I asked if I could get the serial and have them just throw out the box, since shipping cost me 25 bucks to The Netherlands. The guy I was in contact with insisted that XLN required them to send a physical copy as part of the deal. Sounds weird, but that was their story.

Yeah, I caved too....  
 
I figured I'll need a wireless USB adapter for AD anyway, so I may as well go for it.    I bought Sonivox's Eighty Eight a while back on sale and do like it, but after hearing so many good things about AK I couldn't pass up $29 for all three... even though I'll probably use X3's Lounge Lizard for EP - I really like that too.    Pianos and drums, can you ever have too many?
 
 

Of course you do know that I just ordered it from MF.  And I blame you all for making me do it! Shame on you all!

John, It's just too good to pass up.  i was considering upgrading true pianos to full version but this is better deal.

I have to agree. I don't want to but I have to. 

AGREED! I have been raving on here and to all my keyboard buddies, this package is an absolute MUST_GET!

I had to get this one myself!
Thanks for all of your posititve reviews, just ordered it.

The reason why the addictive pianos work well for me is the EQs and different mic positions in the program itself...but if you use the Sonar 3 quad curve and experiment with the other effects available, that is where you can craft some realistic piano presets. I think this is true for any plugin piano, but many are not as good as this one IMO.
I prefer a 9ft Yamaha grand though

How does this compare to Galaxy vintage D? Anyone also use that?
I'm trying to justify it as I need to pay for shipping to UK so adds up to about £43.

I just ordered this.  While I have several other keyboard programs, I like XLN's Addictive Drums and thought I would give this a try for this no brainer price.  So, I just ordered.  I have a question:
 
Is this a download delivery?  It looked like it was standard shipping, but I did not notice the shipping options when i placed my order.  So did you guys get a download delivery or hard copy by mail?
