Cheers, Grem.

And now IK is saying some stuff will cost less ...

Yeah, doesn't inspire good things ...

Well, I'll hang onto them. You never know ;)

Also,
 
Everyone is well aware of how well IK keeps their word....

(2009 - SampleTank 3 is in the works and coming soon!)
(2013 - there will be NO SAMPLETANK 3 FREE)
(Also, if you sell something you've earned Jampoints for, even if it's years later,
they take the Jampoints back, and will maintain a negative balance until you've
purchased enough to get you "back out of the hole"...what kind of BS is that?)
 
etc...ad nauseum....
 
I LOVE IK Products, and Pete's a great guy who's just doing his job...one day...they'll wake up...and stop the BS'ing
(I Hope - I think IK loves the "vague technicality loophole scenario", politicians do too! )

Anyways...here's to GREAT Products and rhetoric...

Again, we're not taking away any Gear Credits from you if you have them.  I hope that is clear enough this time.
 
Also, we've been over the ST3 Free (it was in context of the SampleTank 2.x free version that was out - release years after the initial SampleTank 2 release - and in context of one that imports legacy libraries which was specifically being discussed, and that is still the case).  When you last mentioned it, I had I.T. look at JamPoints and they are not to take you into a negative at any point and support can help if that is the case (which was suggested when it was mentioned), and yes JamPoints you got from something you sell will be removed, that doesn't seem so out of the question and they will expire as per the stated policy (and we remind about this when it is going to happen) and that is still not to take you into the negative so if a glitch occurred it could be handled by support.  And SampleTank 3 was late, we realized that and have released it and here we are.  I think that covers those alleged "misdeeds" by IK and IK's word being kept.  If alerted to a negative JamPoints balance, IT's word that isn't supposed to happen would have been upheld after review of your specific situation.  If that did not happen, your support request could have and can be escalated.
 
I do thank you for the kind words and hope that this clarification doesn't cloud those sentiments.

Well, I'm not happy with the time it took but my ****ing didn't help either - it was to be late as it was and that's not going to change that it was nor will it change how unhappy a lot of people were about that.  I don't mean to sound like I'm saying "get over it" I'm definitely not going to expect THAT from anybody, just that it is out thank whatever made that happen at least and that it can be used now by those who did wait and end up purchasing it.  We also have some more sound libraries coming out that I've seen and heard details of so that's another thing that should happen ASAP and I'm sure I'm not the only one impatient about that part either.  Larry's got good points all around.
 
I'm also not discrediting Larry's opinion about SampleTank 3 Free and how it did look like there might be a good possibility of one that could import - but that would have been long before the lead-up to the actual release (which was also, admittedly, quite the long a haul) and I did my best to course correct and tried to be clear that there wouldn't be one that imported at the time of release.  The best estimate I could give, and I don't know if there will ever be one even to this day based on any information I have, is that it would follow the trajectory of the 2.x free version that imports which didn't get released for years after the initial ST2 release.  That's the best I can do on that topic, and I hope I'm being clear in that some of that is still speculation on my part but trying to share any insight I can without getting hopes up or improperly dashing them either.  I'd say it would still be far off as we're still on the cusp of releasing more libraries for ST3 so there's that road to travel for a while at least.
 
But back to the topic at hand, we're also listening on this topic and have certainly learned from the experience and know what to clarify up front next time (but personally I hope any pricing adjustment's "next time" is far off in the future).  I've spoken directly (well typed, I suppose) to quite a few of the participants in this thread and hope I can remain helpful going forward.  I apologize if any of the previous message seemed at all unhelpful, as is sometimes the case when communicating via forum/typing and trying to be as succinct as possible (and not really succeeding there or in this message :) ).

Oops, though I apologize that I used an apparently bad word.  Let's just pretend I said "griping" ;)

I've seen some nice progress on AmpliTube and T-RackS so as long as they keep the train a-rollin' and the quality on par with the latest T-RackS gear, it should definitely be a great year for gear from IK.

Would love it if T-RackS gets more of a Slate Digital VMR look. Those fine IK plugs already sound and look great, so a newly minted rack format would be very welcome.

Finally decided to stay away from AmpliTube as I'm a keys man, and I do have all T-Racks already thanks to the Group Buy. So guess I'll hang onto my remaining 90 credits and hope for the best.

I have about 45 credits and have no idea what to do with them. I've been meaning to demo some amps and pedals for a while, maybe I'll do that tonight.

Certainly the AmpliTube stuff is not just for guitars!

Sure, but I think I'll wait for the new T-RackS stuff and use my 90 gear credits for that.
Got some 140 JamPoints left too.
Thing is that, as a 90% keys man and 10% acoustic guitarist, T-RackS stuff seems more interesting for me ...
On the other hand, I do have some AmpliTube for iPad stuff. Sadly my credits cannot be used in the iPad store.

Sounds quite nice, Michael, and I love the dedicated stop button.
Me too, I use (and love) Lounge Lizard. Which AT3 plug would you use to imitate the Ventilator?
Rick already suggested the 3 rotary cabs (147-1 with the original woofer and 147-2 with a modern woofer). There's also a Vibratone 1x10” Rotary based on the Fender model.
 
Guys, would it be a good idea to simply purchase the 15-plug Rack Pack bundle with my 90 credits, even though I'm a keys player? (There's a rotary in there too )
Then again, you can buy the full Amplitude 3 bundle with 160 plugins including the Rack Pack for $99 at Musician's Friend, so using my credits for a measly 15-plug Rack Pack doesn't look good, even if the alternative is hoarding them until further notice.
 
And finally, I guess we still cannot purchase plugs with a mix of JamPoints (30%) and Gear Credits (instead of having to buy credits with 30% JPs and 70% hard-earned cash) so those 140 Jampoints keep on collecting dust ...
