so you get to the very end of the registration process, then on the page where you confirm the order
theres this line of text saying an ILOK account is required to use all UVI products. so i bailed without confirming.
ILOK, no thank you.

I said exactly the same thing a couple of years back when they gave this away. I will tell you that iLok is not that bad. Believe me when I say I hated the thought of installing it on my computer probably more than a million you's put together, but after using it, I have no problems so if you can give it a second thought it is worth it for this great freebee. Just my opinion.

I actually came back to this thread to say that Digital SynSations is way cool and super high quality and now I have respect for UVI products.

re iLok - same for me as far as thinking what a hassle, but actually the software version has turned out fine. That's over about a year or two I suppose.

Actually, It's a pretty "meh" product. Not that many sounds but takes huge amount of disk space, very basic controls for programming and needs PACE cr@p on top of it. Definitely not worth the money they were asking for it. For 200 bucks you could get FM8, Korg M1 and Wavestation for real emulation, tons of sounds and full programmability. Frankly can't see why would anyone pay any money for Digital Synsations.

I agree - I got this free last time, and have barely used it.

They don't sample the classic factory presets, they basically create their own patches on the synths, using the less characterful samples so they don't get into trouble, and sample those. They always sample well, and the products are high quality, but, for instance, you pick any instrument, and choose a category, like "Bass" or "Pads" and there are only 5-10 patches in each category for each synth, and once you choose one of those, there's not a huge amount you can do to it other than tweak envelopes, filter etc. It's not like you're getting raw waveforms to play with either.

If I had paid full price for this I would have been extremely disappointed, considering what that money could have bought elsewhere.

For free, and if you like the sound of those synths, then pick it up and play with, but my guess is that it probably won't prove that useful to many folk here...

It´s still ilok!

EDIT: There´s no battle. Just pointing out that even without a physical dongle it´s still ilok software.
Next two posts derail this thread more.

Just don't accept the offer and spares us the ilok crap arguments.

No one is forcing you to do anything. It's your own choice, live with it, but please spare us from derailing this thread about the sample libraries and turning it into another ilok bashing waste of bandwidth.
