On my 5th attempt. Each time it downloads a little more, but never finishes. Anyone actually get this installed?

However, today I saw Vienna is offering a free Bösendorfer Imperial sample instrument. It's in the soft/darker category, so nice for soft ballads and more "introspective" kinds of pieces (i.e, not a cutter). It's quite nice. Quite different than PT & Grandeur.

Here are the hoops: Make a Vienna Symphonic Library acct (if you don't already have one). "Buy" the freebie (in your cart, etc). Then you need to download the Vienna Assistant app. You also need the iLok License Manager app. With the Vienna Assistant, you download the Soft Imperial, and the Synchron Player (which is the free player for the instrument). At some point, you have to link Vienna to your iLok, so you can authorize. The whole thing didn't take very long.

I ran into the exact same snag, but I wasted no time creating the folder it said it couldn't find. At least they made it easy.

I have no experience with VSL products, but I've just spent about 7 hours trying to install the Soft Imperial and the Celestial Strings. I've activated them in iLok, I've downloaded the Vienna Assistant and Synchron Player. I download the "Hello Free" instruments to the folder I've selected on the drive. I open Synchron player...nothing. I scan the database...nothing. I open Vienna assistant and it says these products are not installed. Wash, rinse, repeat. I haven't had such a hard time with an installation since I tried to install Miraslav Phil from IK Mutimedia. What am I doing wrong?

Nice. Because it has a serial#, it shows up in Native Access. The Heavyocity downloader let me put it where I wanted and NA found it easily.

We've just released RARITIES #3: KHIM, a FREE Koto library for Kontakt 5 (and above).

The history of the Thai instrument Khim meets many countries: first Persia, then China, then brought to Thailand and finally introduced to Lao and Cambodia. It derives from the Persian santur and is similar to the hammered dulcimer or cimbalom. The Khim is made up of fourteen string triplets, each triplet composing what is called a note. It’s played with two flexible bamboo sticks with soft leather beater at the tips to produce a soft tone, the sound is brilliant but also very engaging.
