Beside the Summer Special there are some news:
To offer our users and customers more information on the current development of our products, we started an additional new category on the yellow tools website. Inside the area “Product Development News” we will continuously inform you about the current status of the yellow tools software development and sound library & content development. Furthermore we will also tell you about the status of current licensing and cooperation projects – like Engine Powered Products.

In a few weeks yellow tools will launch the initiative “PSL Project” (Public Software Licensing Project).
With this project we want to promote the development of instruments and libraries for the Independence format and we specially want to offer an easy and affordable option for smaller companies and sound designers to develop protected libraries and virtual instruments for commercial use, including the online platform the distribution.
An essential part of the PSL Project is an easy and reasonably priced licensing model that can get customized individually for any kind of exploitation.
Further details will be available soon on the yellow tools website.

Fire Sale Finish - 2 new Engine Releases

28.05.2010

- Karlsruhe, Germany:
The Independence Fire Sale finish is near to come - only a few products of this unique special offer are available.
If you want to get your copy of the powerful Independence sampler including the premium 70 GB sound library don't wait too long with your order.
We really want to say a big "thank you" to all users for the amazing feedback for this special offer!

The Engine product family becomes two new members: Cinematique Instruments and Gu Zheng - two top-quality products including premium samples and instruments:
Cinematique Instruments sets a focus on weird, odd and rare instruments which adds a subtle and individual character to your music production. Cinematique Instruments nearly recorded everything they could get their hands on! The library contains wonderful string instruments such as an autoharp, a 36 string instrument with a series of chord bars, a kantele, a traditional plucked 5-string instrument of the zitherfamily native to Finland, a wooden celtic nylon harp or a bowed psaltery, an instrument of the zither family such as a kind of a wooden soundbox with unstopped strings over it.

Rediscover the hidden treasure! 
Gu Zheng is one of the most beautiful, traditional Chinese instruments with a history of more than 2000 years. The modern Gu Zheng is a Chinese plucked zither equipped with 21 strings and movable bridges. Basic playing styles include plucking at the right porti on and pressing at the left portion to produce pitch ornamentations as well as tremolo. Yellow River Sound´s Gu Zheng is produced by Zhang Jian (China Conservatory of Music) & Ma Jing (ADSH) in cooperation with Best Service. For the first time, a Chinese instrument was sampled with great care by local Chinese music producers, who have a natural understanding of their culture and a sole passion to express the true quality of Chinese instruments.

yellow tools Server-Overload

05.05.2010

- Karlsruhe, Germany:
Due to the enormous demand of our Independence Pro Fire Sale Special and the corresponding huge amount of downloads, the yellow tools servers are fully overloaded at the moment. This may implicate the rapid decrease of the download speed and also the entire website may be slower as usual.
We apologize for this situation and the entire yellow tools web team is already pulling out all the stops to install additional high-performance servers including a corresponding download balancing system. We hope to get the problems solved during this week.
The delivery of the physical BOX version of the Independence Pro Fire Sale is not delayed. All orders get shipped the same day they arrive.

IMPORTANT: If you may have any problems with the product activation, please send an email with your Product Code to "support @ yellowtools.com" - we will send you the Response Codes back immediately.
If you purchased a download version of the Independence Pro Fire Sale Special and the downloads are too slow or get interrupted, we offer the free delivery of the sound library DVD set. Please also contact the yellow tools support in this matter.

UPDATE:
The online E-License activation process in the User Area is now working again without any problems.
