Hi guys,
thanks for your replies.
This makes the Pigments-Synth a considerable candidate to buy.
I wish Roland offered an option to just purchase any of their soft-synths outright, such as the D50. But sadly not. And frustratingly I doubt Roland will ever allow Arturia to sell a D50 emulation.
(Sorry for the off-topic conversation, OP)
No worries. I'm absolutely fine with that. You guys are very helpful.
Btw. there's a link to Rolands Soft-Synths, down below.
There's just one more question about your responses:Since I received an update of my "V-Collection 8" already a few weeks ago, I was missing i.e. the prophets and the CS-80.
When looking into my purchases within the Arturia Software Center, they do still exist there. But I can't reinstall them (At least there's process being started).
This is, why I brought up this whole thing:I'm in limbo over whether it is because they only use them within their "V-Collection 9" now or if this might be a bug.
I won't blame Arturia for denying the access to these synths, now.
Money doesn't grow on trees and they need to generate a steady flow of income. I think of the V-C as one way to do so.And (if it really works like this) I was naive enough to buy it and think to myself: "Well, at some point there won't be updates/ bug fixes/ newer synths. But I'll keep these and it's a good way to start with.".
And their advertisement and marketing made a pretty good impact. So, kudos for that.
There's just a bit of disappointment, because I bought the V-C 8 in December and didn't have too much time to try out everything and since I'm still pretty new to all this stuff, there's plenty to learn and get to know.
I hope, this doesn't sound too bad. I didn't really want to rant about it. It's just not helfpul.
I probably won't upgrade to V-C 9, since I'm still in the setup/ orientation (DAW, Synths, surroundings) and I couldn't take on the upgrade offer.
The collection itself (imho) is great, really. Especially to get a wide look onto the variety of synths and if one's in the flow to keep it.
I'll try to go for a few lifetime licenses. So I'll look for Pigments and other single synths.
Here's the link:

Kind regards,
