I put my order in for Spark Dubstep last night (it wouldn't accept an order from the UK, even though there's nothing to actually ship. So I had to 'pretend' I was in the US and give a US address & phone number - I found & used the address/phone of a random hotel in Salt Lake City...).
I was expecting to get a cancellation overnight, but to my surprise when I checked at abt 7am this morning (UK time - GMT) MF had emailed me a license key and download instructions. I've registered it on Arturia's web site (already had an account) and it seems to have gone through OK - I've got an activation code for it. I haven't actually installed it yet, but it doesn't look like there will be a problem. Stonking bargain for $1.06!

I has under the impression that they were going to mail a download card based on past purchases I've made.... I could be wrong though...msorrels wrote:I still haven't gotten mine either. Did get the first receipt but no download/serial number yet. I'm sure it will come through sooner or later though.

In UK find announcement in red boxbeatdriver408 wrote:Arturia Spark Dubstep download, $0.99
http://www.musiciansfriend.com/virtual- ... rk-dubstep
use code 99CENT
"! This item doesn't currently ship to United Kingdom. "
They are checking ISP locations one assumes.
So proceeded to try a handful of Free Proxy addresses in USA. This got page item without the announcement but images never finished loading. After adding to basket could not get to Basket let alone Checkout .
It seems a shame missing out on a cracker of a deal , does anyone know of a workaround please?

I didn't have to use a proxy ip. At the top right of the MF page is a "ship to" icon. I just changed that from uk to us and it let me add to cart and check out (as guest). I had to give a valid us address/phone (I looked up a hotel address ) . It even let me pay with my uk PayPal.blob 59 wrote:In UK find announcement in red boxbeatdriver408 wrote:Arturia Spark Dubstep download, $0.99

Hi Gang
Great deal on the MF Spark Dubstep, I have had confirmation of the order but still no serial number after 7 hours.
Can we load the Arturia expansion packs in Dubstep ?
Cheers.
