  • Special Edition Collection Vol. 1 PLUS question

    L

    Hi!

    I want to buy Special Edition Collection Vol. 1 but I am mostly interested in strings and brass. Woodwind is ok too...the additional articulations in Vol. 1 PLUS are important but are too expensive. Is it really necessary to buy Vol. 1 AND Vol. 1 PLUS? Buying only Vol. 1 PLUS will result in missing samples?
    Or is there a special price for owners of Vol. 1 who want to buy Vol. 1 PLUS too?

    Of course I could also buy strings and brass with strings plus but...then I would miss woodwind and maybe also percussion.

    Hi.

    You NEED to purchase the SE Standard to be able to run SE Plus.

    If youare looking for buying more sections at one time, look for bundles, because they are less expensive then sections purchased in parts, if you can afford it — I did it yesterday to add brass to my Vol.1/1+ rig, having percussion resulting in a bonus.

    Thank you for your reply! What do you mean with "resulting in a bonus"? Did you get something for free?

    This is what I want:
    https://vsl.co.at/en/Special_Edition_Complete_Bundle/Special_Edition_Vol1
    221€

    I also need the plus articulations (trills...) of PLUS 1 but over 200€ for just that is expensive. So I would like to know if the price is reduced after buying Vol. 1 or if it will still be 236€?

    There's a bundle for 428€ but the reduction is not that much (Vol. 1 + Vol1. PLUS = 457€).

    Sorry, I misspoke. It's a bonus for me, not a SE percussion owner.
    Buying the bundle in need for brass was less expensive than buying brass alone. 😃

    To check reductions, put vol. 1 first in the cart, than Vol. 1+. If I'm right, discount will appear if appicable.
    I'll send you a PM later.

    Thanks for your reply! I have placed both products and the Vienna key in my basket but I did not get any discount on PLUS.

    Hello LeanderAT, 

    The only reduction you get is the Bundle price when purchasing both products or completing the bundle (adding SE Vol 1 PLUS to the SE Vol 1).

    UPGRADE prices are only available if the product you upgrade to contains samples that are already contained in your registered products.

    Best,
    Paul
