Arturia Modeling collection 8 -- really cheap?

Anyone know if this is legit?

Looks not very serious: “Download code sent in”…

Arturia’s V collection is typically installed by the Arturia Software Center, therefore you need a license (which is also offered as V Collection X on the same page and marked as “V Collection X license”).

Also keep in mind, that V8 provides only 30 - the current V X 39 models - some of them in an upgraded version V8 does not provide!

If it’s cracked software, I would run away.

If it is legit (even though V8) it’s a great option, IMHO.

Thats nonsense.
I’ve recently brought 3 Arturia soft synths from an on line retailer (Gear for music) and they send you a code. You then register the software on Arturia website.
You download the software using ASC and then activate the VST when you first run it.

The link posted is from a legit website.

I‘m absolutely aware that retailers like Gear4Music, Thomann etc. sell licenses/codes. But typically not old/outdated versions. Same for other companies which offer discounts via plugin boutique & co.

Just sayin that it looks not serious to me.

I was just pointing out that ‘download code sent……’ is the standard way of doing things.
Saying that, when this was posted on FB earlier today i did also question if it was legit, but other than the ‘within a day or two’ i felt it looked genuine.

A bit of Googling and it seems this is only valid for customers in the USA and Canada. Looks like it’s been going for a while though, so not a new deal.

It is indeed legit. I’ve seen it before not only on ProAudioStar and but also other vendor. I think Arturia is expecting buyers of this old version to upgrade. I started with V6, 7, and now 9. Each time, the upgrade was $100 when it was on special sale.

I just tried to buy this. I couldn’t add it to my basket and using PayPal i was blocked.

Using a VPM got me as far as getting it in the basket but my payment methods don’t work.
Im in the UK. Guess it really is just for USA/Canada. Shame they cant be bothered to advertise this clearly.
