I purchased a iRig Keys I/O 49 to get SampleTank 4 MAX free back in December, 2019. TS 3.5 shows $399.99 for me. Do I understand correctly that any MAX product qualifies one for the MAXgrade?

Too bad my promotional SampleTank 4 MAX doesn't count for the MAXgrade.

You can get dearVR PRO and dearVR MONITOR from Plugin Aliiance for $31 each via their Forever $29 subscription. https://www.plugin-alliance.com/en/products.html?man=dear-reality&sort=manufacturerAZ

Interesting that they include PA products now.

And if you do go for the SoundWide bundle, purchase a $31 plugin at the same time and you can use the $25 monthly voucher.

I concur. I got MAX in a promotion and SE from the latest group buy (I ran out of stuff to get). I install SE for the smaller footprint and selected standalone addons (mainly pianos) from MAX that I use. Keep in mind that the newest libraries (like Electromagnetik and Cinekinetik) aren’t included in MAX (anything released after MAX).

I would second this. T-RackS is still not M1 Native. SampleTank 4 already is. T-RackS 5 was released in 2017.

I finally jumped in for $35 after Jam Points. I have Syntronik Deluxe. Let’s go all the way!

Purchased AHM5050, Bulldog, Shibalba, and The Crown for $16.98 using AAFIFTY. Thanks.

I've been waiting for this (something I would want for > $25). Purchased AMEK 9099 with the Soundwide Intro Bundle for $55.98 after applying $25 monthly voucher. I don't see myself using the voucher much in the future. The $15 deals were easy on the budget. $50 minimums take a lot more thought.

Yes, the basses from MODO BASS are unlocked in MODO BASS 2 CS.

Really? I only looked at MS-20 so far, but out-of-the-box, it had: Devine Bank Korg USA Bank MS-20 Factory 1 MS-20 Factory 2 After loading up all the listed banks, looks like there's some overlap (I didn't try to figure out the overlaps), but from a quick check, MS_20_Basses_JaseFOS is unique, at least.

If I install MODO DRUM 1.1.3 and then upgrade to 1.5, I can see all the old drum kits with only the three new ones as locked. I would expect MODO DRUM 1.5 SE to unlock those three new kits. IK is pretty good about using different SKUs to add different functionality like with AmpliTube and T-RackS. Anyhow, this is $28 after using $12 Jam Points to upgrade the three kits.

I had to install manually from my Windows laptop and discovered this page which has a bunch of preset banks to manually load: https://id.korg.com/static_pages/1 (the link from "Bonus Program") KORG MS-20 Sound Programs KORG USA Expansion Bank KORG USA Expansion Bank 2 Roland Kuit Sound Bank HardLeads JaseFOS Sound Bank Basses JaseFOS Sound Bank Pads JaseFOS Sound Bank SFX JaseFOS Sound Bank Apollo440 Sound Bank Richard Devine Sound Bank KORG Polysix Sound Programs KORG USA Expansion Bank KORG USA Expansion Bank 2 Francis Preve Sound Bank Richard Devine Sound Bank KORG Mono/Poly Sound Programs KORG USA Expansion Bank KORG USA Expansion Bank 2 JaseFOS Sound Bank Chris Liebing Sound Bank KORG M1 Sound Programs NUMB Sound Bank KORG WAVESTATION Sound Programs Richard Devine Sound Bank KORG LegacyCell Sound Programs Francis Preve Sound Bank Richard Devine Sound Pack

This is the lowest price I've seen any Nembrini amp plugin for desktop sell for. I appreciate Nembrini amp sims since they take so little CPU compared to amp suites like AmpliTube, BIAS FX, or Amp Room.

Thanks. I was running KORG Software Pass 1.1.4. Updated to 1.1.10 (latest for Mac). The differences I see are the additions of: wavestate native opsix native Both have "Try Demo" buttons.

Hm. I'm already up-to-date (same versions as what was listed). My initial installation was on April 26. I'm hoping that TRITON Extreme can be M1 Native (like the rest of the plugins).

Updated. Looks like it's still not M1 Native. I was hoping the update would have Apple Silicon support, but alas ... So far, AmpliTube 5, Hammond B-3X, MODO DRUM, SampleTank 4, SampleTron 2, and Syntronik 2 are M1 Native. Thanks, IKM. The other IK products not yet updated are: MODO BASS, ARC 3, Lurssen Mastering Console, and MixBox. Hoping T-Racks becomes M1 Native next since it covers so many plugins (but maybe that's probably why it's taking so long).

To be clear, it's $7.50 for Groovemate ONE Crossgrade from PHAT 2. The crossgrade offers from PHAT 2 are: SPARKLE: $29 MELLOW 2: $39 DEEP: $39 Goovemate ONE: $7.50 Chillhop Bundle: $109 Hiphop Bundle 2: $49

Hm. Never heard of rubber bridge guitars before. Had to go and research. https://www.guitarworld.com/features/reuben-cox-really-good-rejects-documentary https://studentofguitar.com/rubber-bridge-guitars/ Any other good links?

Here’s the response I got from support: “Thanks for reaching out. No, the gig performer is a host and not a plugin. The forever 29 voucher can be used on plugins only.”

Full price is $199.99, so it's $100 for 1st time buyer or $50 for V1 crossgrade.

You're correct that AT5 CS does not have VIR™ cabinet technology, but AT5 SE does have it. Check the comparison chart: https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/include/at5/gear_list_pdf/AmpliTube_5_comparison.pdf

Ah, I see. That is true. There's a pretty good list of amps not in AT5 SE (pulling from the spreadsheet I made for the group buy) ... * = new in AmpliTube 5: Brit Silver: Based on Marshall® Jubilee™ head Brit Valve Pre: Based on Marshall® JMP-1™ tube preamp British Blue Tube 30TB: Based on Vox® AC30 - Blue Panel British Tube Lead 2: Based on Marshall® JCM900™ head Custom Modern Hi-Gain: Modern Hi-Gain AmpliTube model Custom Solid State Clean: Solid State Clean AmpliTube model Custom Solid State Fuzz: Solid State Fuzz AmpliTube model Custom Solid State Lead: Solid State Lead AmpliTube model German 34: Based on Bogner Ecstasy XTC 3534 * Green BA250: Based on Trace Elliot® AH250 Head Metal Clean T: Based on Mesa/Boogie® Triple Rectifier - Green Channel Metal Lead T: Based on Mesa/Boogie® Triple Rectifier - Red Channel MiniPlex 20: Based on Friedman Pink Taco PT-20 * Modern Tube Lead: Based on Mesa/Boogie® Dual Rectifier® New York B750: Based on Aguilar DB750 * Red Pig: Based on Marshall® Major™ head SilverPlate 50: Based on PRS Archon 50 * Tube Vintage Combo: Based on Supro® '50s VHandcraft 4: Based on Diezel VH4 * Vintage Metal Lead: Based on Marshall® JMP100 Head And stomps: 10 Band Graphic: A 10 band graphic EQ stomp effect Acoustic Sim: Acoustic simulator stomp effect AmpLess: Tech 21® Sansamp™ * Analog Flanger: Boss® BF-2™ Flanger Big Pig: Electro Harmonix® Big Muff Pi™ Chorus-1: Boss® CE-1™ Chorus Crusher: Digital distortion pedal Dcomp: MXR® Dynacomp™ Distortion: BOSS® DS-1™ Distortion EchoMan: Electro Harmonix® Memory Man™ Electric Flanger: Electro-Harmonix® Electric Mistress™ Envelope Filter: Advanced filter effect Feedback: BOSS® DF-2™ Super feedbacker & Distortion Metal Distortion: BOSS® MT-2™ Metal Zone Metal Distortion 2: BOSS® HM-2™ Heavy Metal Metal Flanger: MXR® Flanger 117 Octav: BOSS® OC-2™ Octaver Overdrive: BOSS® SD-1™ Super OverDrive Phaze Nine: MXR® Phase 90™ Pitch Shifter: This effect shifts the pitch of the incoming signal PROdrive: Pro Co RAT™ Distortion Small Phazer: Electro-Harmonix® Small Stone™ TapDelay: Creative delay effect unit VariDiode+: MXR® Distortion+ with interchangeable diodes * Wah 10: Ibanez® WH-10™ Wah 47: VOX® Wah V847™ Wharmonator: Digitech® Wahmmy™ WH-1 AT5 SE has the basic stuff that I use (with the amps in the collections), but it is nice to have the above to try. You do get quite a bit. I can relate with the GAS/FOMO--I got everything from the GB. Actually, looking at the above, I think getting AT5 is more compelling for the stomps. If you're willing to go outside the AmpliTube, you can get Softube Silver Jubilee (can get it pretty cheap since it's a bundled giveaway) and Waves PRS SuperModels (for the Archon). Addendum: noted which amps and stomps are new. Apparently all new ones are in AT5 but not in AT5 SE.

IK doesn't offer upgrades like other companies. If you've purchased a product that retails for $99 or more, then you can get the crossgrade pricing. With this current promotion, you can redeem up to 30% of the price with Jam Points, which would mean you pay $69. The best deal is when it's offered via the group buy, in which case you buy a qualifying item and get X items free (though to get AT5, you'd have to buy in at a higher price). Is there a specific reason you want AT5? With AT5 SE and specific collections, you can get the better amps than ones built into AT5 (like Fender 1 & 2 and Slash - Marshall).
