Hi Herb,

What I understand from your post is that during the 6 - 8 week intro period [does this period start from when the product is ready to ship?], and if you have the full Vienna Instrument string package - 1 and 2 - the standard AND the extended version - and if you buy the appassionata VI strings Standard version, you get the extended version free. Am I right or wrong here?

thanks for any info with this.


regards,

Steve M.

Thankyou Herb & cm for the info.
I do have the required products - and they are all registered (just checked on the website).

So...please let us know when this 6-8 period starts....

Of course, THANKS for your generosity and support for faithful old customers!
[:D]

Regards - Colin

Very generous. I wasn't going to buy App Strings at the moment, but now....... [:O]

Same here. Damn I hate VSL sometimes [[;)]]

Hi Herb,

Sorry - I do apologise - in re-reading your post, I realized that you had to have the strings pro-edition or pro-edition performance set also to qualify.

best regards,

Steve [:D]

Thx a lot Herb - a really nice gesture to us old-timers.

Well I'm not sure....if you haven't bought the VI editions of Orchestral Strings, even though you bought Performance & Pro Strings, it seems there will be no discount at all. In my case have FE complete and ProPerformance set, and I only bought the Chamber Strings as VI so far. So I don't think my older Strings registrations will be of any benefit. It would of course be nice if there could be some sort of introductory offer which helps a wider group of us old "VIP" users.

It's a complex business, this "being fair" , ain't it? [[;)]]

i'd like to point you to the initial offer, which clearly refers to pro edition users upgrading to Vienna Instruments Strings

I was looking for an additional attractive premium bonus for our Pro Edition users who plan to upgrade to Vienna Instruments ...

now the offer has been expanded from appass violins to appass strings extended as bonus ...

Thanks Christian- it *is* hard to follow all the permutations - it would be simplest if we could see in the discount calculator just what pricing is available, according to what we have previously registered, and with the additional information that mentions special (i.e introductory) offers, etc.

I see the Discount Calculator is offline, so does that mean it's being updated for this purpose, please?

Thank you

Nigel

the vienna instruments calculater is beeing updated because we noticed a few inconsistencies on discounts with some mixed first-/pro-edition/horizon combinations and registered vienna instruments have not been displayed.

i can't promise to show such special offers and i'm not sure now if it was (is) not time-limited ...

Very fair Herb.

Demos? Can you provide only these new samples as a demo. Kevin's first VI quick and dirty demos what made me plop down $7K for the VI update. We have some very talented programmers here on the board but I would 'also' love to hear this set all by itself - little processing.


Rob

Hey - don't put the guilt on me for the $7K you dropped! [:D]

cm/Herb - I hope the offer is on as I've just ordered the standard appassionata strings from the site but nothing was mentioend about receiving the extended code - I guess this will happen when I receive the standard version hopefully sometime this week or early next...

tim, when you register with the serialnumber of the standard library you will receive an activation code for full.
christian

Thanks cm! Hope all is going well at NAMM.

We'll make an official announcement later, but here is a short info how the Appassionata upgrade will work:

We'll offer a 6 to 8 weeks introduction period where you will get the extended content for free if you have registered
Pro Edition Strings or Pro Edition Performance Set plus
Vienna Instruments Orchestral strings I + II (standard + extended).

If you have these products registered you'll get automatically a full code for the Appassionatas when you are registering the Standard Appassionatas collection.

So you only have to order the Standard version and double checking if all your products are registered before you register the Appassionatas.

Kick ass!

Oh - and I cant wait to hear the cellos!

--OK Kevin - I dropped the quilt trip - IF.......... you do some more 'solo' demos. Deal?

I think I'll do some call ! [[;)]]

CEEEELLLLOOOOS

Cellos please? [:D]

- When will the release be ready to ship?
- Can Bestservice check ownership of Pro Ed and Symp. Cube with you?
- Has anything been added to teh App. Violins which was not part of the freebie?

Thanks

Best Service wil recieve the Appassionatas tomorrow.
You will automatically recieve a Full code when you are registering your Standard library. So Best Service doesn't have to check anything.
Just buy the Standard package and register it, that's all.

Newsletter and more infos on our site will be ready this week.

All articulations are listed in the Articulation lists on the Product page.
There are some new violin articulations.

best
Herb

Nice - can we expect a demo of the rest of App. strings today or tommorow before ordering? Thanks
