Is content of Sample Tank 4 duplicate ?

Postby Grolux121 » Tue Aug 10, 2021 11:48 pm

Hello,
I first bought SampleTank 4 SE, and SampleTank 4, and SampleTank 4 MAX...

So I got all those libraries, but it seems that some contents are duplicated :

- SampleTank 4 CS : 0
- SampleTank 4 SE : 24.9 GB
- SampleTank 4 : 83.4 GB
- SampleTank 4 MAX : 157 GB

And SampleTank 3 is 121 GB
And a folder name « Samples/SampleTank 4 » : 170 GB

Is there a way to make some space on my SSD ?
Thank's

My understanding is that all of the instruments are in the ST4 MAX library. If so, then you can delete the others, but please do your own checks first.

Have a look at the PDFs linked at the bottom of this page: https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/st4/?pkey=sampletank-4-max#soundlist especially the "Compare version" PDF.

Where is this folder? "Samples/SampleTank 4"

Thank's a lot.

I organized the IK files for SampleTank 4 this way :

1- No samples here, just the folders who need to be there (as documented on Darkstar pdf)

​C:\Users\Public\Documents\IK Multimedia :
---Subfolders :
-Effects Presets

-Instruments

-Samples(empty)

-SampleTank 3
---Subfolders :
-Arpeggios
-Effects Presets
-Instruments (empty)
-Multis
-Samples(empty)

-SampleTank 4
---Subfolders :
-Arpeggios
-Effects Presets
-Modulations
-Patterns
-Sets
-Strummer

2- All samples are here with the necessary folders (as documented on Darkstar pdf)

D:\!- Libraries-D\IK Multimedia :
---Subfolders :
-Effects Presets (redondant. Cleanup to do)
-Imported instruments(empty)
-Imported Samples (empty)
-Instruments (SampleTank 4 = 2.5 GB)
-Library Info
-Library Ressources
-Multis
-Phraser
-Samples(SampleTank 4 = 170 GB)

It works for me almost perfectly... I don't find the « Berlin Grand Piano » file
Where can I get it ?

Thank's

Hmm, those folder organisations look different from the ones I have here.

The best thing to do is check it out with Technical Support, who will also be able to help you with the Berlin Grand Piano
