DIVA - Group Buy via Northern Sounds

[canipus]

For anyone who wants a DIVA in their Sampling Workstation,

Here's another groupbuy ending 6 Feb.
Currently it's at -35% for the entire DIVA suite/bundle (GIGA) $162.49 and is 8 buyers away from dropping to $150 i.e virtually 40% discount and it's only been running just over a week. If the current take up rate continues you may get this library bundle at less than half price.
Giga Halion and Kontakt orders are all bundled together to count as the group buy total.

Thanks,

btw, I have a few Akai CDs with samples.
But I cannot open them anyway. Nor in Kontakt.
Does anybody know how to make the use of em?

CD Xtract seems to work best. But usually PC CD drives can only read the first few samples of an Akai CD. The only way I can fully read my Akai CDs is with my Akai S6000 sampler. The VSampler VST plugin is supposed to read Akai CDs, but it's never really works for me. Maybe you can find someone with an Akai sampler that interfaces with a PC using Aksys software. That will allow you to transfer the samples out of the sampler into the computer as standard wave files, along with their program files. Using CD Xtract, you can then convert them to any format you want. Good Luck

I have used Translator for Akai conversions. There is a free version with limited capabilities here:

I would like to just say northernsounds is actually taking a cut off the group buy, so I suggest not supporting it.

They have routinely been money-grubbing nutjobs...

I really think you should support The diva author by buying the product at regular price and not supporting northernsounds, but the author of such a fantastic product. Frank's a great guy.

Just my 2 cents...
