arturia V-COLLECTION 3.0 - $300 clams - good deal?

Hey all. I'm sure there are more than a few that received the Arturi Newletter that if you own an Arturia product you get a $100 discount on heavily discounted synth packages. So thats 10 synths for 300 - 30 bucks a synth - not bad. Problem for me I guess is that I played with CS-80 and mini modular and the GUI's look like ancient to me - have arturia updated there GUI's and have the been devolving TAE or just making new products on top of the near 10 year code since they first came out? I'm real tempted....

I own 3 arturia products. I can upgrade for $199. Good deal but when i try to redeem my discount i get this: ***No reduction currently available, please see the coupon restrictions***
Has anyone successfully upgraded whith the coupon code?

I'm sorry I cant answer that question as yet. What I'm really interested is TAE. It was probably, to my ears, the best native Emulations available but its near 10 year code now. Maybe someone from Arturia could chime in here and let us know.

Thats strange indeed....i just used the code fine.
perhaps contact support...it takes a little while but once they pick up the request the support is actually very good.... i have found!

I was pretty shocked to see the offer ..and as i already own 5 of the synths my offer was a mere 99 euros to complete the set.....

Hans zimmer stated that he spent the same amount of time programming on the Modular plugin as he did the real thing...only the real thing always sounded more worthwhile and so he has abandoned the plugin....that's all well and good IF you're a German genius with the whole world at his feet ....i love Hans....MAKE NO MISTAKE.

Part of the reason i like these Synths is that they DO look and work roughly the same as the hardware...if that's old fashioned...then i'm old fashioned.

The prices have moved massively just recently over at Arturia....who knows why?
but for me it's a really great opportunity to own the whole collection thus far....a very good deal...and very unexpected.

I'm still on 10.6.8 on my Mac so who knows what this will mean...but for now i'm very happy with Arturia!

I think they're just trying to be competitive. Look at all the stuff you get in NI Komplete 8 for $499.
