To be clear, does one have to upgrade to V-Collection 4 in order to use the new ASC?
BTW: The Arturia website is getting hammered right now. Getting lots of "500 Internal Server Errors."
No, the ASC will take care of V3. You won't need V4, there are links to demo the new stuff.
Yeah, the website was all over the place today, what a shambles. It's back now with all the V4 blurb. Seems like I got on the Arturia bus at an interesting time, not the smoothest experience at all but at least I've most of the plugins working. Kinda laborious to install each one and the downloads are slow as treacle. It's taken a couple of hours to get this far. Spark is missing from the V3 collection in ASC, not sure why, I know they are swapping it in V4 for spark2, so much for upgrades being free. I'm not sure what the difference is though.
The new system is a big step forward though, moving to a new laptop will be much simpler. And quicker, assuming it'll be painless if restoring everything from Time Machine.
Btw I love the modulations section in the Jupiter-8, that is genius! Really great. :-)
