We're going to make it   

Where is the link for the super discount on another HD Pete?

Wait HD doesn't stand for "MIDI controller"... I'm confused.

Wait!  IK is now selling ketchup ? 

Sorry I'll get my summer jacket........

I'm also someone who associates 57 with ketchup.

Steak Sauce!

I do have to agree with the A1 preference, personally.  As much as I don't like to agree with @InstrEd most times But having lived in Pittsburgh for such a long time, I definitely see the steak sauce instant connection too.  Heck, their nasty vegetarian beans are even popular with the English folks in the States so they certainly cast a wide net.

Promotion page is back baby! (at least for me)

I was just coming back to let you know this was fixed.  Thank you for posting!

Unfortunately that's not right around the corner but I'm pushing for something in the interim to fix a couple things that are making it long in the tooth.

The IT team has been alerted to the Promotions tab issue.  Nice surge, folks!

I'll let the team know we've done many group buys in the past so kindly please expect the resource impact.  Again.

It's tough to call with a holiday weekend upon us in the States but honestly I'm wowed by how the pace has picked up and I am definitely confident here.  And not my first rodeo so hopefully my instincts are solid because I have a great optimistic feeling about this.

Hmm.  Vertical scrollbar jumping issue after return from detail  is still there. 

Did you report it to IK Support?  If so, just shoot me your ticket number and I can follow up.

Unfortunately IKM Have not fixed the pitch bend range issue in all patches that use the ST4 engine.

The actual bend range is double that of what you have dialled in.  This also means you cannot achieve a bend range of an odd number of semi-tones.

I am remaining on 4.16 until IKM resolves this.

I received verification that this is an open issue with the team and has had some conversation recently including getting the Product Manager to step in so it should see action soon.  I don't have a specific timeline but it appears to be on the table for fixing, thank you.

DAMMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think both of these guys work for the same team and are doing a good-cop-bad-cop kind of thing using a tag team promotional/marketing strategy.  Why else would they repeatedly engage in this behavior?        ?

I unfortunately must engage in dispelling constant misinformation in this specific case.  Otherwise I'm pretty sure most here know I take factual and constructive ideas to the team all the time (and sometimes I even get a "win" for y'all!).

Ok thanks for clarifying. But i still think its not really clear because nowwhere it says individual synths or similar and also there are 11 synths in syntronic se for example included that are displayed under qualifying products.. you should definitely make it clear somewhere on the page that syntronik se is NOT eligible for the group buy especially now that it is discounted in the same time frame as the group buy closes..

Sorry but I notice you say "you" to Larry who is merely posting the deal and cannot change or enact change directly on the IK pages.  I can, and of course I listen to his and others' suggestions including yours.

In this case, though, I'm sorry to say that I do feel the group buy page is quite clear in saying "these are the qualifying products" while listing them all specifically on the page.  The individual synths are each their own product and are the only ones that qualify for this group buy.  Syntronik 2, Syntronik 2 SE, nor Syntronik 2 MAX qualify for this group buy.

Thanks for posting this.  Apparently a couple of issues crept/snuck back into a late build and they were able to crush dem bugs with this hot fix.

A real shame the very reduced palette of patterns and very low melodic articulation brought the CS version, added to the fact that there is no demonstration of sounds of the new expansions it is really no very tempting for me to pay again for an update to V2 and apparently I am not the only one who thinks this which I have been saying for a while.

The reports I see showing the incredible number of people who bought it yesterday beg to differ.  We have audio and video demos available for all the basses.  And of course to go through this yet again:  you are not "paying again" for everything.

Also, the replies you got last time you made this rant (from other users of this forum, not me) can counter your hyperbole about how many people agree with your logic.

Appreciate you bumping the thread, though.  The more people that know about MODO BASS 2 seems the more people want to pick it up for the most part.  We have an affiliate program if you'd like to make some commissions though I'm pretty sure those links aren't allowed here.

But to be serious.  I am sorry to hear you don't think we have given enough away free for your liking, and I mean that sincerely.  Sometimes things just aren't for someone and I appreciate that this and MODO DRUM 1.5 were not for you.  However, you tend to go on the offensive so I will unfortunately need to correct the misinformation when I see it, as much as I do sincerely appreciate that you're interested to a degree but these products are not for you.

79.99 is the upgrade price, has been that way from the go.

OG news and PR has contained the following from release:

Quote

Owners of MODO DRUM 1.0 and other qualifying IK products can log into their IK user account and add MODO DRUM 1.5 to cart to see the special crossgrade and upgrade pricing available to them, starting as low as $/€79.99 for the full version.

It likes my AXE I/O too, as well as my three Steinberg MR816s daisychained, but I haven't tried on anything else.

Keep posting those sweet free games, Abe!

Agreed.  Hint, there is another one and it's pretty dang good too.

Link works, goes to the group buy news which has an update about the new multis.  The main Group Buy page is updated too.

And less than a year ago they added free Crossplay: 

https://borderlands.com/en-US/news/2021-06-24-borderlands-3-crossplay-update/

(P.s.: this is real fun. The last game I played a bit was Borderlands 2 from 2012.)

Allegedly Sony is joining the crossplay fun soon (unofficially hearing June).  Borderlands is one of my favorite series of games and I think Borderlands 3 really improved a lot of gameplay and "quality of life" elements from the previous.  Recommended, especially for free.  The DLCs are good too, even if the fourth one (the Krieg DLC) is too short.

I've picked up every Borderlands on every platform I have, currently I'm enjoying BL3 on both Xbox Series X and PC and also Tiny Tina's Wonderlands on Xbox Series X (but will grab it on PC when it is on sale there).

I KNEW I should have waited before getting into the SYN2GB.  :-( 

That's the opposite of what I was saying.  Flagships are things like AmpliTube, T-RacKS, SampleTank.  MODO BASS 2 is not going to trigger TS4 coming out.

We'd likely need one more flagship full version update in there before v4 drops.

Oh snap, I don't think I can delete my own thread but mods can?

Sorry about that I ran down the page and must have seen something shiny or a squirrel.  Maybe a shiny squirrel?

We have released SampleTank 4.2.0 which adds drag-and-drop sample import functionality to the app along with extended sample import control plus a few maintenance updates.

What’s New in SampleTank 4.2.0

• Added drag-and-drop sample import functionality
• Expanded options for user sample import
• Updated user manual with new sample import information
• Fixed a bug on the Layer Panel where notes could get stuck while scrolling
• General reliability improvements

Log in to IK Product Manager to update or get SampleTank 4 on the IK site

Is the sale still on? I didn't get a chance to buy it over the weekend.

I went to the IK site and didn't see a link. Sure I seen the group buy promo but no link to actually buy it.

The group buy page https://www.ikmultimedia.com/syntronik2gb has links to all 33 Syntronik 2 synth choices for entry.

JT Music seems to be very bitter that he bought Modo Drums at a discount and then didn't get a free upgrade to the next version when it came out soon after. That has been his song since then whenever he talks about IKM. I think what he was actually saying in this rant was that when Modo Bass 2.0 comes out, users will have to pay $149 again for the upgrade. I think what he wants to see is a free upgrade to the 2.0 engine and then have a custom shop to be able to purchase the additional instruments added to 2.0.

That has been stated from the beginning, there will be MODO BASS 2 CS.  So they're either not reading, that's not what they really want (I think someone expects both upgrades for free), or something else.  Purchasing the new basses individually will definitely be more costly than the special upgrade price.

Good idea on getting my raincoat out Pete. So whenever that free keyboard controller arrives I'll be ready ?

But I thought this lyric was about you:  "But @InstrEd never wears a mac in the pouring rain, very strange"

Will you drop it already? Nobody around here cares about you little rants. You have said your piece; got your message out; now move on.

At first I thought that was for me/IK and I was like "I know, I know!  MODO BASS 2 will drop soon, I promise!".  Glad I was wrong, but gives me another opportunity to thank you for your patience (even if you didn't really have any, trust me I know the feeling and would not throw stones).

And @InstrEd, make sure you tuck that free MIDI controller under your coat if it is raining!

You shouldn't have to wait.  The Syner-V installation in IK Product Manager was fixed shortly after issues were reported.  IK Support can iron out anything beyond that.  I don't know of other issues with the synths, they should be like they are for many a quick few clicks inside IK Product Manager and done.
