audioschmaudio Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 So new it's not even on the IK Multimedia website yet. When you search for it on their site, you get a search result: It links to https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/totalvi But when you go to that page it just redirects you to https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/ts4/ instead.

I don't keep track of IK's product variants any more. But I seem to recall a VI bundle was available previously.** Not sure of the exact name of the contents because I only tracked the names of overlapping bundles to compare with what I already had have(to see how many of the included products I didn't have that were included in the bundle). I could be wrong, but based on the items that were missing from this bundle (compared with what I have had for a few years) I noticed that this bundle does not have some newer ST4 sound packs and SYN2 Instruments. Yesterday I also tried to find a record of the previous VI bundle to see if this was new or old and to post a link to a comparison, but I couldn't find it. It might be that the VI bundle focuses on the base instruments as opposed to the instruments plus the libraries. I'll let someone who knows more about the older VI bundle speak to that issue. That being said, if anyone is interested in this bundle, you might want to do some comparisons. My gut impression is that this might be a clearance sale of the same VI bundle that was offered previously. Caveat emptor. **UPDATE: I found an IK webpage screenshot from 2021 that includes the blurb for the previous Total VI MAX I saw: ". . . every virtual instrument for Total Studio 3.5 MAX is here."

Also, look at the video Plugin Boutique has on YouTube: It is from November 2021, approx. 1 month before my screenshot. I could be wrong, but this might be a clearance sale of virtual "New Old Stock" [old serials at a major discount]. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioschmaudio Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 @User 905133 thanks for the update. So, I was wrong to assume that it's so new that it's not even on the IK website, but so old that it's not there anymore instead. Their product naming is confusing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reid Rosefelt Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Is it just me, but are the Roman numerals a little weird? We are currently on Total Studio 4 (IV) and we're waiting for Total Studio 5 (V). So what's with VI ? That's 6. And it's 3.5? Somebody please explain this to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

User 905133 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I am not an expert on IK Products, but at least since TS2, they have not used Roman numerals for versions. VI is short for "Software Synths." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I thought it was clear from my post that the Total VI bundle was different from the Total Studio product line. If going forward they have a VI bundle and I comment on it, I will remember the Roman numeral confusion and will try to phrase my posts to reduce the ambiguity.

I'm a dummy (and a member of the VI:Control forum) but I did wonder about and I appreciate you straightening it out for me. By the way, when is Total Studio V coming out? 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
