The $1 Miroslav Philharmonik 2 CE counts?

No. As Peter-ik wrote in the original post above, the Humble Bundle deal or the Musicians Friend deal I posted earlier doesn’t qualify for the IK Group Buy.

First, note that this (nor the Stupid Deal of the Day that Peter #1 posted earlier) qualify for the Group Buy.  But they are both very good deals and might check some boxes for those who were not feeling the Group Buy.

IK has a bunch of deals going on right now that are very deep discounted, and the ones that are very deeply discounted don’t qualify for the Group Buy — plus the minimum price you have to pay for entry in the group buy is $49. Plugin Boutique is still selling Amplitube and Tonex for $29 each, which is a phenomenal deal — I still don’t own Tonex and constantly see people posting about how great it is (so, of course, I can’t help but want to get it!)  — but that’s a special promotion that doesn’t qualify for the IK Group Buy. So, it’s a choice of whether you want a ridiculously great deal that doesn’t qualify for the Group Buy or get something that isn’t as amazing as a deal that does qualify. That’s basically the choice.

I think, if someone only has twenty or thirty dollars to spend, the Humble Bundle deal is an incredible deal. If you have more, the Group Buy clearly is a pretty crazy deal — and the IK folks and our friend Peter knows how to tap deep into our GAS.

On a related note, I think, in the future, I may be working with some developers to do some Group Buys here on LinkedMusicians. Years ago, I worked with several developers to do them at the big forums. BTW, at our current rate of growth, we could see similar visitor numbers to VI-Control within the next few years.
