Im a bit confused, that JRR link sends you to HO diamond edition? Is that description outdated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that description outdated? My understanding is that there's now a single edition of Hollywood Orchestra on sale. There used to be "Gold" and "Diamond" (and perhaps other) versions, and I think since Diamond was the highest tier -- and the content that's carried forward to the "Opus Edition" (I think) -- the "Diamond" label is still used sometimes. But basically, if you're buying new (and EW doesn't allow second-hand sales, so new is usually the only option), it's the Hollywood Orchestra Opus Edition, or HOOPUS. The "Diamond" bit is sometimes tacked on -- the KVR product page calls it "Hollywood Orchestra Opus Edition Diamond" repeatedly -- but there's just the one version, unless you happen to have a perpetual license already for one of the legacy versions. EastWest themselves don't seem to use the "Diamond" designation anywhere and don't explain the history anywhere, as far as I can tell. But the above fits what I've seen at various stores and forum discussions. Edited November 29, 2023 by Zolton Added last paragraph 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
