I'm sure more than a few people on here are musicians or at least play around with digital recording (maybe even just on your iPad/iPhone), so hopefully someone else finds this useful:
IK Multimedia's iRig Keys promo
With the purchase of an iRig Keys midi keyboard (that works on desktops as well as iOS devices), you're eligible for your choice one of their soft synths free (for mac or pc). This includes the full version of Sonik Synth 2, Sample Tank 2.X XL, Philharmonik and a couple of others. These typically range from $99-$150, so it's a pretty good deal, considering the keyboard itself costs $99 and comes with some software included. Also worth noting for fellow Canadians, Futureshop has the keyboard on for $89 right now...
I was on the market for nice small keyboard so this came at a good time for me, and I'm pretty happy with the purchase. I already had Sonik Synth 2 (which I recommend), and since the keyboard itself comes with a lite version of Sample Tank, I picked up the Philharmonik synth. I was surprised to find that the keyboard came with the cables for both PC and iOS connection - nice to see they didn't cheap out on that.
As well, for every 500 people who take part in the promo, registered users will have access to an additional choice of synth - they're at about 100 right now, and the promo's good until April 30, so there's a pretty good chance that you'll get a second synth out of it.
If anyone has any questions on the hardware or software, let me know - played around with them all weekend in FL Studio and really enjoyed it
