I think it's a bug, for other products the link results in a download. I'm a paying member of the site, and I still get the signup page

. Using google for the plugin only results in warez links

, and the swtrex site doesn't have the plugin anymore :s

btw Donnie Christian used to sell a great Vibraphone, but there were other issues there...

Oh! That makes sense. I've had an account there for ages, and I've been able to stumble around and download anything from there. Perhaps a German-type person could let them know?

Was he the guy who totally would freak out, tell you stories about his sick mother and not send you your sample packs?

Yes, ... People complaining about not getting the products they paid for, although I think I got the sample sets that I paid him for, but then he had a few different versions in a few weeks, still tinkering with it, and I lost track.

Yes, I recall some seriously heated threads. There's nothing more disturbing than an unstable developer.

So, I've got a $99 and a $0.99 choice so far...interesting...

This is funny - I just bought the esoundz vibes, and the product page said EXS format, but the download is ST2 format...weird. I thought it said "Sampletank" yesterday...

Bizarre, I thought it said Sampletank yesterday too. Looks like someone munged the page template or something by mistake some time today.

Con-spiracy!!! Interesting. I must bug Squids about this. I mean, my $1.80 could go to waste!

I already bugged Squids about it, over in his forum

it's not fixed yet, though.

I wonder if it ever was available as EXS?

Griels knows what he is talking about.

I think this is the best vibe sample set available at this time.

The Malmsjö piano ain't too shabby either

Cool. I'll definitely earmark this one.

How about the vibraphone in Manystation? I like to turn off the effects and run it through the Sonitus reverb.

Sorry, not to be owning Manytone yet! I only have Ultimate Bass Kit from them.

Thanks for the suggestion of course, lots of good ones here. I'm sorely tempted to get Cool Vibes, but I'm not sure I can justify $100 for a Vibraphone ATM. For now, I'm going with the Reason Orkester one; the esoundz one sounded good, could be made to sound very similar, but there is just something about the Reason one, it just fits in the mix the best.

Funny: started with Reason, ended with Reason.
