But @huskeras a new customer, has no Jam Points yet, so I didn't mention that in my reply to his question. Great point though!!! I did something like that myself, and it worked. So now I have 2 qualifying products, and 10 freebies!!! ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Boileau Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 (edited) MixBox is a bit mysterious to me in the sense that if you have most IK plugins in their TRacks form why would you want them again in the form of MixBox? There is probably something I am missing and need to research this a little more... Edit: But I can really see what someone new to IK could gain from this incredible collection!

I have 51 Jampoints from some freebies and an old XChange collection. So now my thought process may change. I buy 200 credit pack AND a 50 credit pack, I can use my 51 Jampoints to make that purchase $158.98. I now have 250 Credits (they combine, right?) - so now I can buy Syntronik Delux for $250, then my freebies can all be $250 or less. Is this correct? Is this "Custom SHop" on the IK website?

The "Entry Point" is based on what product you buy, and Gear Credits don't count as a product. Your best bet is to buy the 200 Credits for $112 using 48 Jampoints and buying Amplitube 5. That will put you in the Group Buy at the $200 level, so all the $199.99 crossgrades would be in your reach... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he was referring to stacking 200+50 GC in Custom shop, and buying in at the $249 level with a single purchase there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zolton Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I think husker's right that buying Syntronik Deluxe (with or without JP) would qualify for a higher level of freebie choice, but there are a couple of things to note about that specific case: 1. At least for me, it's listed at $269, rather than $250. 2. As pointed out on the KVR thread, Deluxe might not be a great GB value, because there aren't many (or any?) potential freebies in the range between $199 and $269. 3. If you buy Syntronik (regular), you should be eligible for the "Syntronik Deluxe Upgrade" as a single freebie that bridges the gap between (vanilla) Syntronik and Deluxe. So you lose one freebie, but save some cash. Or JamPoints. Or something. Definitely not sanity at this point, as it all makes our heads spin. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Still trying to figure out what that is). I missed that you were thinking of getting an instrument, rather than Amplitube. Only certain things can be bought with GC in Custom Shop. Syntronik ain't one of them. You could step up to a higher level of Amplitube or T-RackS, for instance. Edit: to correct misinfo about Custom Shop. It looks like they also now have select SampleTank instruments in Custom Shop. My bad earlier! Syntronik is in there!

Larry Shelby Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share Posted August 19, 2021 You would be MUCH better off Buying Syntronik at $199.99 with 200 Gear Credits at $112 with 48 Jampoints and taking the "Deluxe" upgrade as a FREEBIE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is reminding me of a hybrid finance/account course where the teacher was coming up with all sorts of weird combinations of what ifs ? 30 years later I thought I wouldn't have to go through this again. IK should bump the count at 500 just for the headaches we are all getting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
