Woody! Although I miss your zany exuberant on camera presence, the tasty demos of Arturia recreated synths is some of your best work. For five years now you have been an inspiring force in my musical pursuits. I bought my first synth in 1973 from Tom Beckman. Mr. Roland USA to place atop my 1939 Hammond BV. I was music minister at a Friends/Quaker church in LA with a ppe organ and famous organist. Hammond and Fender.Rhodes Suitcase 88 gathering dust in garage out back- too heavy for a geezer. Presently two Rolands (RD 88, Juno DS6). two Yamahas (PSR 900 SX, CK61- both purchases largely inspired by you) and my aging but beloved Pa4X. The 4X is my main girl and the CK is on the tier above which also runs my iPad/Korg Module. On arrangers, I mostly only play with drums and sometimes bass. I like the ability to quickly split and layer voices. Now you see why I am such a Woody fanboy. PS) This is my second post in 2023-200% of 2022. Muchas Gracias from the sunny Sierra Mojave.
thanks for the comment, well, people sometimes telling me i talk to much and play too little, so these videos should restore the balance! nice setup you have going there!
I think its the best bundle in the business... and I have a few of these things in real life. If you can snag the V collection for a discount (they have a few sales from time to time) its a no brainer. I think I got mine for like $200.
that's a lot of bang for the buck yes, and they are fine quality and sound good. what i have found though, is that it is an awful lot of stuff to learn, because each synth is unique. so keep that in mind, any potential purchasers!
It's a good bundle for sure. I wish Arturia would add a light UI version for each of these synths. As it stands, if you're on a 5k monitor you might be staring down the barrel of 1.2gb of RAM usage per synth (120% scale). Makes it a bit of a bitter sweet thing if you're on Apple silicon macs like we are here because of Apple's price gouging on the RAM. ☹ Or even just objectively speaking. Over a gig of RAM per synth is not very user friendly.
@@irife2771 It's not a windows vs mac thing. It's just graphics bloat. What kind of resolutions do you have on your screen? It's the high resolution displays that will trigger this problem. Greater resolution = more pixles = more ram basically. It's a fairly linear equation. That their JUp8 plugin scale it on a 5k monitor, say 120-140% and see what you get. Probably over a gig.
Whilst not being my favourite analogue emulations, I do think that the Arturia V collections do offer incredible bang for your buck. I just wish they’d do a synth-only version alongside the main collection, because I’m not sure that someone wanting a Buchla Easel emulation is also always going in the market for Augmented Woodwinds and the like!
Shoot, I feel like I just paid for the update to v9 of this set. Between putting that money toward v10 of this collection or the same money to grab Avenger 2.0 while it's on sale... if I buy anything right now, it'll probably be Avenger 2.0. However, I must admit that I've never paid attention to the mini/micro freaks and what they can do. That's certainly some added value, but Avenger 2.0 has rather blown my mind today.
It depends. From a price point of view Arturia is very good. Only I would wait for 50% discount. With Korg there isn’t any overlap except the MS20 and in this case the Arturia version is clearly better. I have also the Korg collection but I bought it more for the digital synths (M1, wavestation, Triton) With Roland I think the versions from the Roland Cloud sound better but the Arturia UI is vastly superior. Plus, Roland is expensive.
@@WoodyPianoShack Ah I didn't appreciate how long ago you filmed this. So using NKS pre auto scripted knobs I presume then; I'm still not sure which way to go with controllers - NI with it's NKS, Novation FLKey for FLStudio connectivity or Arturia for V Collection integration.
how about because it was released as I was finishing the video! i was relieved they did not add any new analogs! don't sweat it, any difference between the versions is negligible, believe me.
@@WoodyPianoShack Disagree, personally there is stark difference in sound for sure, after A/Bing the two. They did a major overhaul, not just an 'update' as V3 presets won't even work on V4. Love the channel!

0:00 Thriller.
0:53 Adamski ft Seal - Killer (bassline)
1:45 Sounds like the chords from Baker Street (Gerry Rafferty)?
2:32 Level 42 - Leaving Me Now (one of my fav bands and songs of all time)
3:53 Jump, obviously. lol
4:37 ?
5:34 Funky Town
6:09 ?
7:00 ?
8:42 ?
9:49 ?
10:59 ?
hi, good start! yes, i made this video long ago, and vaguely remember that I may have sequenced some parts where I needed 3 hands :)
@@WoodyPianoShack haha. No probs, mate. ;)
8.42 is Voyage Voyage by Desirless I think.
My 2 cents..... 4:37 Fools Garden - Lemon Tree, 6:09 Herbie Hancock - Chameleon. Thanks a mill for the demo Woody. Cheers !!!
7:00 reminds some kind of games like final fantasy and also Enya's album Celts
incredible tone🔥
Amazing ♥♦♪

That drone at 4:00 seemed to go on forever and I didn't know if you were going to do it or not
But you did 😎
hard to know with me, most of the time it's happy accidents, sometimes tragedies :)

🧙🏻♂ That's what the Analog Lab is for. It gives you the sound of those classic synths with a reduced set of UI controls.
Lovely demo. Thank you! By the way: The original Roland Juno VST sounds more massiv. Own them both so I can say this.

I just wish they’d do a synth-only version alongside the main collection, because I’m not sure that someone wanting a Buchla Easel emulation is also always going in the market for Augmented Woodwinds and the like!
By the way, I think that Synthi V demo is the least “Woody” thing you’ve ever done!
Going fully Radiophonic Workshop! :)
agree on all your points mr unfinished. the bundle is a bizarre mix. i had no clue what to do with the stupid synthi tbh. :)
Just for info what are your favourites? Always open to good recommendations
@@WoodyPianoShackIt's one of those synths that requres a slight rewiring of your brain. You either get it or you don't. Personally I don't! :)
@@stevesargent8731For me, I think u-he, Softube and GForce are ahead of the game, in terms of sound quality, character and useability.
Caught what the CS-80 was playing 😁
at 2:34 it's Level 42 "Leaving Me Now"
love that ARP 2600

I hear this is a way good collection.
it's a great bundle, indeed
Is there anything particulary beneficial over these Arturia versions or the "OG"s from the Korg Collection or Roland Cloud?
well, with the two you mentioned, you'll only get Roly and Korg, so no prophets, oberheim etc
It depends. From a price point of view Arturia is very good. Only I would wait for 50% discount. With Korg there isn’t any overlap except the MS20 and in this case the Arturia version is clearly better.

@WoodyPianoShack @mudi2000a thank you for the info!
I recently got V-collection 9. Any ideas what's different or improved in 10?
Few extra instruments like tb-303, cp70, wurlitzer etc
i'll add to that list the virtual microfreak
@@WoodyPianoShack It's actually the Minifreak V, which is different (and means it's actually polyphonic vs paraphponic)!
was that vocoder bit kraftwerk by any chance?
Nice run-through but looks like the older version of the Minimoog here, which is a shame,as it's had a major overhaul.
it is indeed, but i wonder how major it can be, since the v1 was already 100%, according to arturia themselves!
Nice. What midi keyboard are you using with this Woody?
umm, i don't even remember, probably the new NI S49
@@WoodyPianoShack Ah I didn't appreciate how long ago you filmed this.
So using NKS pre auto scripted knobs I presume then; I'm still not sure which way to go with controllers - NI with it's NKS, Novation FLKey for FLStudio connectivity or Arturia for V Collection integration.
Welcome to aliasing hell.
oh really? interesting!!
Why put V Collection X in the title but not play the current version of the Minimoog emulation?
how about because it was released as I was finishing the video! i was relieved they did not add any new analogs! don't sweat it, any difference between the versions is negligible, believe me.
@@WoodyPianoShack you did not answer the question, but you made your motivation clear regardless
