Thank you for your reply. So, I'm wondering about this: I bought one of the plugins at the very beginning of the group buy. The IK website stated that if the number of buyers reaches 15.000, an additional 49 plugins could be received. It seems that this number will be reached soon. Will I receive the promised 49 plugins, or do I have to wait until the number of users reaches 40,000 ?

You'll probably want to ask here:

From kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=623801 (New IK Group Buy thread)

Adding the massive amount of hardware and software and lowering the entry price spiked the counter by thousands, this should have happened at that same time, my apologies that it didn't. Even through natural registration numbers of the hardware by people who don't even now that it is added, the group buy will grow at a rate that matches the updated tiers.

And as mentioned, failure is not an option with IK group buys so the calculations are not out of range to hit the top as originally expected. This will merely open the massive amount of free options to many more IK users in the end.

If they don't make it they always extend it anyway so no matter what you will get the "free" ones.

This one isn't going to run into November, most likely. So we'll need to ramp up to make the 50x1

49 free plugins will be available to you once 40,000 participants are reached. Please spread the word, participation and word of mouth is crucial as with any group buy. The tiers and final goal are stated on the Group Buy page at https://www.ikmultimedia.com/allingb2025

Thank you for your reply. To summarize, you changed the terms of the promotion (from 15,000 to 40,000 buyers) AFTER some of them had already made a purchase, thinking they would receive 49 plugins when the quantity reached 15.000. What's the guarantee that, for example, in two weeks, the terms won't change again and you'll set a new threshold—say, 60,000 ? Can current buyers be sure this won't happen ?

It scaled to all of the additional entry points we added to the group buy (lowering entry to 49.99 and also adding hardware of that value or more to the eligibility) so without anything to add and spike the numbers up again like happened there, I don't see that happening at all. The deadline is also set to October 31 so there's really no need to change anything. With all of those new options and people spreading the word as with any group buy, the peak can be reached with all of the new options to enter and choose. Just has to have some more push. Participants have reason to spread the word, so they can get more and more free items.

Speaking of... there are only 10 more participants until 18 for the price of 1.

I actually upgraded some McDSP plugins since the upgrades are 50% off, makes most of them about $15, which I thought doable over their regular ridiculous upgrade pricing.

You are required to surrender the old lic’s though.

Thank you again for your reply. However, do you realize that you haven't answered the questions I posed ? Simply put: yes or no. I understand that there are mechanisms behind the promotion in question, according to which your company must estimate its profit. However, the unclear rules and their volatility regarding this promotion don't really encourage participation. In any case, that's all from me. I have no further questions.

The behaviour goes way back, and is obviously on purpose, he is part of it, expect nothing

Thanks, finely got DUST - for only $11.70.
The BedroomProducers70off also works for the other two.
Note that Time Flux is a stand alone.

SoundMorph is having a sale: everything on the site is discounted, with savings up to 90% off until October 31st at 11:59 PM.

https://soundmorph.com/

Modular UI and Motion Graphics Soundpacks are $9 each.

additional discount with 'BedroomProducers70off' coupon (DUST for $11.30)

[No Sonic Limits]

The BedroomProducers70off also works for the other two.

Please note: it does seem like the BPB discount code is one use per account/user.

[Kalamata Kid]

I got $41 for all three with BedroomProducers70off.
but in the end bought only Dust.

[No Sonic Limits]

Yes, seems it works on even the Universe Bundle. What I meant was, you can't use the code, and then go back and do another purchase with the same discount code from the same account.

[soundbylaura]

$299.70 for the Universe Bundle seems pretty insane. I'm not going to do it but it's there...

Sadly, the coupon doesn't work for complete-your-bundle packages. There's no option to add a code.
