No, and we haven't heard from Squids on kvr. I think it'll have to at least wait until Monday.

(BTW, he is in Vancouver recording with Simon Collins.)

If you ordered from eSounds, the serial number/code will be in your eSoundz.com user area, but maybe not until Monday, since it has to added manually.

If you ordered from IK, you should get an automated message with the code. Once you have the code, from either source, you can start downloading your stuff from your IK user area.

It'll start showing up in your user area on Monday or Tuesday. We had an issue that had to be worked out first so it is a little late. But, the good news is that we've added more choices! Hang in there... it'll be a really great freebie!

An email was supposed to go out last week but we had a problem with our new mailing system that has been worked out so a fresh email at the beginning of the week is coming.

More Expansion Tank choices like Latin or Brass
Or more Esoundz freebie's?
I would be in for a third buy if more Xpansion tanks lib choices were available.

No doubt the freebies will be very nice, but there's not 5 or 6 more Xpansion tank libs I need unless some new choices are included.

grrrrr a fast one!!!
if you had only one choise

Vocal collection or Symphony strings ?

I know we are talking about 2 completely different things but i cant decide...

Id love a have a good strings collection just in case even if i dont use strings generally.

Also i never use vocals (as vocals) but with some good and reach vocal waveforms you can do some very interesting sound design. mystery mads - fx or whatever..

Vocal collection

I was not a huge fan of those strings.

Whoopee .. 7 year old sounds. What do you think of those sample packs so far?

The strings were not very pretty as far as I remember. The "interactive drums" sounds nothing in quality to the Akai CDRom originally released. Piano's were ok. A few usable electric guitar sounds. For more acoustic sounds -not the greatest. For vintage- pretty good.

i've been using st sounds almost exclusively lately. i just got through using st for a demo for a friend's vocals

musicdoc in another thread wrote:I pointed this out on the group buy forum, but apparently there are many fanboys there. They'll learn once they start getting their sounds.

welcome back

has anyone learned their lesson yet?

He has 13 posts and wants to make a name for himself. At least that's my guess.

to musicdoc, we get it that you don't like the sounds. Made your point. Apparently a few people disagree with you... rememeber that there are 3281 registrations at this point. So move along. I doubt we'll be willing to get into a fight with you over the GB.

Hmm, you must really hate any sounds made with a sine wave- now that is just archaic.
Even Omnisphere uses samples that are decades old. Not that I am comparing ST with Omnisphhere (totally different beasts).

@Squids: regarding the 30 posts in well known blogs and forums. Here is another one on the (at least in Germany) well known website Plugindex:

IK Groupbuy post (in German)

Hope this helps reaching the little extra...

"Exclusive 1 gigabyte "Wild Card" bonus library featuring previously unreleased ST sounds from SR and more"

Still no word on what the content will be................

The esoundz website still shows:

"NOW YOU GET 4 FOR 1 PLUS an EXCLUSIVE CHOICE OF ADDITIONAL LIBRARY FROM SONIC REALITY"

IK Multimedia is doing all the leg work for this GB and the fine folks here are working their tails off to take this to the next level. The least you could do is keep your site updated and deliver on your end.............
