Arturia V Collection: M1 support and performance update

[Guy Rowland]

V Collection 8.2 is out with the following improvements:

Apple M1 compatibility
V Collection’s instruments can now run smoothly with native support for Apple’s next-generation M1 processors, ensuring flawless performance on the latest macOS machines. Check out our FAQ for more info.


More microtuning
Clavinet V, Stage-73 V, Piano V, and DX7 V now feature microtuning thanks to compatibility with ODDSound’s MTS-ESP, a versatile microtuning software utility designed with the help of Aphex Twin.


GUI & animation upgrade
We’ve upgraded the visual performance of all V Collection instruments using the JUCE 6 framework, meaning our 4K interfaces respond quickly and smoothly, no matter how hard you push them.


Preset loading
Presets from V Collection instrument’s factory libraries now load up to 2 x faster, meaning quicker sound switching, easier project navigation, and a smoother creative flow.

Looks highly promising. Free update for v8 owners, and at time of typing there's a Black Friday sale on.

EDIT - looks like Pigments has M1 support also.

Also - anyone with earlier versions will hopefully find their products that are in v8 updated to the latest. (Can't confirm this, but this is how it's usually worked in the past - if anyone tries, let us know the outcome).

All working fine here - DX7 was the size of a battleship in Cubase on first launch across three whole windows, but I can confirm resize works just fine. All seems very slick and smooth.
