no issues here in Win7 64bit and Orion -- Attack LE actually still sounds pretty good... I can tell these were made in a time when typical screen resolutions were much, much smaller.

So, since some people still seem to be having problems, I'm willing to give this a try for at least a few people. I've had no difficulties downloading the file. At the very least, it might help to narrow in on what the problems are.ghettosynth wrote:I had no problems either. In fact, I wanted to see if was just a temporary thing and downloaded it a second time with a different email, again, no problems.Numanoid wrote:Sad that so many seems to have download problems. But the zip file came down with the speed of lightning here though, so it is difficult to say what the problem could be?U-o wrote:Impossible to download it!![]()
I tried zilions web browsers and download managers.
I noticed that whatever "zippy" link was provided was deleted. Good! You cannot distribute that way, it's a copyright violation. I have a suggestion that I believe is not a copyright violation.
I don't think that there's anything illegal about having someone else perform "your download" and sending you "your file." Each link is unique, however, and can only be used once (or at the very least, they expire after some time), so you have to start with a fresh link.
So, if you forward your email with a fresh link to someone who can successfully download, that person could perform your download, and send you the file back.
At the very least, a few downloads like this would help to narrow down whether the problem is with particular links, or is somehow connection related.
I don't think that there are any legal issues with what I'm suggesting, mods, if you believe that there are, please say so, I'm not willing to risk my standing at KVR over helping people obtain a free synth.
So, barring no issues, I'm willing to assist five or so people get this synth by doing your download for you. If it doesn't work, I'll both let you know here, and try the download again.
To be clear, I am not simply going to send you my file. That would be illegal distribution. I am offering a free service to a limited number of forum readers whereby, you will forward me your email, and I will attempt to download your file for you, and then send you your file. I will then delete your file from my computer and repeat the process for the next participant. If some work, and some don't, so be it. If all work, then that's pretty good indication that some of us have more reliable connections to their machines than others. In any case, I will report summary results here.
So, I've enabled my email. If you want me to attempt to download your file, send me an email from KVR, I will respond, then you forward me your email from beat with link, I will download your file, and email it back to you.
After five responses, I will disable my email again.

If mods are ok with this, i could help people too.
I'm 100% legit, i won't sell your e-mails to others thirds parties or shit like that.
But i prefer to wait for a mod answer.
Have a good day

OK, I'm still not sure what I'm doing wrong here. I followed the instructions from the original email:
Click on it.
Give them your e-mail.
Receive e-mail. Verify e-mail.
Download 6 synths.
Up to verify email I'm good. How do I download?

The above sentence contains a link (bolded and underlined here) that you click on. The page then has a button that says "zum download", click on it and you will download your file.Bitte klicken Sie auf den folgenden Link, um Ihre Anmeldung zu bestätigen:

Really? that's crazy. It's yet to fail for me and there's nothing special about my browser/system/connection.robojam wrote:Did that but no download button.

I just tried IE too, and nothing. I just get "Ihre eMail-Adresse wurde erfolgreich bestätigt!"
Which is something like your email address has been confirmed but the only other thing on the page is links to other sites at the bottom of the page.

Sounds like either you have tried too many times or the email link has expired, so you don't get the correct download link page. Might want to translate the text in Google Translate (or whatever you use), and you might find the text on the page says something like "email already registered".robojam wrote:Did that but no download button.

Try whole process again, or try different email address registration.

Hmm, strange.
I did that way.
I inserted my e-mail. Received an e-mail, confirmed e-mail. And in the link to confirm the e-mail, there was another pic with all 6 synths. I clicked on it, and downloaded all, no problems so far.
But strangest, today i received another e-mail from Beat saying.
Maybe they got too many messages from people and changed the way to download it.
In any case, maybe you will receive this new link to your e-mail once again, so be patient and good luck.
Have a good day

Worth it to install a 7 year old runtime just to get cut down versions of equally old plugins working.......or not working as the case may be:Zombie Queen wrote:Worth what? Time spent downloading? I happen to have those runtimes installed (they were required by some software I have) and I can say I have no problems running those Waldorf plugs. Visual C++ runtimes will do you no harm and are free.
