I recall this from last year as well, where my upgrades to various products were $99, thus excluding them from using the voucher 😞

From a few comments at VI-Control, you can do a "crossgrade" to get the older instruments. And I contacted 8DIO support and they replied: Also found this.. including a video from 8dio on the history. https://vi-control.net/community/threads/im-trying-to-understand-8dios-string-library-history-can-someone-help-me.102131/

I'm removing my previous comment based on my conversation with John (the developer). I've apologized to him as well.

Of course you can still buy the Zampler Bundle with 72 !! 😵 expansions for $33 https://vstbuzz.com/deals/96-off-zampler-bundle-by-zampler/

I'm saving up for Luftrum's Charity Auction (in October). Great fun every year. Some bargains, and always for a good cause. Here was last years: https://go.rallyup.com/charity2019 (used to be on KVR, but was a lot of manual work for those in charge)

INTRO LOYALTY PRICE: $99 (if you own the original Oceania, use this code towards the end of the checkout process [before confirmation], applicable & valid only within the intro period) INTRO PRICE: $149 (for those who don’t own the original Oceania) Not much of a loyalty price.. so not for me.. but others may be interested. Even if you got it at their "special" price in Jan. "Oceania 1 at $79 through January 31, 2020,, and get a significant discount on 2 when released" You're still paying more than if you just bought it now. ($79 + $99 upgrade) vs $149 (new) I certainly don't see that as a "significant discount"

Just one of the reasons I love this forum. (people with lots more experience than I have, sharing their thoughts). I was interested, but the more I read (and the lack of info/full demos OT has available) the less sure I am that it would be worthwhile at this point. As @Reid Rosefelt noted, there is EW Silk (and even RA) which I've looked at before, but never purchased. At their current prices, maybe that would be a better purchase at this time. UVI also have World Suite 2 which looks interesting. Thanks for the opinions.

Just 3 days left..... 🤔

And it made me look at Momentum (https://www.bigfishaudio.com/momentum.html) which is free, and I hadn't seen that before. "Momentum is a free plugin from Big Fish Audio that unlocks the potential of your loops and samples with the next generation of sound sculpting tools."
