When all this begun (just 6 month ago) we didn't imagine such a success! We started releasing free betas, then several studio-grade instruments for free. And we got shocked about the download numbers. Many musicians and producers around the comunity are using Electrix on a daily basis. We are so THANKFULL AND INSPIRED BY THIS!
The thing was we got a bill from our server and WOW... we are losing money. Supporting downloads and server cost forced us to charge something for our products.
Despite this, Electrix will still free to share with your peers and copy it as many times as you want because it's not serializer or copy-protected, and won't be ever.
On the other hand, if you are on education field or you feel you deserve a free copy to show the world your talent, just email us.
Sincerelly. Sampleson dev team :)
