Thanks MickGael. For what its worth, you know that over the years I have had a lot of influence on IK, especially with SR's heavy involvement in things. Sometimes it is very difficult to predict development timing. However, measures are being taken both at IK and SR to try to be much more accurate and hold off announcing too early. That's why you don't even get to see all that we have coming for the next virtual instrument and ST format libraries just yet. Better they are a surprise just before their release.

Hopefully a bad taste in one's mouth can be washed out with good tasting things. That's how I look at it. For example, AT2 even took longer than expected and some expected ship dates were missed. However, at least it is because of years of hard work to make it exist the way it is now which many people find to be a superb product that was worth the wait. I genuinely think so myself. Granted, it is easy to say especially now that it IS available and we can't go back in time. Best to look forward anyway on these things.

Anyway, I hope you really enjoy your AmpliTube 2 and get a lot out of it. Cheers.

See? Always a gentleman...

Now, waiting for my e-mail...

It would be very nice if it arrives before leaving the office for the day. No access at home, and not keen to have to drive in just to check my email

I can't see any further emails sent before the weekend. Please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm still keeping my hopes up.

I got my free upgrade e-mail too,
but does this mean they won't be sending a boxed version
to free upgraders ?

There is no boxed version (the the app is exactly the same of course). But, if you mean are they sending the physical materials such as the box and manuals etc. then no. However, you might be able to get the box and printed manuals if you really wanted it by asking elijah@esoundz.com or you can try asking IK but I'd wait a few months to ask for the box and manuals because they will be busy with everything else. It's not supposed to come with it but that doesn't mean you can't ask for it (maybe have to pay nominal shipping cost for that because that is a different size shipment than what was planned... I think an envelope with the key in it etc.).

If I'm understanding this email right,
this means I'm waiting 8-10weeks just for the USB Key....
I've looked for the USB Key which is sold here
and it costs about $40 in US currency!

Actually you can get it here: http://www.esoundz.com/details/viewDeta ... uctID=1358

For less. But, in some places you can get it for even less than that. email elijah@esoundz.com and tell him Squids said to give you the best deal possible on the Ikey. If you've bought something from esoundz he'll give you a killer deal. Even if you haven't he'll hook you up best he can.

Thanks for the really clear & easy-to-understand reply, Squids!
I actually bought AT1 from esoundz for this AT2 free upgrade

And thanks for the link too!

...please
Actually, SR does have an announcement of 40 new products that we're making right now. However, it is a shipping announcement (well, no shipping, they are downloadable Rex Packs from www.esoundz.com ). Still... good sign of the new announcement to release initiative program.

Ok, so enough with AT2..old news

where the d/l mini-profiles that AREN"T from the SE?

kemik · Post by **kemik** » Fri Mar 31, 2006 11:37 pm

They wont provide any demo?

Sascha Franck · Post by **Sascha Franck** » Fri Mar 31, 2006 11:43 pm

The demo will be released "this" month.
Probably when AT5 is out.

Ordered AT2 today from Squids based entirely on the mp3's. Even if it's not astounding, I couldn't pass it up for the super-secret Squids member discount price (let's just say it's nice and manageable). I had A1 LE and thus also got the cross-grade price for CSR...(boy am I happy I bought Tracktion 2

).

I'll post some comments when I get it.

Amplitube 2 Jimi Hendrix RELEASED this month!!!
