  • ESX ship date and crossgrade policy?

    Dear Paul,
    I have 2 questions: First, I have heard 2 different ship dates for EXS format in the U.S. - January and February - which is correct?
    Second, how will crossgrades and multi-platform licenses work? It would be great to have a free or nearly free (to cover costs) option to exchange EXS format for Giga. I plan to run VSL on EXS but if my system chokes on it I may purchase Giga.
    Additionally, it would be great to have an option for a multi-platform license if I decide to keep both. Your thoughts? Happy New Year!

    Hello Marc,

    we are finalizing the EXS Orchestral Cube version at the moment.
    Cause of a short beta phase and replication duration you can expect shipping in February. We'll do everything that future EXS releases will have shorter delays.

    We will also have side licenses in the future, but I can give you a tip:

    If you buy now the Gigaversion First Edition and than go with our VIP upgrade path to the Pro Edition, then you could buy the EXS Version.
    You will get the whole set including the stuff of the first edition. So you will own a native Giga and EXS version only paying for one version. Of course you can do this vice versa.
    It depends on your needs, which version is more important for you.

    Hope this helps
    best wishes
