Thanks for sharing the news! We have a few surprises for you this year that won't have any i's in them....

Obi,

I still don't understand this Custom shop thing. For instance. I have purchased every single piece that is in the Slash collection but according to the Custom shop I don't Own the Slash collection and it is still available for me to purchase for 100 credits.... Why would anyone want to do that when they already own the gear???

Same way with the Hendrix collection that was on sale. I owned the majority of the collection with the exception of a few pedals and the 3 new amps but I could not get it for the reduced price or any discount on what I already owned of the collection. It is still available to me for 125 credits.

I bought the stuff as singles and spent a Lot more than if I would have just purchased the entire collection so should Customers not be entitled to some sort of discount so that they don't have to re-purchase the things they have already paid for?

From where I stand the Custom shop really is not the way to purchase gear and it is the most expensive way of buying this stuff unless it is a one-of-a-kind NEW piece of gear that is not part of a collection.

I am a bit disappointed that the custom shop seems more like a way of getting the Customer to purchase things at over inflated prices vs. just buying the colections from other discounted vendors.

As far as surprises this year i also have a few which include thinking twice before purchasing any further IK products.

Kind regards,
Rick

I'm with you on this Rick...

I'm tired of waiting for a 64 bit Sampler,  and they've been saying "It's coming..." for years now...IMHO....it's too late...
most have already abandoned ship....

I'm not really thrilled with Amplitube either....thier Windows 8 support is nowhere to be found.  I can't use
ANY of my IK Products in Stand Alone, because they don't recognize my Quad Capture driver...and Asio4All goes bonkers
with them....

Waste of time and money.....Microsoft announces these new Operating Systems over a year in advance to get these "Software Companies" a chance to get their products "in sync" before they are released....most don't do that.... 

And with the FRENZY of iCrap that IK has been releasing, they have obviously put the PC customer on the back burner...
even though we GOT THEM WHERE THEY ARE...not good IMHO, and the iFad will die soon enough....and then what?

I can't complain about IK prices or product quality.  I've gotten some great deals over the years.   My only issue is that they threw the SampleTank users under the bus.  And, yes, it's too late.  We've moved on to other products to fill that void.  Any loyalty that ST users had has been taken advantage of and used up.  They might as well just stop ST development (assuming they haven't already).

Guys
Just saw this which I AM SURE will placate all of us SampleTank users (I also have Sample Tron, Sample Moog etc etc)

IK Multimedia has released iLectric Piano for iPad,

Now I really feel so much better

I hate to keep saying this Obi but every "surprise" you allude to is met with big MEHs here. And ST3 will only be a surprise in that it actually comes out. But it better be dyn-o-mite else I'm not paying an upgrade fee for it and will probably retire my IK SampleTank/Moog/Tron/Miroslav/Synh Libraries.


The upgrade fee for The CS Grand may well be my last update fee paid to IK. Oh, I will probably use the Custom Shop for Amplitube3 but even that stuff is feeling kinda meh lately too. Maybe the guitarists here dig it all but I'm a bazz player who likes to have an assortment of amp sims for visiting guitarists. So I'm probably not going in for much more beyond the custom shop points I do have.

As far as ST3 goes I believe the working title is iCAN'T.
