We all really need to promote it like hell. Quickly. Many people need some time to think about it and they need to get the message today!!!
Here is my target for all of us: At least 20 threads in different forums - go, go, go.
Remember that Squids might throw in even more, if we do a good job on this one.

Let's see how high you can get the numbers. If it was over 400 like the original Sonic Synth 1 group buy then I might consider throwing in the World Traveler disc (another $200 product) on top.

That'll be our extra reward, he'll do it as I know him - just paddle real har guys.

Cool - you got a referral then.
I've been enjoying your posts in this forum for some time - thought you could use some extra ePointz.

How does this referral epointz work in a groupbuy? It states the referralpoints doesn't apply to groupbuy.

If someone use my username "flynn", will I get epointz, but not the person placing the order, or will none of us get it?

The epointz get applied to your next purchase, not this one. I hope I wasn't misleading about the scenerio with the minus $50 epointz = $9 thing. That's obviously cost averaged with your next purchase. We couldn't really just sell this on its own for $9. But, in credit it is the same thing (you just have to get something else is all... consider that yet ANOTHER refill for free! If you are able to collect 10 referals that is).

Squids, it wasn't the use of epointz i was referring to, but the earning.

The "what's a groupbuy" text at esoundz states the referralfunction doesn't apply for groupbuys.

(but I did a search in this forum and found a thread mention you've reinstated this function, so it's propably a typo in the text.)

Yes, that was a text error that has just been fixed. Good catch! But, the epointz does work for group buys (and helps them get bigger too). When you enter a referal you get $5 in epointz and so does the person you refer. So, you might as well mention SOMEONE (even Squids will work) because you get $5. credit on your next purchase.

This is semi tempting. Not sure I need ST to load up any slower than it does at present though. Could do with the percussion though....

[kovacs]

I'm on the fence here. Just bought NI Komplete so I am waiting to see what sort of samples come with Kontakt 2 (since I already know Kompakt and own ST2XL plus the capsules from a previous GB)...

[Squids]

We did some of the sounds for Kontakt 2. We even did a surround sound cathedral organ for it!

This group buy will be a nice addition to that set up (of course I WOULD say that wouldn't I! )

[ozinexile]

I don't know how Squids does it? Just yesterday I was thinking I needed to expand my range of ethnic and world sounds and today I read about the group buy, another one I won't be able to refuse.

One quick question, are the Dobro licks contained in the Acoustic Folk pack the same as in the download section at esoundz?

[Rainman]

Just signed up, don't have many sounds offerred in this group buy. Looking forward to it, regardless of where the price ends up (although multi-platform support would be nice).

Hey Squids, I'm just curious, but how many samples were used per instrument on average for these (how many notes per sample and how many velocity levels, etc) and what bit depth were they recorded at? For example, are any of the dulcimer instruments fully chromatic multi sampled? I'm also wondering if any special articulations or phrases will be included.

I'm hoping we can have more discussion about what's included in these products. That might help increase participation and interest.

I think so. Maybe a few are different though.
