[Muzaq] Native Instruments’ November Special Offer

Leave a reply

Special November Offer

Native Instruments just announced to give a rebate of 50% on their Vintave Compressors (VC 76, VC 2A, and VC 160) and Transient Master plugins.

The rebate is available via the Native Instruments Online Shop ONLY. The offer ends November 26th – so seven days to decide!

 

Demo Versions

For you, who wanna try-before-buy, check this link for the demo versions. Sadly some really annoying and thus workflow hindering limitation have been applied to the demos:

  • 30mins only total runtime
  • saving presets is possible but loading is not
  • total recall is disabled

We really can’t imagine a scenario where a plugin or an instrument can be tested sufficiently within 30mins, but hmmm… still better than dongles for trial licenses…

Update [Jan 28, 2012]

Forum threads indicate there is a tiny chance that Ableton might sue Bitwig for cloning parts of Live’s GUI, in legal terms for violating the protection of registered designs.
