He did not mention the word free.

He didn't have to. The global warming emissions over the last two days about this are going to warm the planet a degree or two, and we're going over the same ground again and again, as if the hard core of detractors can somehow bludgeon the rest of us and VSL into accepting their point of view. Say it as many times as you like, i'll bet there are plenty who are queuing up to part with their money, and cut their worktime considerably. And i'm sure there will be plenty like me who will buy one instrument at a time, as we can afford it, becuase we think it's a good deal for the worlds best sample library. I think it's time to accept that you are a minority, that the discussion about the product not the price has highlighted some truly worthy elements of the cube, and very rarely have any of you mentioned the real strengths of the package contained in the VI. I for one will enjoy loading multiarticulations into one track, playing, Romtimising, and doing the next one without having to sort out 15 or twenty tracks at a time.
And much of the belligerent accusation the minority hard core has used is bordering on immoral with statements akin to accusing VSL of pulling a scam, or ripping off their customers. It's complete rubbish, and bloody distasteful.
How quickly some people can so willingly descend into savagery.
None of you said this when you bought previous VSL products. You sat at home or in the studio, loaded them up, and drooled over the quality of the sounds, and the thought of even more lifelike work, showing off to your mates because you had 'VSL", the very best.
Now that VSL have taken another big step forward in a new direction, you've decided you can't keep up, and want the company to hold your hand, and give you anything for nothing, because you're 'loyal.'
Well, the rest of us have seen precious little of that loyalty and positive input to the company over the last few days, and instead of presenting your points in a civilised manner, you've gone into pack mode, threatening all sorts of retribution if you don't get your own way. Pretty ungrateful stuff for all the upgrades, freebies, and great service in the past.
Same thing happens when children throw their teddies out of the pram.
Time to grow up and behave like civilised adults.
Alex.
