Boscomac releases Viola Organista, a free Reaktor module string instrument. The ensemble is based on a strange instrument called “Viola Organista” which dates from the 15th century, was first described in the Codex Atlanticus of Leonardo da Vinci.
The basic concept of this instrument is very ingenious: a system of wheels with horsehair is fixed for rub the taut strings. Under the action of a key, the sound begins to vibrate, result of friction. The expression of this instrument is impressive because the player can play Crescendo on a keyboard! This instrument sounds like a viola, but it looks very similar to an organ. It is unknown whether Leonardo da Vinci managed to build a working prototype of the original viola organista concept.
This great instrument from Boscomac was programmed with the excellent software REAKTOR 5.9 by Native Instruments and you need the full version of Reaktor 5.9+ for use Viola Organista.
If you own Reaktor this instrument defenitly worth your attention.
 

Just my 2 cents (or 1), I would think it would make the most sense for all instruments or the like to go into the Deals free or discounted. Freebees are usually a means of advertizing a companies other products which feels like offering a deal to me. By the way I like this freebie. The demo sounds good to me.  

Sounds like a product announcement to me, free or not.  This is a good place for it.
 
When it's been around for a while and starts getting bundled with other stuff I'm sure it will end up as a great deal post...
 

Larry,
 
Appologize for all of us that you have to wander through artificial legal fine print to pass on a gem that you have found. Work in a hospital here in the outbacks. Healthcare environment getting more convoluted and perverted as well. Just a sad sign of the times.
 
Updates, sales, tips, heads ups you submitted on this forum were a one stop delivery of what we needed to be aware of, amplified by expert users who weighed in if you were off the wall or not. Beautiful dynamic. High energy flow of information and kept us very well informed.
 
Work insane hours and don't have the energy or motivation to search multiple forums to connect the dots any more.
 
If things go like global industries are headed, more constipated restrictions and legal fine print are on the horizon. Will soon look back on this newest "improvement"  of the respected cakewalk forums like it was the good old days.

It's a product announcement. It doesn't matter if it's a freebie or $1,000, overpriced or a bargain. It clearly belongs in the Software forum.The news isn't that it's free, the news is that it's a new and potentially useful instrument.
 
There's no need to over-think it.

I agree with John. Larry (and all of us) did have a one-stop-shop so-to-speak. If I want to look for something, I had one place to go. Now, I will have to look at two places.
 
 
Suggestion: Put all items for sale, new, old good, bad, worn out, in one palce and call it: Software Deals.

Anyone try out this instrument? It looks very interesting....

We're trying to!  The forum is called Deals.
 
This forum is for discussing software. What you do with it, how you use it, how easy it is or isn't to use, what you recommend should be done with it (within the terms of the C of C)  all in one place.

I get it.
 
That post was directed to all members. IOW: All of us! :)
 
What I am saying is that someone may post a new product here and not in the deals section.
 
Now you have someone who only wants to only see "what's for sale" and not discuss sw. They only go to the Deals section. They won't see what's posted here. They will have to wade through all the discussions about sw to find out about a new product.
