I was logged in. I live in the US. They could be limiting this offer to residents of specific regions / countries, but we have had people in the US and Europe confirm it's working for them. You could always try OT support. I'd bet they'd get it sorted out for you. Edited July 23 by PavlovsCat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't spend time looking as I'm not sure I really intend on grabbing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW they don't use paypal either. Sad I go this far to amuse myself. Edited July 23 by Paul Young Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A company either understands UX or it doesn't. This isn't something that is easily remedied without completely altering how ownership / upper management view software, aesthetics, etc. Sine is a horrendous sample player. It's been out for years and hasn't improved. It is absolutely ***** backward in almost every way, from how libraries are displayed, how dynamics are controlled, how patches / articulations are selected, how the mixer works, how multi-channels are setup, and on and on. It will not get better without essentially lobotomizing those who made these decisions (or managed the process), or firing all of them and replacing them with another team. You can't just suddenly learn these things - it takes years of education on top of a baseline natural talent for design & engineering. It's too bad. OT libraries are phenomenal. But the player is an example of an absolutely unfathomably poor understanding of design - which at a minimum, even if the UX engineering is terrible, which it is, requires at least a baseline understanding of aesthetics / UI. Better than Best Service's Engine player though! (lol) Edited July 23 by Carl Ewing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than Best Service's Engine player though! (lol) A savage take. But having worked with some excellent UX pros in my career, and learned a bit about UX, I do agree that the Sine Player is poor, as are a lot of sample developers home grown plugins. That's why I loathe it, and stop buying when these one to three person developer shops abandon Kontakt to create their amateur hour abominations that even a junior level user experience pro would find abysmal. But good luck getting them to listen. Even the bigger devs like OT are small businesses and its not like they invest the resources that NI can. I wish OT abandoned their player and went back to Kontakt and just focused on what they're good at, making sample libraries.
