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! 

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 ?

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.

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?

This should be possible

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?

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.

But if I get the SE without the extended, I could subscribe to the SE Plus and that will build the Extended little by little.

Not as I understand it; SE plus is completely different from SE Extended, and adds articulations to the SE Standard content.  It does not include any SE Extended content, nor any enhancements to that content.  As Herb said in an earlier reply, there are no Appassionata strings articulations in SE Plus, for example, because they're not part of SE standard.

Yes,I am a little confused as well.

Sooooo,does one NEED to own SE (the DVD version) in order to "subscribe" or does the subscription install the necessary samples? Also,will there be a list of articulations listed for the "overdrive" libraries?

Thanks,

I have the standard special edition, bought in the normal dvd format about half a year ago or so. So, if I wanted to buy the special edition plus, it would cost a total of 460 euro = 678.27 USD. I bought the standard special edition for about $450. So I would be spending about 1 1/2 times as much on the upgrade as on the original. The upgrade only includes extra articulations for the string and woodwinds that we already have. So, my question is, how close to the complete orchestral strings and woodwinds does this get us? I assume it isn't complete, because it ends up being cheaper, but it might be close to half the price. Might we standard special edition users have an upgrade path to the complete strings and woodwinds coming through these downloads, so that we do not need to buy articulations we already have if we were to buy the two orchestral strings packages? If not, it seems that if I wanted to, at some point, end up getting the complete orchestral cube (as I hope to), the special edition plus would just be a waste of money, and it would be better to save a little more and get one of the packages of the cube. I hope I am making myself clear. Thanks.

Does SE+ come with the Universal mode matrix for whatever instruments are upgraded to plus?

Wait Wait Wait,

Your telling me I have to pay for SE which is $445.00us then when I want to get the Extended (not subscription) i have to pay an extra 595.00?

If so wow. Well I guess i would love to have extended as a subscription then. And If it is ,please add.  Ha La Lu Ya - to the full choirs. :)

Excellent!  Between the announcement for guitars and the plus subscription, I think I'm ready to take the plunge in the VI world. 

One last question (for now), Once I acquire Standard, Extended, and the Plus additions, it seems like this would be a lot of content to be running on a single computer.  Will there be any provisions to split load between multiple computers?

Why does downloading the Special Edition Standard library cost 40% more than buying the DVD?

I'm curious about this too

I'm very excited about this.  Yes, it's funky how we can only download them "in order," but the fact that I'll be able to download extra articulations for the SE in pieces, is the difference between me stiking it out with VSL or looking elsewhere.   Thank you - this is just the ticket in, just what I needed - I will be subscribing!

It doesnt' make much sense to me: the downloadable VI SE Standard Edition costs 460 EUR, versus 345 EUR of the boxed version.

Did I miss something?
