  • OK i was going to stay silent. But this is getting to be to much. All i hear is why cant i have this, or why cant i get this. Man come on look at it in a big picture. Either you would have to pay for it out right full price. Or just get packages you never had and more. You would just have to wait a little longer to get that package. I'm not trying to start a earth quake, but look at it in the long run. You might get stuff you didn't have and find new ways to add it to your master peace. And there other who have a chance to get what you had all along and enjoy too. Yes i know some stuff is already what you have. But if you could afford those them. then this should be chump change. I dont work for them, i just know I alway come to vsl and read these post of what you guys talk about and wish i had what you had. No matter what I don't think this is the end, i think this is the start of something big VSL has up there sleeve. Come on let make some music. And too I know you guys are working hard. Why dont we have a place where we can hear more work from VSL user. I writing this with a smile. And left over honey baked ham sandwish. Cya

  • I agree CplusE.

    VSL lads this is F'ing brilliant!

    downloading can be very expensive - for instance - I am on a wireless download here in Australia - 3gig a month costs me $150, or 1 gig for $50 a month. 

    How crazy this seems ! You should go in a web cafe with a USB storage key or ask a friend of yours letting you use his internet connection. Are you willing to download the VI with your mobile phone ?? It looks like. This download offer is a way to reduce costs of DVD printing, packaging, transport, shop sales, and make us benefit of some lower prices. That's what appears to be the deal.

  • I think I'll be getting the Choir as soon as I can. This looks great.

  • yes, im also getting the choirs asap, i have been waitnig for proper legato choirs quite a while now .

    Are there legato transitiions at different speeds here, or just 1 basic one?

    Also, the guy that is payin 150$ a month or whatever for dloads...

    it IS not mandatory to download VSL just becouse it is a new option, you can offcourse still just buy the product on a dvd, or so i presume anyway.

    So this subscription biznizz, will it increase or decrease the total cost of the special edition?

    Soory, my mind is too numb for advanced mathematics right now hehe.

    ANother great point about downloads, is pricing, since i live in a Country where everything costs 50% more than the announced original price in Euros, i do very much welconme direct downlaods,  bypassing those pesky import taxes altogether.


  • I would just like to get a rough idea of how the new SE plus articulations compare generally with the same articulation types in the full VI library. For example, differences in the actual no. of repetitions in the perf reps patches SE+ versus the full VI library ..... and that sort of thing. (of course I'm sure it will sound great as the SE standard already does :) )

  • If we download the Choirs will we get a discount when the full Choir library comes out?

    There shouldn't be any difference, because for example all the included repetition patches do have already whole tone steps an no more velocity layers than 3 in the larger VI versions.

    If we download the Choirs will we get a discount when the full Choir library comes out? 

    We don't know yet, because it's not clear if any parts of this soprano choir will be included in the final big choir product.

  • Herb, i'm sure you've looked at this; if licences for each package are too complicated do you have a system that stops someone ordering the first download installment, receiving the VI and VE player, putting the licence on a Synchrosoft key then getting a dub of someone else's full product then not proceeding with the remainder of installments? It's in the interest of long term VSL users as well as VSL that your investment is protected! Julian

  • Yes, we've looked at this, there is more than one licence included, but not 110 individual licenses.

  • Herb, I could'nt benefit from the free choir ofer some time ago because I did'nt have the complete VI package. Now I have it, there is certainly some VSL users in the same case. Could we have a 50% off the main price because we own the 10 main VSL volumes or more ? One other question: Do you plan to record some "mm" articulations (closed mouth) ? hope so '-)

  • Hi Herb!

    This is my first post. I haven't any VSL libraries yet. I'm interested in buying the 17 first packages (strings). After that, maybe I'd like the rest, but I'm not sure. Is this possible? (to quit from the subscription at some time)

    Thanks!

  • Another question.  I originally bought the giga versions of concert guitar and overdrive.  I then side-licensed them to K2 format sometime later.  Will there be a side-license option for the new VI versions for giga/K2 version owners?


  • Hi again.

    I have another question. The list price of the VSL SE Standard is 345€, but in the downloable instruments section, it lists a 460€ price, and it doesn't seem to have the Apassionatas bonus, for example. Am I right? Is it more expensive to have it via subscription?

    And, in the case you can stop the subscription at any time, could I subscribe to download the 17 first packages (strings) of VSL SE and then subscribe to VSL SE Plus, and download the "Plus" articulations for the string sections ( 24 first packages? 

    If this is possible to do, I'm going to have the strings as soon as the download system is online. 

    Thanks!


  • Hi, Herb,

    Are any appasionnata articulations included in the extended download packages?

    Thks,

    Iván 


  • Hola Iván!

    Is there any downloable Extended packages? I had understood only SE Standard and SE Plus would be available for download, but not VSL SE Extended. Am I wrong?

    Saludos desde Barna!

    Sorry. it's not possible, because the choir product is only based on one standard licence (no extended content) therefor we can not offer VIP prices for this product.

    This should be possible

    If you are locked in and your Horizon Concert Guitar/Overdrive are registered to your account, you should see your VIP prices in the "Your price" columne. The extended price will display a discount of 50 €  for each product.

    Are any appasionnata articulations included in the extended download packages?

    At the moment we only offer downloads for the Standard library and Standard Library Plus which includes more articulations for all string and wind instruments included in the Standard library (no extra instruments)

    Appassionatas are part of the Extended version of the DVD product, therefor there is no download option for any appassionata articulations.

  • This sounds like a great idea! And an affordable one for those of us on a budget. Having gotten used to downloadable VIs from the Cakewalk site, I can tell you that I'll be subscribing without thinking twice about it. The only thing to remember is to back up the files to CD or DVD just in case the harddrive collapses. I'm sure this is possible since the sounds are unlocked via the Syncrosoft key correct? BTW- how will this work? Will we have to transfer the downloaded data files to our existing VSL Vienna library? How will the licenses work to unlock them? What is your favorite color Herb? Sorry. A little Monty Python goes a long way. Also, how much will the DVD of all of the additional instruments cost? I suppose I could do the math but I'm lazy.
