But then it dies down after the sale. Last Group Buy there was an unofficial contest to see which forum would generate the most thread pages. We were ahead until some comments got out of hand and a mod locked the thread here. There's generally not much meaningful collaboration happening at KVR. But some developers use it as a support forum, and other marketers use it to announce new products or updates. Users delight in venting and slinging arrows at other users. I would suggest wearing your thick skin suit if you choose to wade into those dark waters. 😉 VI-control.net probably has the best "community". https://vi-control.net/community/ Edited May 6, 2022 by abacab 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would HAPPILY have paid $50 to upgrade to MAX rather than $40 to enter the GB  $149 - 44/45 Jam Points = $104 roughly $104 MAX - $49.99 GB = $54 (Roughly speaking) Group buy $49.99, if it doesn't make it, then $49.99 for every missing Synth. Plus there is the content that is only in Syntronik (Full or Syntronik MAX.

I see...I was going to say...still $54 more than the Group Buy, actually $69, as with Jampoints it's only $35 to enter the group buy, but at least you have the MAX designation, and the ability to rid yourself of it if you so choose, and an upgrade path to the Max-Grade for TS4 Max! Historically, the Group Buys always make it to the end...but it's still a risk. I only needed 11 to get to everything, so now it's just duplicates in the pot from henceforth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heath Row Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Yes, I would say there may be a rush towards the end, those sitting back waiting, seeing how close it gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereas letting the group buy max out ensures existing customers are happy and is good marketing to get new customers on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just play it the easy way, this way whether there is or is not extra content I'm fine, whether or not it makes it I'm fine again. This doesn't make sense to me. If you pay 49.99 for the GB and $149 minus 30% in Jam Points (roughly $104), the total paid is roughly $154. Why did you subtract the GB entry fee? Maybe there's a reason, but I don't see it. Are you saying that if you enter the GB and then buy MAX, IK will refund you GB fee?  If you are saying that you can purchase MAX to get more SYN2 instruments IF the GB doesn't go all the way, to me that's still addition: the GB fee plus what you pay for MAX. Edited May 6, 2022 by User 905133 (2) to insert cclarry's quote that prompted the reply for context; (1) to add the "If you are saying . . . ." sentence.

Heath Row Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 (edited) Not buying the GB. Just to show how much I am paying extra for MAX instead of GB MAX 104 - GB 50 = 54 (with GB using Jam Points which I forgot makes it a bit more), still nothing in the grand scheme of things. At least I know I have it all, as there is talk about some content being missing if you go the GB way, I don't know if its true or not, but I am happy with paying a bit extra and getting MAX and being sure I have everything.

This is all wrong, but if it works for you...that's all that matters. There is nothing missing from what you get in the Group Buy as compared to S2 Max. They're all the same Synths. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those 33 Synths are EXACTLY THE SAME, regardless of whether you get them individually, or in Max. The only thing that "gets lost" is if you are using Syn 1 Synths in Syn 2, where you lose the Syn 2 presets and the Syn 2 full "Edit" capability.  So, if the Group Buy goes ALL THE WAY, you WILL get EXACTLY THE SAME as if you were to buy Syn 2 Max! If it doesn't go all the way, then your Syn 1 Synths will not get the Syn 2 Presets or Editing. If I'm wrong, I'll stand corrected, but there is LITERALLY no way I can be wrong!
