'As we have modified in the V Collection 5 the sound engines of our software instruments the presets from the V Collection 4 were not compatible. I received an email from Arturia today that they have now released a Preset Updater function, which can be downloaded from their website.

#ARTURIA PRESET CONVERTER SCAN PATCH#

Ah, the wonders of FM!Īnyway, I moved on from this one patch and decided not to use it or tweak it, but it's annoying to realize that I won't be able to create or tweak new or existing presets in a project context and can only do so in a vacuum using the standalone mode of the VI. I was trying to figure out why one preset was out-of-tune, but I was at least able to open it in the standalone version and see that it isn't detuned even though it sounds like it. This is less convenient, but probably more performant in terms of rendering. In the new edition, the Arturia VI's show their parameter values at the very bottom of the GUI instead of next to the mouse. Why did they make it so tall, when the usable part of the GUI only takes up the middle third of the overall height, and the rest is blank black space? The standalone version is too tall as well, but just barely fits.

It's the same size as the standalone version, plus plug-in decorations at the top, which add another inch or so. The problem is that the GUI is WAY too tall for a 23' wide screen monitor. Unfortunately, Synclavier V is useless as a plug-in, unless sticking with stock presets and no tweaking. I haven't had time to fully explore it yet, and it is quite wide in its range of sounds, but I am finding that it can often be good to have one lead voice be a Synclavier when others are traditional subtractive synths or even FM, because it tends to sound thinner, dryer, and cut through for warmer contrast with existing parts vs. Synclavier V has now been used for three tracks, in place of other sound sources. I find this common with VI's and even sample libraries as they get better it's a side effect of improving the dynamic response and the naturalness of the articulations. Regardless of the emulation, ALL of the new versions seem more sensitive to sustain and resonance. I am finding the Arturia updates are indeed better for the most part sound-wise, but this isn't evident when re-tracking MIDI that was generated with the old versions plugged in. What I am doing instead, is painstakingly recreating the patches that I am using in current album work, to future-proof those projects and also because I am re-rendering after some cleanup of articulations etc. I cannot find any way to import those, or to export individual patches from the old GUI's to make them available to the new GUI's. Unfortunately, right before these updates, I had just bought two third-party sound banks from Le Lotus Bleu (for Jupiter) and VSP (for Prophet). I found a few more of the old presets today, hidden via renamings and recategorizations.
