Anyone here who got this email from Korg actually able to access the web page for the sale? I get the message

KORG
Page could not found.
This is a possibility that the page you have attempted to access does not exist or browsing is not allowed.

Odd way to advertise your sale

Its working for me with the usual unacceptable loading times. Are they running their site on a 386SX or what?

Oh well, time to decide on that Italian Piano again...

Hooray. Thanks Korg.
I paid the high price for Korg triton software a while back when i really wanted triton extreme software.
Today i see Triton extreme released in a new bundle deal advertised on youtube, so i go to my korg ID page and find that triton extreme was added to my previous korg triton extreme purchase.
No extra charge.

Triton Extreme was where i first got into owning korg workstations and it really rocked my world into new dimensions.
Then i moved up into Kronos but so happy i can now have Triton extreme accompany me or use while my Kronos is in storage to expensive to ship so far over seas.
Korg took the effort to automatically add it to the triton software i had already purchased.
Downloading now.

For me it was slow but did get in. Picked up a couple libraries ( I was waiting for a sale like this ).

The reason for the slow website is the sheer download volume involved. It took 3 minutes at 60Mbps, equating to over 1GB of network data. It does get cached, so reloading the page is quite a bit quicker.

The website is slow, but I downloaded about 20 libraries to demo, a couple of weeks ago. I would play one on the Kronos, while another was downloading. I right clicked on the download link and opened it in a separate tab, each time.

Chrome Web Inspector informed that the website transmits around 126MB for that time just loading shop.korg.com/kronosoundlibraries! Images are not optimized and weight around 500kb each one, not using a CDN... i'ts like amateur work.
