Free - 2 GB samples from Yellow Tools

[Armadillo]

Independence Free is a sampler with 2 GB free samples.

Seems to be a 4 hour download for me, so I haven't tried it yet, but there's bound to be some good samples in there.

We give you free access to this amazing product: Here is "Independence Free":

* no yellow tools Authorization Key required
* beside audio file import all Independence software features are enabled
* no time or save restrictions
* commercial use is allowed

Independence Free comes with a 2 GB sound library of thoroughly selected premium instruments from the Independence 2.0 Core Library that can be performed in an intuitive and authentic way impossible with any other sampler.

Is there any trash (dongle junk and the likes) included/needed?

[Meffy]

Nope -- "no yellow tools Authorization Key required" -- that's their dongle.

[edit] Whether there's some alternative to dongleness I couldn't say. From the looks of it I'd guess the answer is still "no." Looks pretty nice.

Some apps wont run without installing dongle drivers, or some form of 'soft dongle'. It'd be nice if they were considerate enough to not dongle a FREE product, but you never know, some companies seem to enjoy abusing their (potential) customers.

I'm downloading... will see but the pages are in german, so I can't understand all.

[Ben H]

click the english button at the top of the page

[lavoll]

the little german i still remember helped me, there's a registration process you have to go through, and it will appear in your account in downloads.
oh, and read the text, you also have to use this serial number "INDE-FREE"

Their earlier Majestic and Culture tryouts were completely clean, no BS attached.
Still 35 mins approx, I'll try it out asap.
Looks like they plan to offer free Majestic, Culture & Candy content, too, btw.
Cheers,

great find when it works.. I get 'Ein interner Fehler ist aufgetreten!
Bitte versuchen Sie es zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt' after I submit the registration..

I see they are planning some extra instrument downloads later from their other instrument packages too..

will be a good find when/if I can actually download it.

HI

Isn't life strange!

A few years ago you would have paid an 'arm and a leg' for something like this: today I couldn't be bothered to download it for free!

I am not saying it is bad: today we simply have so much choice at such reasonable prices that this kind of stuff is (for many) just not needed - even for free.

Flipper.

I bet this will eventually lead to me buying all their products, I've had my eye on them for a long time but the price kept me from buying. This free stuff will most likely get me hooked so shame on you yellowtools and they released it right on my birthday, this can't be a coincidence

[stanlea]

Happy birthday, man.

[Meffy]

@RE: Yeah, I see what you mean. I have WIBU-key drivers on my system from... hm, I forget what software installed those. :-\ Wish they weren't there.
