Sonic Station owners that don't also have Sonic Synth 1 qualify for the $199. upgrade and that offer doesn't expire at the end of the year (for a variety of reasons, but one of them being that Sonic Station was an esoundz exclusive product so everyone who bought it is known by us and thus "registered" automatically... this is not the case with Sonic Synth 1 which was sold all over the world).

Sonic Station owners that also own Sonic Synth 1 too qualify for an even lower upgrade offer than that actually (the ONLY people that do because this is a special consideration for us changing format support which is something we rarely do.). This will be a limited time offer. But, it will extend into next year.

This is why I love you guys. Talk about real Menschen! Thanks so much Dave.

Money management! Got to learn that now.

And I wouldn't be surprised if you got a further discount again on a Friday because Squids had decided to celebrate the end of the working week.

Squids - I just can't keep track of your discounts - particularly to previous supporters of your products.

I'm beginning to think if I'm a customer long enough eventually I won't even have to pay any more of your products.

I can imagine it now - if you bought SS1, SS2, SonicStation and Studiophonik we've decided to give you the rest of our catalogue for free as a thankyou.

Well - before you thank me for giving me a discount let me thank you for valuing the customers you have now and the customers you will have tomorrow.

I can tell you that Dave, Synthdan and the crew at Esoundz are the real deal. They have given me so much support. I do my part by spreading the word - when I work with other musicians I tell them or show them the value of the SR products I use - whether it's in my home studio or with some of my tracks. For example I was speaking with a Studio owner here in Montreal who loves SampleTank2 but was unaware of the Capsules -m I think he will be checking out Esoundz today after my testimonial.

I bought ST2XL at Guitar Center. I'd like to get the sounds upgrade for SS2. I can prove that I bought it with my receipt to esoundz...

but here's the rub...

wife is asking for Christmas list and I'd like to be able to put this on there. What's the easy way for me to be able to tell her she can just order it and HER not have to worry about not getting the upgrade price?

Please assist.
Thanks,
Blades

That's easy. Just email sales@esoundz.com yourself and/or call 954 846 9447 and/or fax in your receipt and a note saying that you want to "pre-qualify" for the crossgrade for when your wife (put her name on that note or have her put your name on the order) places the order.

You see, ANYONE can place the order for the upgrade/crossgrade here: http://www.esoundz.com/details/viewDeta ... er=details

But, the product doesn't actually go out the door until it is verified that the person qualifies for it. So, if they purchased either ST2 XL or SS1 from esoundz.com then they automatically qualify (because we can look that up- simple as that). But, if they didn't then they can still qualify but they have to contact us or fax a receipt in order to have it sent. There's no problem with doing that in advance to be pre-qualified.

Thanks Gordon. Word of mouth can never be understimated or underappreciated. I know that this is the key to our success. To be honest, it goes both ways and one of the reasons we ARE so generous is because our customers do so many great things to help keep us on top. So, it's nice to have that kind of thing where one feeds or inspires the other. To me that's sort of how commerce "should" work really. But, so many people are used to getting screwed (particularly by monopoly companies who don't HAVE to compete or companies that can just add hidden charges to your bills and or turn off your service or whatever). Anyway, because of THAT too we like to be extra cool. It kind of balances out hopefully. Purchasing services and goods should be rewarding and fun. I always like to feel good about my purchases too.

I certainly do here!

Do I understand correctly that the ST2 crossgrade for SS2 will last longer, into the new year than the SS1 upgrade ending at the end of this month/year? If so, how much longer? Any extra time at all will make this so much more doable for me, and even make it possible to get the drum groub buy. I do have the dough, and will pull the trigger if I absolutely have to, but later might be better than sooner for me.

Well, okay. I'll tell you. At the $199 price you have until the end of the year. We "might" extend it another couple of weeks but please don't count on that. I am open to it but have to make sure everyone here wants to do that (because, to be honest, after all has been said and done it is actually too cheap for this 5,000 sound 8.5 gig product!).

But, we may continue a $299. upgrade/crossgrade for a while next year. How long I don't know though.

Thanks for the clarification, Squids. $199 is, as I said earlier in this thread, too good to be true. It is certainly appropriate to get the price up to a more realistic level, and you've been more than fair to have such a steal of an intro cross/upgrade price. I only asked because a couple of things have come up that need to be done with my studio and the windows of opportunity and need overlap just a little less comfortably than I'd like, but I'm in for sure within the original deadline.

When we came up with the $199. introductory upgrade discount it had been excpected to be a 5 gig sound set with most of Sonic Synth 1's legacy sounds taking up at least 1/3 of it. But, it ended up being over 8 gigs with Sonic Synth 1 legacy material being maybe 1/7 of it and even programmed differently. So, it has become so much of its own new thing.

However, we like to reward the people that supported the first one. Many Sonic Synth 1 users have already pre-ordered the upgrade to Sonik Synth 2.

When can we hear more sounds?

Squids · Post by **Squids** » Fri Dec 10, 2004 4:11 am

Very soon you'll be able to hear more sounds and maybe even some music demos. Also, there's a video being worked on too that I did.

Does that mean I won't need my SS1 sounds anymore - it's all encompassed in SS2?

I would keep your SS1 around. It definitely has a lot of sounds that are NOT in SS2. You may like those sounds. Also, if you used it with ST2 in your music then you may want to call those songs up with recall of the sounds.

Sonik Synth 2 is really a whole new thing. Even the part of it that expanded on the original sound set has been altered, enhanced or turned into an element for new even cooler sounds.
