IK Multimedia 2025 All-in Group Buy - up to 50x1

[Brian Walton]

Prior to this group buy, I already had the vast majority of IKM products  (in part thanks to multiple group buy ins in previous years).

As a massive TONEX fan, I was glad to grab the new signature collections that I didn't have yet - even if EVH and Engl isn't my thing.  

But the biggest surprise for me is how much I like the Pianoverse options.  Yes, they are pretty large libraries, but they seem to be recorded RAW and close mic'd so there is a lot of freedom in how to process them - and they are extremely dynamic and responsive.  Easily among the best piano VSTs overall that I've tried.

I picked up the ARC Studio for $249.99 - $75 JamPoints, as I had 70 JamPoints that were expiring.  I’ll only be able to redeem the four most recent TONEX signature collections as freebies.

In retrospect, I probably didn’t need to buy the Total Studio 5 MAX upgrade for $79.99 (for T-RackS 6 MAX, Pianoverse MAX, and TONEX Signature Collections Vol. 1) but I can’t complain that it was a bad deal.

I agree!

I have a *lot* of top-tier piano libraries (VI Labs, VSL, Garritan, Kawai Legend, Noire/Claire + oodles of others) and the Pianoverse instruments have surprised me in a really good way.

I was expecting something almost Sampletank-y, but these are very, very good. They're not as refined as some of the others, and IK continue to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory by misleading you on just how much drive space you need to install them, but I will get a lot of use and pleasure out of these instruments!

When they were released I didn't really even glance at them expecting more of a specialized Sampletank type of ordeal or simply not worth the drive space as the size of the collection is a bit out of hand (thankfully they can be loaded on an external SSD - otherwise I wouldn't have installed them).  Honestly I never know with IKM what to expect with quality as the release MSRP pricing tends to be ostentatious and not necessarily in line with value.  Therefore I was pleasantly surprised these (like TONEX) are class leading.

Did you get Master EQ with your T-Racks 6 purchase?  When I get the newish T-Rack6 it was before that came out, so nice to grab that as part of the group buy here.

I agree re: Pianoverse—high quality pianos at the expense of disk space and CPU.  Highly recommended.  If you want specific recommendations, I’d start with Y7 (Yamaha C7) in full band mix or NY or Hamburg (U.S. or German Steinway) for solo piano.  But it’s nice to get them all.

I have the Natural presets favorited for all the pianos, as that’s the basic preset.

I had refunded my original T-RackS 6 purchase.  I got T-RackS 6 MAX with the TS 5 MAX upgrade which has everything.

+10 for using the word "ostentatious" on a deals forum...

Something to aspire to!

Or...something to which I should aspire? Am now focused on vocab and grammar!

Amplitube SE is $99,99 but I don't see in my list of prizes to choose. I got 2 other SE (Tonex SE and Modo Bass SE) as prizes without problems.

They corrected it

I really dont understand this promo.
If I buy a Amplitube 5 in PLuginboutique (now 29$ -https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/2-Effects/18-Amp-Simulator/12669-AmpliTube-5 ), do I qualify for the promotion? AKA -> Do I get up to 50 products?

 

Or is it, I cannot get ToneX as part of the promotion? IK -.-

 

This is so confusing. FAQ doesn't explain anything at all

I'm pretty sure it's already been confirmed as ineligible for getting the freebies . They could for sure work on making.their conditions a bit more clear though!

Amplitube 5 and ToneX (standard) are excluded. IK does not advertise these vesions anymore.

ToneX (standard) is a free pick if you qualify at the $199.99 level.

Audio plugin deals and use the rewards to down the price to the base in valid products.

Sorry - maybe I missed the information somewhere - Can I use JamPoints in the initial purchase for the Group Buy?

CAN I USE MY JAMPOINTS REWARD DISCOUNT TO PURCHASE QUALIFYING SOFTWARE?

Yes, loyal users can use their JamPoints when purchasing from the IK Online Store.

From the FAQs.

ADDENDUM: You might not have clicked on the red "Frequently Asked Questions" button on the promo campaign page which should bring up a section that starts with:

This link ...

https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/?S1=437&S2=440

...specifically states "But 1 get 30 sw free" (thirty  as it stands at the moment) .. for the Tonex pedal

[Danilo Neubern]

Then in this case:

https://www.bestservice.com/de/tonex_max_amplitube_5_max_v2_bundle.html

If I buy this bundle, since the Amplitube MAX is included, can I get the free software?

I'm also confused about the number of free software. Since for example: T-Racks pro comes with a bunch of of modules in the list (about 60 in total?), does it counts as ONE, or each module in the pro counts as one less software you can get for free?

SO glad I jumped on TS5 Max last month so I don’t have to deal with IK’s typical confusing language and gotcha’s.

One serial is that matters. When, for example, you buy T-RackS 6, some modules are activated, but you still can redeem the same modules that  were not single registered.
