Now the same tuning support is in all the new instruments, too (including the reboot of the Piano V). (Of course, if you did get a new Apple machine and have something earlier than V-Collection 8, it’s a no-brainer.) Backward compatibility on both platforms is impressive – Windows 8.1+ for PC folks and macOS 13 High Sierra.Ĩ.2 also delivered tuning support for Clavinet V, Stage-73 V, Piano V, and DX7 V.

So this is really about whether the new instruments and rebuilds give you creative possibilities.

You don’t have to update to V-Collection 9 just to get support for Apple Silicon, by the way – that update came free in 8.2 to owners of that release. I’ll explain – as you do need to really dig in to appreciate why this is a bigger landmark than a typical year.Ĭompatibility. If I’m late in turning in my review, it’s that I found myself on some sonic reveries I didn’t expect with this one. This one goes somewhere new and dreamy – both with new instruments that aren’t remakes of old stuff, and some of the biggest advancements coming in the form of rebuilds for some of your favorites.Īnd I do mean dreamy. Arturia’s V-Collection 9 is more than just another “add some more instruments, update a few things” V-Collection refresh.
