For me everything shows up correctly in the user account (https://www.ikmultimedia.com/userarea/my-products/) and some show up in the IK Product Manager under
"T-RackS 6 PRO"->click on the tab "Processor".

Okay, they are listed in my products.. The IK Product Manager hasn't been able to connect online the last couple of days. Thanks.

When I first read about this group buy, Bedroom Producers Blog said you could buy anything and get up to 49 (or 50) other items of any value/price for free. They claimed it was not limited to the price you paid on the initial item. I asked about that, since that's never the way the group buys have worked (not to mention it would be financial suicide), but someone else confirmed that no, you could buy something for $29 and get items costing $149.99 or more for free.

Now that everyone's had time to take advantage of this, I'm trying to find out what the real deal is. According to the website, "Purchase and register any qualifying software or hardware product and get up to 49 more of equal or lesser value FREE!" And again here: "Free products must be of equal or lesser value than the purchased item and selected from the software titles listed below."

So, for those of you who took advantage of a $29 or $49 item, have you been able to get anything else you wanted, or have your choices been limited to the initial $29 or $49 you spent?

We have been able to get anything up to 199,- worth. But that loophole is now gone, as in the meanwhile IK has changed the eligible products.

So now, buying those $29 or $49 items won't even trigger the groupbuy at all.

I see anything $49 and above is still eligible. But if you're limited to items below $49, well...there aren't even 49 items to choose from.

But thanks for clarifying that! You just saved me $49! (I pretty much have everything except PianoVerse stuff, anyway.)

Just to be clear : I was talking about those items for sale on Plugin Boutique and such.

The list of eligible products is on the IK website, which i would like to link to but the site is down as usual these days :lol:

Understood. But spending $49 for a MODO Bass instrument and then trying to find 49 other items at $49 or less...nah.

I don't mind the $49 for a MODO Bass instrument. There just aren't 49 other items at that price point. All the PianoVerse instruments are at least $99, and other than T-RackS 6 stuff, they're all I'd be interested in. But then I'm looking at spending at least $99 or $129 or more, just for the first item.

Yeah. If you were interested in a bunch of the stuff that's eligible, then $99 or $199 isn't a bad deal. At 50 products for $200, that comes out to $4 per item. On the other hand, they have sales all of the time so it may be cheaper to get what you want in an individual sale instead of spending more and getting a bunch of stuff you don't want/need.

AudioPluginDeals has all the items at base price plus an extra 20% off with coupon HALLOWEEN20. For sure FAME Studio Reverb and Concert Grand Y3 piano (both around 25$ that way) qualify for the 99.99$ tier.

I see TONEX (full) is $49/reg. $199. But do we know if these external deals still work for the group buy?

AudioPluginDeals also has AmpliTube 5 and Tonex together for $49.99 - 20% extra or Tape Collection for $49.99 - 20% ($199.99 on the IK site). Don't know if this works.

IK Multimedia has a strange communication. On Facebook, they respond me: It does work the PB deal but PB states it doesn't work.

It's kind of fascinating that IK's not even able to service the people in this group buy. The entire promotions area is dead.

What's "PB"?

I saw in another thread about the group buy that someone who bought that deal from AudioPlugin.deals doesn't seem to qualify for the group buy.

All the drama around this group buy is so in character for IK :D

I bought there the FAME Reverb a couple of weeks ago (using rewards and a coupon) and it did qualify. There's no reason the Piano would not qualify too. They are not listed as excluded products.
ApliTube 5 was excluded from the qualifying products from the start even though it did work for a while (now it seems it doesn't anymore).
