My Sweetwater rep asked if I wanted the download version too - and I told him I would wait for the boxed set. :) 

Hopefully the boxed set will contain the new 3.0.1 installer/patch.
 
The setup process took about 3hr's from the time I registered the serial until I had it all installed on the laptop. The setup is kinda time consuming but was painless and I had no issues. I am liking the baby grand and it does support the sostenuto pedal. The tone wheel organs, Rhodes, and basses sound pretty good too. Layering sounds can be quite musically creative. Hope it stays that way even after the New wears off...
 
All-in-all I now feel like it was worth the $99 upgrade price with a couple of exceptions. There is still no way to size the GUI unless you do it by changing the resolution on your video monitors which is not a choice for me. It does seem to be a little cpu hungry even when I turn Fx off.
 
Wishing you luck.

Thanks for posting about the delay with box sets.  My sweetwater rep called two days ago and said that "all was a go and that they should ship next week", but that he would call back when they charged my credit card.  So the news here on this forum helps me prepare for the delay.  Thanks

Thanks for getting back to us re the possible delay - perhaps you can pop back when you have firm information re this and if in fact the delay will mean the boxed set will ship with the update etc

You can stay up to date with these tutorials by subscribing on our YouTube channel too. More to come...

Cool! Thanks Obi.

I'm not really complaining here but it is ironic for those of us who've been waiting so long for this update and have opted for the boxed version that...even when IK's got it...they still don't got it.

Congrats to all who got the DL version. Looking forward to my boxed set arriving who knows when. Glad to hear I'll be able to use all my IK libraries that have been sitting dormant for so long.


Hopefully by Xmas.

Avoid ST3 like the plague.... at the moment...
 
I have encountered so many errors with importing old libraries that it beggars belief!!! Only yesterday ST3 would not load a drained over 6gb of my RAM! It eventually settled down but there is clearly something wrong...
 
Like many, ive been waiting for this 64 bit update since the 'dawn of time' and its been a disappointment. Dont get me wrong, I like the sounds Im hearing so far but it does not have that WOW factor that I was expecting.
