This has been up for a few days now. Any news on when Esoundz will allow us to pre-order.

Given I've bought ST1 and ST2 through Esoundz, I would like to continue to give them my custom.

I wondered too, but I read in another thread that Sweetwater has an exclusive deal for pre-ordering. I hope that I am wrong.

That is correct. eSoundz and all other dealers will be open to ST3 as soon as it becomes available.

Allen,
Any indication whether it might be worth eSoundz customers waiting for your offers to be available (the pre-order offer does appear interesting)? Thx

I'd like to know that too.

Given the price is going to rise once released, I'm worried it won't be worth waiting for, when I'd really like to give pennies to Esoundz.

Of course we appreciate the loyalty of our esoundz customers and will be providing some exclusive NEW sounds for SampleTank 3 for free to anyone who orders it from www.esoundz.com when it becomes available. More news on what those sounds are coming soon around the time the product is available which should be some time this Summer!

SampleTank 3 is a great virtual instrument and in my opinion it is worth the wait. I still use SampleTank 2.5 all the time and ST3 only takes the concept further with some really useful features and fx. The new sounds and patches we're going to do are going to be very inspiring for songwriters, producers, keyboardists and other musicians. Here we go!

Looking forward to some new eSoundz with the Key Switching feature...

Hopefully we will see a complete Brass library (Pop/Jazz/Latin) from you..

Thanks for the clarification Squids, understood!

So July 24th is the release date.

An update as to what we can expect from eSoundz?

Especially the price, given the 40 euro price hike on launch day. Is it worth waiting for eSoundz (whom I would perfer to order from) or not?

allen_esoundz · Post by **allen_esoundz** » Tue Jul 08, 2014 9:46 pm

We will follow the same pricing structure as IK. Which will be "introductory pricing" (for the first 2 months after release) and it will be as follows

• Upgrade $149.99/€119.99
• Crossgrade $199.99/€159.99
• Regular $299.99/€239.99

More info to come soon regarding what will be offered to those that purchase from eSoundz.

Thanks for the reply.

Obviously, that leaves me in a dilemma. Price now verses additional sounds (which may or may not be worth the price increase to me...). Think I want to cry now!

Given there is now a week to go (and I would still like to buy from you lovely people).

Any news as to what will be offered?

Received this earlier...

Sonic Reality and eSoundz have ALWAYS been the leading supplier of third party sounds for the SampleTank platform, and we plan to continue that tradition with SampleTank 3! All of our current SampleTank 2 titles will be updated to SampleTank 3 format after it is released. Until then, we are offering an amazing deal on our standard SampleTank libraries with a FREE UPGRADE to the SampleTank 3 version of the library when it is available: Just $10 EACH for all standard SampleTank 2 Instrument and ReTank libraries.

What features can we expect with the Sampletank 3 upgrade to our Sampletank 2 titles? And what will the cost of the upgrade be?

audientronic · Post by **audientronic** » Sat Jul 19, 2014 3:12 am

Are the sound upgrades free for existing customers as well?

Knock, Knock, Knock.... Is anyone home?

Oh well.
