I looked at this yesterday. Was quite excited that something new was coming, but after playing with the JP I felt it wasn’t worth the upgrade from X to 11. If it was £50 for the JP I would get that, just to have the complete set. I love how it sounds but wouldn’t have much call for it.
Ill keep an eye on the sales later in the year.
The JP8000 looks interesting. What confuses me: there’s already a SEM V2 in V-collection X, and now we can get SEM V as a new model?
Currently away from my music Macs, cannot check…
I upgraded yesterday, but from 9. I never felt that upgrading from 9 to X was worth the price but the jump to 11 makes a little more sense.

I’m also using Arturia V Collection 9, but i’m still hesitating wether to update or not…
Do you think t’s worth the money?
I also tested the new Jupiter, sounds good, but 299 EUR for the upgrade to get this an another cp-80 and Elka?
I’m already on X, so currently 199,- for an upgrade. For me it’s about the JP8000. CP-80 is already there, and Elka is in the Cherryaudio offering.
Meanwhile a lot of overlapping between Arturia and Cherry (and more candidates like UVI), and some really missing synths besides the offering from Roland with the Rolandcloud pain (e.g. JX-8P/SuperJX, XV5080, D50 would be interesting)
If it wasn’t for the fact that I got the Elka VST free with X last year, I think it might be worth the upgrade price now, 2 new synths, overall its good value, but as I have that, and dont use any of the Augmented stuff there is only real one instrument that id get.
I’ll wait for that to go on sale and get it. Im not sure the band will be into us doing a load of 90’s Rave/Club songs anyway lol.
Had it been a D-50 or XV5080 as mentioned above…take my money and goodbye Roland Cloud.

Yes, it is a complete overhaul and is regarded as a new instrument, not just an update. Arturia does this regularly with their oldest emulations, like the Synclavier, CS80, Minimoog and others as well.
yes, but… in the past the just added a new Version number like Jup V4 etc.

Exactly what I thought. They are advertising it as a new VST called SEM, when it’s actually labelled V3. I get it’s a rebuild, but it’s a bit odd they aren’t just saying this in their promotion.
I agree, it’s a bit confusing.
With the Synclavier the update from v1 to V2 was free, because they only added some features, like sample support.
The Jupiter 8, the CS80 and the Mini(moog) were completely rebuilt and not free updates. With those the presets or patches weren’t compatible anymore between the different versions.
Now with the Augmented series the update from v1 to V2 again is free. I can update without V Collection 11.
And in Analog Lab, after updating I find presets for the Jup 8000, Minibrut, Synthx, but not for the Poly Lofi…
Go figure.
Btw, my upgrade offer is 149,- EUR. I have X and the FX5 bundle.
Interesting, I also have X and FX5 and my offer is currently 199,- EUR 
I also had several versions befor these
I forgot to mention, I also have Pigments. Maybe that’s the reason for the different upgrade price.
no, I have pigments as well. I also own a Keylab 61 mkII 
That’s strange. Are you located in Germany, like me?
I just checked again to make sure. When I am logged in to my Arturia account, the price for V Collection 11 Pro is 149,- , but for the new V Collection Intro it is 199,-…
Yes, also in Germany. Intro is also on 199,-. My “special offer” to upgrade is 199,-
V Collection Intro is a new collection, it’s not an upgrade, therefore its full price.
That’s how I see it anyway.
Yes, I guess it doesn’t make a lot of sense to offer the Intro Collection to former V Collections owners.
I got the same offer … 149eur for the Pro version upgraded from X and the FX bundle.
FYI, you have to login to see your special upgrade price.
