So apparantly, Korg controllers now ship with Digital Synsations for free:

But if you bought a Korg controller in the past, can you still get it?

You can. I bought a MicroKey last year and when I put my bundle PIN into the KLC site the UVI library was there. Along with Reason Limited.

Now I just have to wait for the 9GB download to finish

Nice

I bought my MicroKey 37 controller back in august 2012. I can't find a bundle PIN in the pacakage though, there are separate cards with codes for the M1 LE, Ableton and AAS software.

Maybe it is too old?

Which format is the bundle PIN code, like?: XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX

I can't get to it just now to check the format but it's a card with a single code. When I redeem it on the KLC site it brings me to a page with keys for the all bundled software. And UVI and Reason are now added to the list.

... the new cards are like PADXXXXXXXXXXXXX for the nanopad (for example), and it's def. a single bundle PIN, not separate ones... Contact Korg, see if you can get a license key... there's nothing in their recent announcement that explicitly includes/excludes device owners based on when they bought, and I think making an artificial distinction would be really really unfair...

The lineup of KORG USB-MIDI controllers has been expanded to include the taktile and the TRITON taktile controllers. One of the great benefits about the KORG USB-MIDI controller series is the generous array of bundled software that’s included with your product.

The "Digital Synsations" software synthesizer package by UVI is now available on KORG LICENSE CENTER.COM for free download! The “Digital Synsations” package includes four classic digital synthesizers from the late '80s and early '90s.

Get the most out of your music production with KORG controllers and the recently added “Digital Synsations” package and more! - See more at: http://www.korg.com/uk/news/2014/0425/# ... IXVni.dpuf

Are you a "KORG USB-MIDI controller" owner that was given bundled software? Then the above should apply to you, plain and simple...

Yes, I put in a support request with Korg.

As MicroKey 37 is listed among the controllers, the same model I bought, then I hope it should also apply to that.

So if you buy a Microkey 37 for $80 you get the full UVI instruments for free ? Do they then require a Dongle to function ? If not then this is a no brainer even though I have no need for yet another controller........

As I understand from UVI now, is that you can authorize their software on up to 3 computers, they still use PACE, but with no need for iLok.

But if you got iLok you can also use that, to move it around even more.

Yeah, this is really a great deal, a real no brainer

I bought a nanokey2 for £22/~$40 a few months back and can access all the software mentioned. I've definitely used the software without the nanokey plugged in so don't believe it's acting as a dongle. I had to go through the usual activation malarky for the AAS stuff which suggests it's not using anything else for security either.

If you go here: http://www.korg-license-center.com/ , you can see variations in the bundles (a microkey61 entitles you to the Legacy bundle for instance) but the core stuff is apparently for everyone.

Oh yeah, you'll need the ilok license manager for the UVI library. No biggie from my experience though. Less hassle than the NI one...

Crap......iLok/Pace is a virus and I won't install it. I guess the quest for a vsti version of the D-50 will continue......

Just got hold of my copy

The download was like watching knife slice through butter, 9GB took just a couple of minutes

Wow, you must be a lot closer to their data farm than I am. I get a lot of UVI stuff, but their download times are worse than any other publisher I buy from. Also got a lot of corrupt downloads from them until I started using the DownThemAll addon for Firefox.

Yep, this korg bundle thing basically pays for your controller and then some. I was also able to use the EZ Drummer license it came with to buy EZ Drummer 1 at a $75 discount the week before EZD 2 came out.

I used the Ireland mirror, didn't even have to use download manager, that was like watching lightning

It takes four times a long to unpack the RAR file as it took to download it

Note that it becomes "Not For Resale" once it has been registered.
