Steinberg is elated to release free trial versions for its two synths, Padshop Pro and Retrologue. Both trials come with the same functionality as the full versions and can be used for 30 days.

Padshop Pro is the next step in the evolution of Steinberg's acclaimed granular synthesizer Padshop and offers exciting new features for experimental sound design. The pro version comes with a drag and drop sample import function, a 3-band parametric EQ, a high-quality algorithmic reverb and 50 new presets.

Retrologue is an exceptional virtual analog synth that spices up your production with first-class analog purity. Highlights of Retrologue include two cutting multi-oscillators, an earth-shattering sub- and noise-oscillator, twelve quality filter types and a high-class FX section.

Both synths feature full VST and AU support and come with a variety of production-ready presets that will expand your creativity.

Fabulous idea. It says it is "Padshop Pro Trial Version for Mac OS X 10.7"

No Snow Leopard?

"Both synths feature full VST and AU support"

Not quite - no VST2 version on Mac

Did anybody get the test version from Steinberg running? How did it worked out?

I'm asking since after I entered my name/email at Steinberg site I instantly got a mail with the download link in it, but with a line

To activate your trial version, please use this Activation Code:

And no code bellow it. Does the trial versions need a code to activate? And where can I get one for them?

I'd eager to try Retrologue ...

Thanks,

The installer seems quirkey - It doesn't tell you where it's installing and it does not give the user the option to specify the install folder?????

eLicenser - I really don't want that!

Thanks but I'll pass.

Took me 3 goes to download padshop pro but it works on osx 10.6.8 and doesn't appear to need a license code.

I downloaded the Retrologue demo, didn't need a key I found out, the mail you get is just a bit confusing.

Yeah, fix it Steinberg.
