

​@@AlexReidStudios Thanks, but I doubt it. They can see how much Arturia stuff that I have already bought off them over these past couple of years..... Thanks for your Bitwig videos too.

[@widedogg]

obviously I have no idea what your specific problem is @jaderington but I had endless problems with installers and it turned out powershell wasn't in my PATH.

[@jaderington]

So what is power shell ? I'm not a nooby nerd by far. I thought it might be my download folder being move as I filled up my system drive. So I put a clone 2tb system drive in and set al my NI , UVI , Arturia, back to default paths. Thing is that only some Arturia sound banks download correctly and other stop just before completion. It leaves a file in my download folder but it not useable by any app. I have a lot of software all working properly it's only Arturia that does not. It gives me download error when I update V collection 9 & analogue labs. I have to keep restarting the download manager over and over until its finished. Do you know anything about his stuff ? : )

[@widedogg]

​@@jaderingtonif you're on windows powershell is a version of the command line interface. it meant installs would fail at the point of install which could be the problem you're having. instead of writing out shoddy instructions I would just Google 'add powershell to PATH' and check if it's there. if it's not you might have your problems solved but I can't promise anything! i spent a long time with customer services until I figured out this was the issue, it was breaking all installer applications. only other thing I can think is the app doesn't have permission to run the actual installations. good luck!

[@deareeMusic]

Realistally most of of the efx sound like farts

[@AlexReidStudios]

Dunno what type of farts have you heard... In all seriousness it's good, it's about taste at the end

[@deareeMusic]

@@AlexReidStudios magic farts 🙂

What are you on about?

@@juicythedj750 A dishonest company that presents one amount at the checkout (and on the electronic receipt), and then tries to intentionally withdraw THREE TIMES that amount from the customers bank account!!! That is card fraud, to what my bank agrees. Do you trust a company that behaves like that? Then you deserve to be scammed.
