i.e. When we crossed the 10000 threshold, that really should have updated to end of October, if I understand the terms correctly. And as we cross the 20000 threshold, it should move out to end of November. Is that right?

If I'm misunderstanding anything about this, I'd appreciate clarification.
We should be able to select freebies up to 30 days after the 9-30 end date is how I read this.

Indeed you are correct, though it is admittedly confusing. Looks like you all will have another month anyway pretty soon - you're only 13 away!!

A week ago it looked like there was no chance of hitting 20k. With my 2 buys I can now have all the Amplitube & TRacks add-ons plus more, incredible!

Thinking of picking up one or two of the analog tape machines. Which ones would get me closest to a 70's Classic Prog Rock sound ? We're doing Yes, Pink Floyd, ELP, Beatles, ect. styled original material.

Easily, if the average rate continues:

I have adjusted the end date and, from today, the Forecast Total.

Double-dipping counts :)

If we can have another day (or few) as strong as yesterday it will be no problem. So let's get people in now so it isn't a nail-biter again.

No coasting until we're at 25,000 participants :D

Can someone check my math here?

Of all IK software products, I have everything but 26 items. Of those 26, only 5 are not eligible for the group buy (The Resonator and the four X-Gear emulations). That means there are 21 items remaining, and we're at the buy-one-get-20-free level. So if I buy the most expensive of these 21, I'll get the other 20.

The most expensive in my list of 21 costs 200 gear credits, and I have 26 JamPoints. If I apply the JamPoints to the cost of 200 gear credits, which is $160, I can effectively own all remaining promotion-eligible items for $134.

Is that correct? If so, I don't think I'll be doing much sleeping this weekend.

Yes, but you have to use the 200 gear credits on an eligible product.

Right, I'd be using it on one of those "21 items remaining" (i.e., the remaining items that are promotion-eligible).

Be very careful, here. For this method to work, the initial item you pay for with Gear Credits has to be available in the Custom Shop, has to cost 200 Credits, and has to be available as one of the qualifying items in the Group Buy.

If you need AmpliTube 5, that'll work perfectly (it'll be available for 200 after you've purchased 200 Gear Credits, if not before). But I don't think are any other such items.

Excellent point!

Luckily, one of the 200-credit items is in Custom Shop: SampleTron 2 Crossgrade. That was all I needed to unlock everything else promo-eligible that I don't already have. (I have AT5 and have been a long-time user, going back to 2013 and AT3.)

I just pulled the trigger, and now I'm downloading the mother lode. (Mixed metaphor, but who cares?) \m/

Perfect! Congrats!

Similarly, after my second buy, I think I’ll have everything other than the full version of Philharmonik.

Cheers,

Other than the "SE" versions and ARC, I can say I have it all with 10 or more free left....It's a great buy for the newbies...I Can I donate my extras? or just repeated what I have?
