Get ready. This one is going to be good! The eSoundz Group Buy is back and this time we're timing it along with a fantastic promo from IK on all IK and IK/SR virtual instruments. Only $99 each!

Traditionally we've "raised the deal" by offering more sounds on top from eSoundz all for the same amount of money. That's a good enough reason to get any of them from www.esoundz.com starting TODAY (promo and our group buy ends May 31st). So, this is going to run for two months. Plenty of time to spread the word and benefit with epointz referrals (someone can explain what that is if you don't know) and even better... MORE SampleTank sounds including previously unreleased sounds from the Miroslav Orchestra archives, SampleMoog, SampleTron, Sonik Synth and more!

I'll be updating this first post with more information as it comes. But the basic concept is that for every 100 people that buy ANY of the 5 IK virtual instruments of the promo from www.esoundz.com there will be an additional set of bonus sounds given away to ALL that have purchased any of the IK virtual instruments from the promo on esoundz. (Limit of 1,000 people and 10 additional sound bonuses).

We'll update the counter on the news page which I will post soon. It won't be real time because there are 5 different products that qualify. But I will try to keep you up to date in here as well on this first post.

As a fun extra, if there are any esoundz customers who already own all of these virtual instruments we'll make you a fine deal. Participate in this thread and spread the word around. Not only will you earn epointz but we're going to select active participators to be able to receive the bonus sounds for FREE just for getting involved (the ones that already own these virtual instruments). So that makes this group buy for EVERYONE.

Here's the news page with the links to each of the products in the promo and we'll update the number of people who have purchased any of the qualifying VI products there at least once a day. I'll also update the number in this post as well.

FINAL NUMBER FOR THE GROUP BUY IS: 432

THE FOURTH TIER ON THE GROUP BUY IS HIT!!! FOUR FREE additional SampleTank libraries of your choice for those that purchased any of the VI in this Hot Buy from www.esoundz.com this month. PLUS as a special bonus and thank you we're giving everyone who joins the group buy a FREE exclusive Miroslav Outtakes collection for SampleTank available for download soon!

So, are these download products and do you get immediate delivery upon purchase?

Squids, it doesn't sound like we get to choose the extra sounds that come as the bonus... if I could I would join, but I am not interested in getting some "extra" sounds that are not really desirable to me/my style. Clutter is not good. Just my thought.

It's possible we can make it a multiple choice for the extra sounds if that's what people want. Not all of them would be previously unreleased material though of course but some people have everything and that's what they want and others like perhaps yourself just want to cherry pick the sounds they want the most. Makes sense. I'll confirm whether we're going to do that some time next week.

oh, i'd join if i don't already have all of the five...
can you add another GB choice like "extra sounds and/or XT only"?

[edit: English translation. i tried to say "i already have 5" but the earlier post
could be read differently...]

And I, as a Japanese in Tokyo, have to thank every one who joins this GB for your kind support for earthquake/tsunami and the nuke power plant disaster in Japan.

As an owner of all 5 virtual instruments, this offer will not disappoint. Sample Tank is like the mothership where you can have all the sounds of Miroslav Philharmonik, Sonik Synth 2, SampleMoog, and SampleTron at your disposal with only opening one app. Now how cool is that to have five synths in one? No longer do you need to open up each one to search for your sounds, it's all there. Squids gave me that tip and much more. If you play out live or carry a laptop you'll definitely appreciate the convenience. The Sample Tank engine has it's own uniqueness that other samplers can't do.

I paid double the price and more originally for these virtual instruments but then again I've been using them all this time because they were all worth their original price. For what their selling this, giving you epoints and adding all the bonus material, it's just too crazy not to pass up. I've been doing business with Esoundz and been involved in numerous GB's and never have seen a company go the extra mile to please even an "asshole" but that's what they do. I say this because there's not many people or companies that give a shit about their customer base and I feel people need to know this and that makes a difference to me at least.

Gotta look this one over. Sampletank and its cousins are fantastic. Participated in most esoundz group buys over the past couple of years. They do not disappoint.

We were thinking about doing that for people that already have all 5 but want to join so they can get the extras. Maybe we'll come up with other options to "get in". Since this is a 2 month promo we have time to perhaps even release something new in ST for that. I'll keep you guys posted if we do. But for now nothing is official. It's just an evolving thing. Starts with the promo which is already good as it is. $99 for any of the 5 SampleTank-based IK Virtual Instruments. Then the more people buy it from www.esoundz.com (and each time they buy a VI it counts as another number so some people are buying more than one - and that can really increase the numbers more than usual) the more extra sounds will be thrown in and this time it could really get good - especially with cool exclusive unreleased material. For instance, the Miroslav outtakes which include riffs and other performance articulations are something that may ONLY be available through this Group Buy and not for sale at all afterwards. The reason for that is my arrangement for MIroslav material in ST format with IK. I got special permission to release these "secret sounds" in ST format just this one time so... this will likely be the only way to get it. (similar to the SampleTron extras from Squids Tron... except you can still get that and purchase whereas this won't be available for purchase most likely, just as a bonus in this).

I am all for it. This was IK's worldwide effort as EVERY sale from every dealer counts toward that goal. Every bit helps and the world cares, especially the thinking and feeling musicians.
