that's a good deal!

Wow Herb, that is really incredible!

It sounds indeed as a great move []

Btw, could you please confirm if we must own one of the of the packages you mention or a combination? (in the products page -your link doesnt' work, btw- it mentions a combination, wether your post says only one, for instance, Opus 1)...

How many layers are included? Are there any diminuendo samples? Does this VI Gui have the same programming possibilities than the normal VI collections?

And the last one...Discount option is still not working []

Best and thks,

Iván

I notice that it includes guitars and harpsichord - what what what
Aren't they going to be available in full and separete packages?

Fantastic, Herb! This is a no brainer

I tried to pre order, but the discount is still not operational, I guess it's a matter of time, if not, let me know what or when to do it

This sounds like an excellent collection, and at a very good price!

Is that articulation list in the product info complete? For the mostpart its not a bad selection at all, though the seeming lack of trills for all instruments (particularly strings and woodwinds) is a tad concerning..

Any word on how many repetitions for short note articulations?

So, what are the articulations, specificaly of the Opus1, that are missing in this Special Edition ?
I wonder because i suppose that now with that Special Edition, there is not going to be ever a full VI-Opus1 ?

Also, in all the strings articulations (standard and extended) is there any sustains with no-vibrato (i.e in the Appassionata strings in occurence) ?
Finaly, it has been probably asked already but can I use my emagic usb key to authorise VI.

Thanks

michel, the dongle used for logic is an XSkey which is a proprietary product from apple (resp. emagic) - no authorizations are possible on such an XSkey except for the VSL performance tool (sample libraries exs format).

licenses for vienna instruments are stored on a syncrosoft USB protection device, also named ViennaKey

Damn!

I was hoping it wouldn't be this good of a deal. Now I'm going to have to complain about something else!

Any ideas?

Quick question:

Legato performances are included but I don't see repetition performances listed.

Are the legato perf's the only performance patches included?

Clark

ivan, you would need two keys _and_ two licenses ...

i personally cannot imagine there will be a discount when upgrading from the special edition to any other product. reason is IMO on one hand the absolute and relative low price of the special edition and the license would still remain active when purchasing some of the *big* vienna instruments products.
