Hello everyone.
What was the lowest deal price for Synthogy Ivory 2 - American Concert D?
Also, I can't remember other than Black Friday -New Year deal on it. Any chance to get the deal sooner?

Do you mean VSTBuzz credits?

Nah those are also pretty lame and misleading too; I'm saving mine up for Vox Arcanum. I think most other retailers have a better discount system for sure and you also can't buy anything for less than 10 dollars on the KVR Marketplace, that part definitely seems a bit weird.

Wow that’s absolute garbage.
I’m never buying ANYTHING from them.
That is only the soundbanks. The effects and amps can be redownloaded at any time.

It is very frustrating though when your computer dies and you can't find the back up of those.
I back up everything to an external drive.

Yes. So do I. Finding it took hours. It was back when most of my backup drives had a TB or less of space and didn't hold much. I have a drawer (or 2) full of them. Sad, I know.

I've been working on organizing everything so it is easier to find. But I will be the first to admit I have too much stuff and Sampletank and Miroslav are not something I really think about on my computer. I use Sampletank more on my iPad.

I will definitely get Destroyed Six for $5!
Also really like the sound of PRIPYAT PIANOS
but that purchase will have to wait for another sale.

Edit: Got it!

what do you think about it? can't really find discussion on strix instruments online.

i might be interested in Kangling as well. the demo makes me sort of wonder though. they have a delay on it on EVERYTHING. the notes also seem to have a sort of weird and non-consistent shape. is it usable as an instrument or is it just an effect?

You can't really play Kangling as a pitched instrument (short of resampling individual notes) - it's more of an effect though you might get some use out of feeding it to a granulator. Without the reverb, it's quite, um, farty in sound. Overall, in terms of usage, it's similar to Soundiron's Death Whistle - don't pitch it. Use single bursts or very short phrases as a motif or background effect.

However, you don't just get the bone flute with Kangling. There are the two metallophones as well.

The Destroyed Six is worth the $5. I only played with it a bit basically to check that it works. I will likely use it as a layer to my felt pianos.

It is still showing as $139.99 for me at IKM. I decided to get it if they are switching around prices since I have 48 Jampoints.

So the question is, if I wait to authorize it until summer, can I use it for the group buy purchase?

With Jampoints its 139 but without its also 179. IK just screws me over with the 1:1 dollar euro conversion and the VAT
