Help & FAQ

To download the sounds and sample packs, provide your email address in the form field that says _email address, then hit the DOWNLOAD button. This should open a new tab and automatically trigger the download from our Cloud Storage. Each file will typically be provided as a compressed file (.zip). You will need to uncompress this file to access the sounds/presets.

The downloads have an infinite availability. However, you can come back and resubmit your email to obtain the download link/file. Don’t worry, we won’t ever add your email address more than once to our database. But we do need your email submitted each time you download. That’s just the way it works! 🙂
