TerraSin Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Is it just me or is the list of qualifying products much smaller this year than last? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't last year effects? They have a lot more effects than instruments. Mind you if you include the Syntronic and Sampletank instruments it pushes the numbers up a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleer Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I have a solution. Maybe the IK Group Buy should be more intrinsically value related. So, if you start with a $199 item, your next item (freebie) could be $199 each or two $99 items, or four $49 items. That way you don’t get the feeling of undervalued freebies. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I don't get it how iRig stuff being a hardware makes it disqualified as a free item. They could keep charging us for shipping at let us have more fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

telecode 101 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 If you are lucky this might hit 3 for 1. Looking at MODO series, you are looking at roughly $200 for 4 products -- so $50 each. It adds up to around 75% off sale based on the condition that you buy 4 items. If I recall, Syntronik and Sampletank were offered on quite steep discounted sales quite a few times this past year.

In the past they have extended the time and added additional levels for more freebies. Rocky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IK has bent over backwards quite a few times to make these BOGx free a success. IK can't be dinged on this one that's for sure!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think where this deal gets interesting is for people that don't really want sampletank or syntronik because they know they won't use all of it and have a good idea of what they will need. if it hits a 4 for 1 or 5 for 1, using it for individual items would be a real good thing to look into. for for example: at the $79 level: - hugh padhham drums - clavitube and then some Syntronik items that you know you will use. You don't blow away hard disk space with stuff you may rarely access and you get only what you want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InstrEd Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 You really have to write down all the prices to see which item to purchase first. I need time to digest this all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter - IK Multimedia Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) Note that the list on the page may appear smaller than previous because the SampleTank and Syntronik instruments (of which there are many) are represented as one card/link each. Also, note that the brand new IK Product Manager may be handy for many who are in or interested in this group buy: IK Product Manager now available Edited August 13, 2020 by Peter - IK Multimedia 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, MODO Drum/Bass are great, but their SE versions are just cut down versions; it doesn't make sense to me why someone might want both the 'full' and the 'reduced' versions.

About time!! Well I see this as win for me for about the umpteenth time!! Getting the Mini keyboard for $99 is a good deal. Then all the sound packs!!! I mean I already got Total Studio Max.. so I thought I would be left on the side watching this. But like Peter points out, there a lot of ST and Syntronik sound packs.

abacab Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) Ok, looking past the high ticket items like MODO and the Hammond, what are the best sound sets for ST4? I already have ST4 MAX, and Spaceport from the giveaway a while back. What are your favorites, if you have any of the others?
