PRICING
Simply add your preferred products to the cart, choose payment method and follow the instructions. As soon as the payment procedure has been completed you will receive an auto-generated mail containing all download links.
The reality is that the current race-to-the-bottom in the sample-dev industry imposes a downward spiral on the prices. 10-20 years ago it would have been natural to charge $200 or more for these products,but not anymore. Luckily we have a very low overhead, so we can continue to offer professional instruments at a very low price.
We have just started selling samples, and are trying to puzzle together what the true expenses are. It could very well be that we’ll need to raise the prices in the near future.
Having set the prices this cheap, there’s not much headroom. So think of it as we always have a sale
Never say never, but currently, it’s a no. Making great sample-libraries is expensive. It needs to be sustainably priced.
Of course. You may use the samples in any composition or musical creation. The only thing you can’t do, is to use the sounds to make new sample-libraries, for example like the ones we make
nobody, unless they have also purchased the same libraries.
Purchase of a collection or bundle is limited to those libraries that have been released as of the date of your purchase.
It is important to understand that this purchase does not include any future releases of sampler-instrument libraries that may be made available in a collection. Subsequent releases or offers will require separate purchase.

Please verify beforehand that you are actually exempted from paying the VAT for purchases in the European Union, otherwise, please ignore the optional field for the company name and VAT Number (if shown).
Downloaded libraries can’t be returned, so we can’t provide refunds. There are stripped-down simple demos patches available for most products. Please download and check out these demos if you are in doubt, before purchasing.

DOWNLOADING
Links will be provided to you on email after payment is registered.
In your wrongtools.com account you will be presented with a download tab on the left side, where all your purchases will be available. Download at your convenience.
We use Amazons S3 servers for our files, a reliable distribution network that will give you speedy downloads where-ever you are. Most likely, things should work like buttersmooth. But note that as some of our files are pretty large, we don’t recommend downloading many files at the same time. Should download stop, try restarting your browser or connect on a different network. Also, probably smart if your machine doesn’t go into sleep mode during the download.
Have you checked how much free space you have on your harddisk? You’ll need at least double the size of the library, since the machine will need space to Unzip the files.
Your purchased libraries will be available in your-account, under the “downloads” tab.
We have set a limit on the number of downloads. Should you wish to install on another of your computers, the best approach is probably to copy the library from your own copy. Should you need to reset your download count, you will need to get in touch with us by simply sending us a note. The download limitation is just a safeguard against illegitimate access to an account.
The serial number on your invoice links your purchase to our system. You don’t need to enter it anywhere.
Because our products are not Kontakt Player libraries, you cannot add our products to the Kontakt library tab.
It is recommended that you store all of your sample libraries and project files on an external hard drive for optimal organization and protection. To ensure the most reliable storage and fastest load and access times, we highly recommend using an SSD (Solid State Drive). However, a good 7200RPM mechanical drive is a viable alternative.
Additionally, we strongly advise keeping a backup of all your libraries and project files on a secondary drive. This backup should be kept physically and geographically away from your studio or in the cloud using services such as Google Drive or Dropbox. This will help safeguard against the risk of data loss due to drive failure, theft, or fire, and ensure that all of your work and assets remain accessible.
If you encounter a “Content Missing” dialogue box when loading the instrument for the first time, don’t worry – this is an issue that can be resolved easily.
To resolve missing files, simply click on the “Browse for folder” option and navigate to the folder where you have stored the instrument. Select it and Kontakt will automatically search for the missing files in the relevant location.
UPDATING
You need to be on our mailing list to get notifications about when a library has received an update.
You’ll have to download the whole library again from your account. We are hoping to find a smoother updating solution in the future.
The link provided to you when you purchased, is tied to your order. It will automatically provide you with the latest version. In your account you will see which version it is on the download button.
Once you’ve downloaded the latest version, you can replace it with the old folder. But it is always a good advice to keep a copy of the old files until you are certain that everything works as expected with your projects.
Kontakt instances loaded within Cubase/Logic/.. project files are stored and loaded from your project. So you manually have to replace the patches in your project to make use of the latest updated kontakt library. They are not updated automatically.
Let us know if you have reached your download limit, and need more downloads.
To find our which version your downloaded instrument is, click on the BOOK icon (bottom left). And this window will pop up.
