248 people signed up--only 2 more to reach the highest discount tier! At that point, I'll begin sending out emails with instructions on how to complete your group buy purchase.

I wish bit would join now so I can be #250

Which one's are you getting Baps?

YaHoooooooooooo! Orange Tree Goodies on the way!!!!

And... 250!
 
Working on the email system, I'll let you know once I start sending them out today.
 
For some strange reason, I'm hearing, "Run home Charlie! Run home as fast as you can and get those group buy emails sent out."

I'm a guitarist, and I'm getting Strawberry. I'm moving more and more to MIDI-based recording as the sample libraries available improve in quality and functionality. Although I've been playing for 42 years, I'm almost never happy with my own playing in a studio context...small timing discrepancies, tone issues, fret buzzes, clicks, various other noises, etc. I'd rather program the part in via MIDI and if necessary sweat over it for 2 days editing it to be perfect. At least I then have a result I'm happy with. And the sheer plasticity of MIDI always seems to present me with new options I never would have had via audio.

All right, looks like everything is ready and I'll begin sending out the emails!

Thanks WVought and rtucker for your input.......Strawberry fields forever. :)
 
How's that Fishman Tripple play in playability, responsiveness, and tracking?

Mesh, You're Really gonna like Strawberry!!!
 
Mesh & Greg,
I was very surprised at how well the FTP tracks. It's like you don't have to use a special technique to make it track, it just works. Seems to be very responsive using the Godin guitar and original strings it shipped with. Have not tried it with anything else yet. Will be curious to see how different string types affect the tracking...
 
After setting it up, I don't really use the software that came with it much. Just route it as a wireless midi controller into Sonar, or any stand alone midi based instrument/fx, and wham bam! It does only send midi note on/off, velocity, and pitch bend but it does it very well. It will send program change messages to the FTP software but I have not played with it much.
 
Best bet would be to give a unit a try to see what you think! Hope that helps.
 
Kind regards,
Rick

Alright, all the emails have been sent out with information on how to complete your group buy orders. If you haven't received yours, be sure to check your spam folder. You can always log into your group buy account where you will find those instructions as well.

Just make sure to sign up for the group buy before the sale ends on October 9th (11:59 PM PST). We rarely have discounts this great!

Also, keep the entries coming in for the Orange Tree Samples Demo Contest! The deadline for that is Tuesday, October 8th (at 11:59 PM PST, so you have the whole day). I can't wait to award the winners with copies our new library. :)

Hey Greg:  I did get my email, but I would like to wait until Oct 2nd to pay (once my payroll check clears).  We do have until October 9th to complete the transaction don't we?

OK - I caved on the lap steel. Now to figure out how to play it!

Brando...I am thinking about Passion Flutes also - anybody have this that can offer an opinion?
thanks!

I couldn't think of too many more impressive opinions than this one: 

Damn you, you tricked me into buying Acoustic guitar...
Oh well... :)

Although I am curios about this OTS version, I already own an actual 1996 Rickenbacker 4003 Fireglow, so I may or may not need or want it. 

I'll trade my library for your bass.
 
I miss my 1973 Fireglow.
