Some really good news for anyone who owns ANY IK product. IK is running a promotion that starts today and goes until the end of the year where ownership of ANY IK product qualifies you to be able to purchase ANY of the IK crossgrade or upgrade products. So, what does that mean? It means that if you own any of the following products:

TRacks, TRacks24, TRacksEQ(yes, the one that comes with ProTools), AmpliTube full, Amplitube Live or LE, SampleTank 1 or 2 LE, L, XL, Expansion Tank, Sonik Capsule, Sonik Synth 1 or 2, Miroslav Philharmonik, Groovemaker or EZMixer... in other words ANY commercial IK product (so, not including the free demos like SampleTank FREE... but it DOES include the versions that are OEM bundled with ProTools, Cakewalk, Mackie, Emu etc.) and the fact that you are registered for that product allows you to purchase and get authorized for any of the following upgrade or crossgrade discounted products (full versions, just discounted for owning an IK product already). These products can be purchased right now from any IK dealer that stocks the upgrade and crossgrade versions. Of course, esoundz stocks them all so here are the links. If you own ANY IK products you can now get any of the following products for their crossgrade or upgrade discount which will save you a lot of money. This is one of those rare opportunities. A window of time for a great deal during the holidays. It has never been done before and who knows if it ever will be again! Here is what you can get:

Miroslav Philharmonik which is normally $599. MSRP you can get for this:

or Sonik Synth 2

http://www.esoundz.com/details/viewDeta ... ductID=242

SampleTank 2 XL

http://www.esoundz.com/details/viewDeta ... ductID=171

Or ST2.1, TRackS and AmpliTube 1 & 2 all in a Studio Bundle here:

http://www.esoundz.com/details/viewDeta ... ductID=193 (AT2 shipped out to you later)

Or you can get BOTH AmpliTube 1 AND AmpliTube 2 (because if you get AT1 now it qualifies for a free upgrade to AT2) for the most absurd low price you can possibly imagine. I don't want to mention the price here in the forum but have a look for yourself. So, if you own let's say even a SampleTank version, even an LE or SE, then you can pick up AmpliTube 1 and 2 for this:

http://www.esoundz.com/details/viewDeta ... ductID=192

Ok, if I really want to get car salesman on you I will say BUY NOW, DON'T WAIT, ZERO PERCENT FINANCING (we don't have that... but we DO have epointz money for refering other people to buy this stuff... you could end up with one of these for even less). All joking aside, we want to keep you informed when there is a good deal to be had. This is one of the best I have seen!

Here's another one you can get:

http://www.esoundz.com/details/viewDeta ... ductID=194

If any users of these products want to chime in with comments, please feel free. This is the time all IK users should seriously be considering what other products you can get while this is going on. I am available to answer questions as well as Kim who uses a lot of IK products as well.

Of course, you can go visit IK web sites to investigate further:

$188.10? I don't know where you got that price from. The SampleTank 2XL upgrade is a bit higher than that. But, the concept you have right at least. Whatever you can buy the crossgrades for basically. From any dealer.

Squids-
You made my day. You may have gotten wind about how Native Instruments completely screwed their "Komplete Care" customers by essentially charging them twice for the same products on their current upgrade path. As a result, they won't see any of my money for quite some time. But then along comes IK/Sonic with an early Xmas present for its customers. I've been waiting for something like this to snap up Amplitube and T-Racks. That plus the new ST 2.1 sounds will round out my studio quite nicely. You guys rock. Keep up the good work.

alright, i own AT1 (NOT eligible for free upgrade) and ST2L. for $429, i could get T-Racks, ST2.1XL (with XL and XL 2.1 sounds?), and AT1 again BUT with free upgrade to AT2 (when registered)?

Let's see: T-Racks alone = $319, ST2L to ST2.1XL upgrade = $279 (that includes extra XL sounds and 2.1 sounds?), and AT1 to AT2 upgrade $299. So thats = $897 if i did it all seperately.

is that right?

Squids,

Quick question...I've read (at least I think I have) that AT2 is going to use an iKey. If I get the upgrade to AT1 now, is my free AT2 upgrade going to be a boxed version with an iKey in the box?

Thanks,
Rob

Please, we ask the people don't share publicly "their price" which differs depending on if you are a silver, gold or platinum member or if you have epointz etc.

However, now I understand that this is the old Upgrade 1 which was for ST1XL users. That's been discontinued so unless you already purchased it (which of course we will honor) that page will no longer have that price in about 10 minutes.

It should have already been taken out. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Usually it is sent Global Priority US mail which is typically about 7 days average overseas. But, I am not sure if Global goes to Italy so it may take longer. My guess is 2 weeks max though. Nice to get free shipping though! Of course you can choose a faster method such as UPS or Fedex that you pay for but it is not cheap. The money you save on the promo could possibly justify it but that is your call. Either way, great deal huh?

Ha ha, yeah, only Jesus could deliver it across that much water.

Squids, what will the final cost for the AT2 upgrade be for AT1 users who aren't eligable for the free AT2 upgrade? I'm wondering if I should buy a second AT1 licence and get the free upgrade. Will there be a special upgrade price for esoundz platinum members??
