Gone unfortunately. They dissapeared(the SDX version) from the Platinum Samples Webpage first and I asked Rail and he said they were not going to do another run because of, among other problems, piracy. That seemed strange and I just think it did not work out with Toontrack.
Really too bad as this was the best recorded of the SDX’s in my opinion, Couple that with a real lack of SDX’s in the last two years(I count the Jazz releases as one product) that I have concluded that Superoir will always be the step child with EZ Drummer the real aim. So I am now checking other drum packages after being with Toontrack since Superior One.
I didn’t know about that. I bought the Platinum Samples at half price at one stage, but don’t use it much. I mainly use C&V and none of the other stuff I have. So I don’t really care about yet another SDX, unless it was the kit used in early Dire Straits records.

To each his own. I love C&V myself, but the Evil Drums SDX was splendid. I own BFD2 as well, and all the Platinum Samples stuff is top-notch. A great opportunity missed for TT in my opinion. Since you don’t use it, why don’t you offer to sell it to one of these people who wish they had it?

I guess I could sell Evil Drums, but they are highly rated and maybe next year I find them useful for something. And if I sold them there would be no way of getting them back as it is..
What a loss… that really sucks. I was hoping to see more Platinum or other 3rd party libraries to help fill the painfully long gaps between SDX releases. Now we’re moving backwards. I agree Superior doesn’t seem to get a lot of love.
So ironically, this software now would only be available to the pirates? Awesome…..
That doesn’t make sense to stop it. All a customer needs is a copy of the DVD(s) and for the supplier to sell them a serial number (I presume it’s authorised in the same manner as other SDXs?).
How does discontinuing it stop the pirates?

I think I answered this pretty suscinctly on our forum:
“Unfortunately it’s not worth the cost to manufacture another run… piracy hurt our sales dramatically and it’s not economical to port our other libraries.”
It was a simple economic decision. This library was pirated within a week of release – and despite great reviews on the pirate forums those same folks never actually bought the product.
This was not a downloadable product.. I can’t see paying customers wanting to download 5 dual layer DVD worth of data… although apparently the pirates don’t seem to mind.
