Nothing can be quite as refreshing as that free complimentary drink from the hotel after enduring the heat of the sun as you arrive at your vacation spot. You get to save some bucks and refresh yourself. Did you know that complementary software can be just as refreshing? Through the help of its dealers, Ableton is proud to announce that you can get a free copy of Sampler through Ableton's Summer Of Sampler Promo.

The promo is as simple as a buy-one-take-one deal at the supermarket. Purchasing a copy of Ableton Live 8 before August 31 entitles you to a free copy of Sampler, a $129 value. Sampler is Ableton's advanced sampling instrument. With traditional sampling features alongside groundbreaking sound design functions, Sampler exhibits versatility not found in other samplers. While Sampler can handle any multi-gigabyte instrument you can name, the fun of using starts with its sound-shaping capabilities as Sampler gives you control over every detail of sound.

To get your free copy of Sampler, you need to purchase a copy of Ableton Live 8 at your local music store. Next, have your serial number ready and get it authorized online. Once authorization is successful, you'll automatically receive a serial number for your copy of Sampler. As it is already part of Live 8, you no longer need to download Sampler separately. This promo is also valid for upgrades.

The free stuff doesn't end there. Ableton is also giving away a free audio package named Samplification, which will exhibit the capabilities of Sampler. Samplification includes 19 construction kits, 3 Live Sets with drum clips, 97 new instrument racks, Sampler tutorials, new samples from Puremagnetik, samples from Cycling '74, and selected sounds from Sound Objects Lite by Sonarte. Go to Ableton's web site for more details and see how hot summer is really around the Ableton camp.
