They are from Amsterdam... but they were working at 17:00 to get the web site online, so you could wake up 10/15 minutes later

but any potential freebie could be gone in that time already and just thinking about it can set me into some mental derangement

They have been super generous in past years, giving out a limited, but decent amount, of free licenses for their normally paid sample libraries. But they go quickly, and I was only able to grab one of their freebies last year. 

[cclarry]

You can also use your Loyalty Points (1 Euro for each point) to lower the price even farther

No voucher for me.  I do see the loyalty point though. 
 

edit: saw clarification that in order to get voucher one had to sign up for 12 days of Christmas newsletter by yesterday. Explains why I don’t see it.

I got plenty of their stuff and even paid for it.  It has nothing to do with their quality but I don't really use their stuff.

Took me a while, but I am beginning to find ways to integrate their stuff into my projects. It's almost always in full-on orchetral arrangements when I need instrument lines that are particularily nimble, or for passages that are fundamentally unsuited to being performed realistically by programmed multisamples. Sonokinetic's phrase libraries are really good at filling in those gaps, and I find them pretty easy to blend with other libraries. When they work, they really work, in that role. Worth having, at least for me.

The deal today is for their Orchestral Strings multisample library, which I also have. It's pretty good, with lots of articulations and a nice sound, although I find that it's not really for quick or easy arrangements; in my view, it's a finishing library better suited for arrangements that are already worked out in a fair amount of detail.  

Also, I totally dislike their instrument interfaces, and the Orchestral Strings one is no different. Very stylish. But also annoying, and they require a bit more work to operate than I want to spend when I'm working on music. 

However, if you can deal with that then $99 is a really good deal for a full-featured and good-sounding set of orchestral strings.
