    does the discount apply to educators as well as students? If one already ownes the cube can the discount be used on only the performance set?

    Wow, great!
    Is there any possibility to get a discount going from Opus1 to First (student) edition?


    Just a quick bump.

    The discounts applys to the Complete Orchestral Package only, and for students only, not for educational institutions or teachers.

    Hm... Can I sell then my Opus1 to fund the money for buying First student edition?

    Herb, could you please tell us if this is actually including the Horizon or if there is a special discount for Opus users? It may very well change the balance between getting VSL or other samples for budget reasons... as a student I am, those are awesome news!

    Thks,

    Regards,

    Just a personal observation -

    Few college students will be able to afford even $1800 on the library (some certainly will - I know students with $10k violas, but it's rare). A much more reasonable alternative for most would be a 50% discount on Opus 1. I hope you'll consider offering that option soon.

    It's "qualified" students, not only college students... if not correct me... of course college students are not paying this huge amount... they probably don't buy any sample library... I was thinking more of superior schools of music students who already do some composition, and my question was oriented to Horizon products too, which includes of course Opus [;)]

    So, any clue on this?

    Regards,

    Hello Iván,

    this 50% discount doesn't include the Horizon Series, it applies to the First Edition Complete Orchestral Package exclusively.

    So, can I sell my Opus1 when I buy student first edition?

    I only wish I could have gotten the discount when I bought the library. Boo-Hoo [:(]. I am poor.

    I'm sorry, there are no additions to my previous announcement. The offer is valid for the Complete Orchestral Package of the FIRST EDITION only.

    They check your student ID or you have to give other proof of enrollment like a registration form.

    Hi, Sabine, can you or anyone tell me if the first edition offered as a discount is also including the first edition's performance set?

    Thks,

    Iván

    ... I forgot to ask too... can the discount also be applied only to the 1st ed performance set? Since I own Opus 1, I also own most of the samples, though not cromatically sampled... and my budget is getting too tight [;)]

    Thks again,

    Iván.

    Iván,
    the offer refers to the First Edition COMPLETE ORCHESTRAL PACKAGE (which includes the Performance Set) only.
    all the best,

    Maybe I'm just too excited to see straight, but I did not see this question answered. I am very interested, as I just bought Opus 1 this past August due mainly to the fact that illo told me that "we do offer student pricing on our sample packages, and thats why we created Opus 1 for this market. Check with local music stores to see if they offer any discounts" to which I went ahead and bought Opus 1 from Alexander University Inc.

    You can see why my heart broke when I saw this deal, for I JUST purchased Opus 1 two months ago, and had I known, would have instead held off for this student first promotion.

    Thus I'm wondering, is there anyway to upgrade into this deal from Opus 1? Does your VIP policy of "not paying for the same samples twice" apply in this situation, as the price of Opus 1 DOES already apply to a normal upgrade to First Edition?

    Thank you in advance for your understanding and reply. Even though I'm a new user, I LOVE VSL and hope to be a continued proud promoter of your sample packages at CSUN, especially this wonderful "student first" deal! [:D]
