I use Facebook to wish people Happy Birthdays. I get two e-mails a week from Facebook, one telling me the Birthdays of the week and one giving me a weekly update on all the messages I'm missing out on by never going to Facebook. It's completely invisible to me otherwise.

Anyway, sign up or not, that's your choice, but I don't think you'll get much agreement about the negativity you see with the campaign.

I dunno. I don't do facebook, I couldn't get it through other channels, I don't have it

I can certainly understand people being frustrated.

Nice fat sounds and some interesting presets.

Curious to hear how they compare to the Arturia. I enjoy their sounds a lot.
Surprising range and quality.
Cheers

Does anyone know if there is someone from Arturia who I can contact?

I made at least 50 attempts to get on to the website to register, so I was unable to get it through the website. I also tried the facebook method, still no luck, for some reason I couldn't progress.

I still want to take Arturia up on their offer. I'm not sure if I am going to accept the fact that I couldn't register through no fault of my own. Another thing that I found rather amusing was that on Wednesday night (here in Sydney Australia) was that there were 4 hours remaining on the timer at 8pm...but...but...on Thursday morning at 6am...there was 2 hours on the counter and I'm like...what the heck? I thought it would be opened by then but nah. I went to work and tried to register at work...had to explain things to my boss.

I contacted the webmaster last night and still awaiting a reply. Lets just say if I don't get anything positive out of this I'm not sure if I would want to have anything to do with them in future. What they do now will determine whether I consider buying any synths from them in future.

I really am upset by this whole thing. It's been so far nothing but a massive load of stress through no fault of my own.

Here I appeal to Arturia to make this right and to contact me on private message if they are prepared for me to accept their offer. A day late...sure...but that is not my fault.

I wish them the best. I am eagerly awaiting a response from Arturia.

benjamind I would take your email down. not a good idea at all to post it on a public forum.

If this was a free Omnisphere or Komplete and you had to have facebook, I bet all these people saying never facebook would sign right up!

no

Anyways, I'm just saying. I kept a link woke up "servers slammed, go to facebook" and though I really don't mind I can understand people being upset

Well, it wouldnt work via Facebook either.

Something went wrong and I was not able to get through.

So, I'm just awaiting their reply. All I can say is whoever has had trouble getting through, you should try contacting them. It's worth a try. Based on their response you can judge whatever future relationship you have with them.

I'm prepared to wait 2 weeks for a reply from anyone at Arturia to resolve my misadventure. None of it was my fault. I prepared myself and I waited. I will know what their response is in good time.

Poor Arturia, no good deed goes unpunished. One lesson they can take away from this is that they should never give away anything free again.

I was interested enough in them at one point to ask some questions and even joined the forum to ask.

Again, I'm not missing anything. Just saying, it's reasonable to be disappointed.

Or be better prepared next time. I think any company watching this thread can learn a valuable lesson

Yes, just as it's reasonable for Arturia to regret giving this away for free. They might've been better off giving 1,000 away for free, then people might just assume they missed it if things got bogged.

Yes, they could take that away, too. It's really up to them (and anyone watching this thread) to decide. After all, they're the only ones in this equation being unprecedentedly and unnecessarily generous.

I don't think that's fair. I haven't been moaning, just saying
