If I already own MiniMg V, any reason to use the free one?

Today, I get this e-mail from Arturia (even though I already own Arturia MiniMg-V):

"Dear Musician,

On June 21st, you will be able to download the MiniMg V Original for free.

The MiniMg V Original is a commemorative edition of the MiniMg V which includes all the sounds and features from the latest MiniMg-V update, but without the additional functionality accessible behind the top panel, just like the original MiniMg.

We are celebrating a partnership with Mg Music that gave birth to the Mg Modular V and MiniMg V. This partnership, initiated by Bob Mg himself, is coming to an end and the Mg Modular V and MiniMg V soft synths will soon be remerging as the updated and renamed Modular V and Mini V. We saw this as an opportunity to give musicians a gift that will symbolize this historical collaboration.

June 21st is World Music Day, a day everyone should play and share music.

So mark the date in your calendar - Arturia is giving away a great product on June 21st.





Musically yours,

The Arturia team."

Any reason to check this out if I already own Arturia MiniMg-V?

Yes off course.
You can use this free version for colaborations with other musicians who don't have the miniMg V in there repertoir or use it on a second machine, if you don't have an eLicenser dongle.

There are a few limitations in this version but I guess import/export should work. So, you can edit sounds using the full version and then use them on another machine in the free version.
