Jason Neudorf Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Interesting; they probably have given up on their MAXgrade pricing strategy if they're selling so cheaply. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon OverSea Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) Yes, buy this Syntronik 2 MAX firstly then upgrade to Total MAX that should save $160. Edited October 5, 2023 by Moon OverSea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PavlovsCat Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 I own MTron Pro, UVI Mello, Sonic Reality's Mellotron KONTAKT library (which I think are the same libraries used for the Mellotron from Dave Kerzner's Mellotron, Chamberlain, etc.) and a bunch of other Tron sample libraries. I owned the first SampleTron and loved it but now that I have MTron Pro and all the other stuff, I thought this would just be duplicating what I already own. Then again, this is pretty cheap and there seems to be some additional string libraries in it. Can anyone either talk me down or help push me over the edge to get this? There are a couple of types of sample libraries and plugins that I am a sucker for -- pianos, guitars, Wurlies, acoustic drums, cellos, celestes, glockenspiels and Tron libraries and plugins. Also, do our JAM POINTS -- or whatever they're called -- work on these deals? I have a few hundred sitting around and I suppose I can feel like I got a super deal with this sale and the jam points combined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes JamPoints can be used to take off an additional up to 30% off these prices. 10 hours ago, Jason Neudorf said: Interesting; they probably have given up on their MAXgrade pricing strategy if they're selling so cheaply. We still have MAXgrade pricing for Total Studio 4 MAX and don't plan on removing that at this time, I can't guarantee forever but I see nothing on the horizon to change that. 3 hours ago, Kiloteq said: I wouldn't say $99, but I would be happy with $149 or so.

Looking at what's on the plate for the rest of this year I don't see much confusion in the promotions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter - IK Multimedia Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) Also, the best way to get the most out of this and tee up for Total Studio 4 MAX down the road would be to get SampleTank 4 MAX v2 in this deal because it contains all the other VIs that are in this promo anyway so for 69.99 you get the Pokemon catch em all for a much better price. And yes, you would then still qualify for MAXgrade pricing on Total Studio 4 MAX. Edited October 5, 2023 by Peter - IK Multimedia 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telecode 101 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 The ST deal is pretty good if you are a ST user. It includes the new mojo stuff and also the dobro resonator. https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/stmojosynthesis/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psionx Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) I got Miroslav Philharmonik 2 for $27.99 using my Jam points. Great deal in my opinion. 😀 Edited October 5, 2023 by psionx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) I’ve never bought any of these before so I’m a bit confused, when I look at SampleTank Max on the promo and look under “What's inside SampleTank 4 MAX v2”, it lists Miraslov Philarmonik 2, Sampletron 2 and what looks like most of the Syntronik?? Is that right? So I only need to buy SampleTank then? Edited October 5, 2023 by tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been purchasing IK products for 3 years and still get confused by all their marketing twists and turns. To help sort them out, I usually look at specific webpages and check out any Compare/Versions tables that might be there. Last year, I also made a tracking spreadsheet to help sort out what I have and don't have. IK's history is to offer bundles that invariably include products consumers already have. JMO: This is part of why some longtime IK consumers have felt their pricing often favors new customers. For example, ST4 MAX V2 includes 76 products I already have licences for, but for the same purchase price, you will get 88 products. One advantage of maintaining a spreadsheet was that I was able to see that with what I already have, ST4 MAX V2 would give me 12 new libraries which comes out to $5.83 each or $4.08 each if I use $21 in Jam Points. For you the per item is much lower!!!! If you get it, I would recommend starting with a spreadsheet sooner rather than later! When new bundles come out which will include IK products you own it should be less confusing. Edited October 5, 2023 by User 905133 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milan Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Other than the dobro resonator, what other acoustic instruments does one get, when upgrading from Sample Tank 4 MAX v1 to v2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a list. I saw it back in April IIRC. I think it was in one of the Compare/Versions tables. Let me see if I can find it. UPDATE: Sorry. The document I was thinking of just lists the new libraries. It lists all of the instruments included, but not a comparison of v2 with v1. ALSO: It looks like Miroslav Philharmonik 2 is new to Sample Tank 4 MAX v2. If so, that should add a bunch of acoustic instrument. But to be honest, all of the variant bundles IK has confuses me, so if Peter doesn't chime in, you might want to ask IK Support, Edited October 5, 2023 by User 905133 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
