Arturia's FX Collection 6 adds two new effects and a $99 intro version

"Pitch Shifter-910 is based on the iconic Eventide H910 Harmonizer from 1974, an early digital pitchshifter and delay with a very unique character. Arturia does an admirable job preserving its glitchy quirks. Pitch Shifter-910 is not a transparent effect that lets you create natural-sounding harmonies with yourself. Instead, it relishes in its weirdness, delivering chipmunk vocals at the higher ranges. There is also a more modern mode that cleans up some artifacts while preserving what makes the 910 so special."

"EFX Ambient is the other new addition to Arturia's lineup, and it's a weird one. While it does what it says on the tin, it doesn't always do it in predictable ways. Sure, there's plenty of big ethereal reverbs and shimmer, but there's also resonators, glitch processing, and reverse delays. It has six distinct modes with unique characteristics, which it feeds through a big washy reverb. And there's an X/Y control in the middle for adding movement to your sound."

"Neither of the brand-new effects made the cut for the Intro version. FX Collection 6 Intro includes Efx Motions, Efx Fragments, Mix Drums, Tape Mello-Fi, Rev Plate-140, and Delay Tape-201. That offers excellent versatility covering delay, reverb, tape-like lo-fi, modulation, and even granular processing. Primarily, what you miss out on are some of the saturation and mixing effects like bus and compression, as well as the more specialty flavors of delay and reverb like Rev LX-24, based on the Lexicon 224 from 1978."

Arturia released FX Collection 6, adding two new plugins: Pitch Shifter-910 and EFX Ambient. Pitch Shifter-910 recreates the 1974 Eventide H910 Harmonizer, preserving glitchy quirks and producing pronounced artifacts and chipmunk-style pitches, with an optional modern mode that reduces artifacts. EFX Ambient focuses on large ethereal reverbs and shimmer combined with resonators, glitch processing, reverse delays, six distinct modes, a central X/Y movement control, and a washy reverb output. FX Collection 6 Intro includes six core effects for $99, while the full FX Collection Pro comprises 39 effects and costs $499; the two new plugins are not included in Intro.
