mcgoo Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Arturia announced that they'll be giving away a free copy of the original Minimoog V on June 21st, if I understand correctly, to anyone & everyone. Their website appears to be down at the moment though. Go figure. :idk Custom Music, Audio Post Production, Location Audio www.gmma.biz https://www.facebook.com/gmmamusic/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahZark Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Yep. Just tried to load the main Arturia page, and it's not working. Would love to score Minimoog V for free, though, so I definitely plan to keep trying through the day tomorrow.... Noah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marino Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I created a fb account just to download the Minimoog V, it says I will receive an email "within 48 hours" with download info. I've received nothing so far... and I plan to cancel my fb account as soon as I have downloaded the synth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magpel Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Anyone actually received this yet? I went through all the same indecision over whether to allow the app, finally decided that have nothing to hide in this world..except credit card and bank account numbers. So I reluctantly went for it. It had a weird, almost scam-ish feel, though. I am a little ill-at-ease over it. But on to the synth. I have used the GForce Minimonsta at length, a few years back, and was kind of blown away by it. Does any have experience with both?

AnotherScott Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I had no problem downloading it last night directly form their site, no facebook required. The pages were slow to load, but they did load. Maybe this is the best place for a shameless plug! Our now not-so-new new video at https://youtu.be/3ZRC3b4p4EI is a 40 minute adaptation of T. S. Eliot's "Prufrock" - check it out! And hopefully I'll have something new here this year. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Muscara Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 You could always remove the FB app once you get the download (perhaps even sooner, but I'd wait to be sure).

ADino Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I got it thru their site, I wasnt sure which Mac one to dload. Im pretty sure there are 2 plus the one if youre using bit torrent. It did take forever though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seannn Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I'm also waiting for an email that's supposed to come within 48 hours. I'm a bit skeptical--I've clicked to receive the email several times. The Arturia site loads for me now. Where on the site can one find the direct link? ~ Sean Juno-60, Juno-G, MicroBrute, MS-20 Mini, PX-5S, R3, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charleston Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I just don't want to give a 3rd party (or any party), "Sweepstakes", all of my info. And setting up a 2nd Facebook, then deleting is a chore. Disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnotherScott Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Again, there is no reason to use Facebook for this, or give any party anything more than an email address, which Arturia requires to send you your registration code (I have a rarely-used hotmail address set up just for things like this). The traffic this promotion is generating for Arturia is obviously a bit much for them, but a drop in the bucket for Facebook, so if you happen to be a Facebook user, you can "get through" more quickly that way. But with a little patience, you can get it just fine from Arturia's own site. Here's the direct link, which I don't think anyone has posted yet: http://www.arturia.com/evolution/en/products/minimoogv/minimoogv-original.html Again, NO FACEBOOK REQUIRED!

JeffLearman Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I get an error message in French. The error message probably because I block info to apps. (I hate apps simply because as far as I know, there's no way to get rid of them. Fortunately I learned that on a burner FB account I no longer use.) Hah! I managed to remember the burner account password, and am anxiously awaiting my email. Thanks for the post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnotherScott Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 that page just tells you to go to FB... Ah! It worked fine last night. Sure enough, it now says: As our server is overloaded please go to Arturia Facebook page to request your Free Instrument The site was so overwhelmed that they had to shut down their direct access. Bummer. Glad I got in in time, as I'm anti-facebook as well. Got my code emailed to me successfully, too. Maybe this is the best place for a shameless plug!

ADino Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Yea, me too..I did try the full version of this plug..simply fantastic...the presets were killer. Not sure u get the presets w/the freeb, I kno u dont get the fx. By the way, is this a standalone or will it come up as say a plug in Logic or a daw? Im a bit hesitant to load it b4 I can learn a bit more about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
