Final Sale
As we approach the end of our VI Series products’ life cycle, we’d like to give you a heads-up and enough time to prepare. We’d also like to give you an opportunity to stock up on VI Series products at half their price, knowing that crossgrading to the corresponding SYNCHRON-ized products during this sale or in the future will be a cost-saving way to move your instruments to the Synchron Player and benefit from an improved, enhanced, and oftentimes expanded sample database.


Log in to display your personal crossgrade prices to all SYNCHRON-ized Libraries! Remember, when you’re completing a Bundle, you’re getting a hefty bundle discount on top of the promo price!

Products that are currently not available as SYNCHRON-ized versions (Brass, Orchestral Strings, Jazz Drums) will be ready when their VI Series counterparts are discontinued.

On October 1, 2024, all VI Series products including Single Instruments, Collections, Bundles, the VI Special Editions and the MIRx Reverb Expansions will disappear from the web shop. Of course you can continue using these products for years to come. We will support the Vienna Instruments Pro player at least through the end of 2025, and it will keep working on compatible operating systems and hardware.

Many seem to prefer/recommend the original special editions over the new SYNCHRO-NIZED engine, shame they are doing this. I personally love my purchase of the Special Edition 1 that I made last year.

 

I'm surprised they lasted this long... you never hear about them anymore.
