In reply to Tomislav Zlatic. I just wanted to thank you for the trick of sampling the software, 3 years later it is part of my workflow for my licensed software, thanks to your publication, I never wanted to create controversy in your blog because it was essential when I had no money and I'm still reading reviews, I'm sorry I didn't highlight the most important thing in the post, how to make your own softsynth library, and comment on the licenses creating controversy, thanks for all these years of BPB..

When I buy Minilab mk2, I thought all these presets are normal presets,I didn’t know they can be gone, at least, I have 72 Preset, and my midi keyboard…

What can I say, Thank you…

Im not gonna use anything from arturia anymore, i bought a Minilab that is just so so so bad and buggy when i turn the knobs, if i turn them like a maniac very fast they responde very well, but if i turn it very slow it jumps all over and does some crazy things. Also i bought it because it cames with Analog Lab Lite and i tought it was a good deal, but now i dont use the minilab because it totaly sucks, and after the last update (4.2.0.3820) i lost so so so many presets, i had 550, i updated, and now i have 72, i dont know what the hell this guys are doing but from everything i researched, Arturia have some big problems with software, and they are way too greedy, almost never we get a discount, almost never we get a free plugin, they are the total opposite of Native Instruments, im using Native Instruments midi keyboard now and plugins and OH MY GOD, they are just perfecet, no reason at all to buy anything from arturia, im done with them, im very very pissed off for losing my presets, i tried everything you can imagine, my last option is a full format on the pc but i wont do that because i know it wont fix anything. Arturia = Crap

I love it. I’m going to make a few hundred loops and fx for my own productions and keep it moving. Worth the risk to have an arsenal of top-notch kit that I could never personally afford, on borrow for a couple of months, LOL.

Peace!!!

I am enjoying all the extended trial/demo full function time-limited freebies you are posting, I am taking full advantage, while they last! Thanks! As an intermediate hobbyist bedroom producer, I will likely never have a budget for some of these vst’s, as great as they are. Being able to use them long term (60-90 days free) means I can see if I really really want to buy the full version, or continue without.

Some licenses will even prevent you from sampling a bought and paid for software to make commercial sample packs. AFAIK, doing samples for your own use is of course permitted, else you probably couldn’t make anything at all… But then again, the question of time-limited licenses (be it a demo, cloud-based subscriptions, etc…) is raised. Software companies are usually a lot more restrictive than hardware companies, go figure. Ok, maybe not that japanese company who took down many sample packs of their drum machines (mostly the free packs, too!!) off the interwebs. *grmbl*

In reply to Phil Gibbons. It's an interesting topic. I think that at least some developers (if not most) will let you use the free trial software to its full extent during the trial period. What would be the point of these extended trials if you can't put those sounds to good use eventually? But, I could be wrong and I am definitely NOT an expert on the topic. To be sure, always read the license and check all the details provided there.

If you want to be sure, always check the license that is included with the product. I don’t think that using trial software in your music is forbidden – especially if it’s software that isn’t sample-based. But I’m *definitely* NOT an expert, it’s always best to double-check for yourself to be sure.

In reply to kobraji. That's the big question, isn't it? especially considering these guys aren't going to create a special EULA just for this special case. Also is the possibility "fingerprinting" has been implemented as DRM in the sound engine, which, even if using it commercially is allowed, would mean one would *definitely* have to get an email directly from them giving that approval and *never* lose that email.

I think it is illegal to use sounds commercially, if you only get the trial mod of a software.
