I am very, very pleased to announce that Krazy Dreams has decided to release their retro keys products (now called, simply, Retro Keys -- its planned commercial name was, in our estimation, a bit pretentious), previously intended for commercial sale, directly to the Magesy community, at no cost, with no restrictions on distributing, copying, and use in performance or recording. The only right we restrict is commercial sale of the free product, and we ask that we (Krazy Dreams) be credited as creator of the product wherever credit is called for, and that our Info fields in the instruments remain intact.

The message we'd like to make is clear; we're musicians first and foremost, and we'd much rather these instruments end up in the hands of other musicians who'll play them, regardless of income -- and especially in the hands of working musicians who couldn't afford them at list price, as those are the people who need quality free instruments most. You are our audience, and as we did this project out of love for the retro instruments, we thought we'd serve them better by making sure everyone got to play them and check them out.

We'd been in talks earlier in the year to develop this product for sale through a reasonably well-known sample company but we weren't happy with their image of the product -- a high price tag, bloated and floppy, full of superfluous file size and unnecessary bulk to appeal to those members of the market who believe bigger is always better, and priced well out of comfortable reach for working musicians. We saw this product more as a chance to share with the world what it was like, before the days of eBay and everything having a "collectible" price tag, to walk into a pawn shop and pick up a retro transistor organ on the cheap, take the thing home and start playing with the knobs, sliders and buttons to see what could be done with 'em.

Just do us a favor. If this choice we've made makes a difference in your music, helps you record, helps you gig, helps you get that crazy new sound you've been searching for, comment here and let us know. That'd really make our day.
