SampleTank 4 [and 4.0.8] Now Available!

Hi silver-machine

Hi
Does anyone know why the effect units do not work on Sonic Synth,Sampletron,Samplemoog??

I can't test Sonic Synth or Samplemoog as I don't have them, but effects (new installed or ones in with the preset) are working as expected for me on SampleTron.

Just wondering why some sounds from ST3 sound distorted in ST4, especially the Woodwinds. Is this some software glitch or some settings to be done?

Although I haven't tried all the ST3 presets in ST4, I have gone through about a dozen of the Woodwinds and can't hear anything distorting or glitchy.

I suggest you open a ticket with Official IK Support for some one-to-one help.

Some of the sounds are distorted in higher notes. So not the full register is distorted, but only the upper octave

Can you give me a couple of specific examples to try.

Hi Garfy
I have sampletron and will take a look at that.
When i choose a sound in these older synths a couple or three effects pop up automatically and you can also put the effect units in, but the controls on the effects have no effect on the already made sound. All effect units work on Sampletank 3 and 4 sounds .

I put a ticket in , but probably will not get an answer until middle of next week.

The effects are working for me with Sonic Synth and SampleMoog. The originally settings are mapping to the new versions of the effects and I can also make adjustments. I'm on the latest MacOS and Logic.

dang, I thought I was out of the woods. About to put ST2 and ST3 out to pasture. But when I was testing Imported instruments effects for silver-machine, I discovered that many of my imported ST2 Philharmonik instruments are corrupt. Loading the samples seems to get aborted (no error message though) and the upper range is choppy and distorted. One example is "Cellos Exp LP LNG". I went back to ST3 (where they were originally imported from ST2) and they play fine there.

Hello, im a new SampleTank 4 user. I have a bug or installation problem. All the individual instrument (Library of SampleTank 4 only) are 3 times each instrument. So, for choose one sound is very annoying. Example, if i chose a synth there is a 3 versions of the same exact synth, and so on. The other libraries like Sampletank 3, The Grid, Phillarmonic SE, etc. are ok. What can i do? I have all my audio system working fine, and don't won't to re install all! thanks again, and great sound indeed

This was resolved with the 4.0.2 update (see above) and the library updates that were released at the same time. Please install the sound library updates and then 4.0.2 from your IK User Area and this issue will be fixed.

Ok, thanks for the ultrafast reply

How many items to download in total there is?

And there is a variation, difference between this days of the week for the libraries to download?

Like re download the pianos or something? Thanks again

Hello all,

I've been very excited with this new SampleTank 4 and bought the MAX version. I had Sampletank 3 before and some "additions" to it like Miroslav Philharmonik 2.

My question goes: How do I proceed after I have installed the SampleTank_4_0_2 executable? This is probably a silly question, but as I do not remember how I did it before with SampleTank 3 I go ahead with this.
I've unzipped all the 97 or so (not including the installation 4.0.2) packages to a directory and now I see a lot of .exes to install, but also a lot of folders from where I can find for example (on many of those) Install SampleTank 4 Sound Content.exe

I think what I'm trying to figure out is that in what order and what installation files I need to run after Install SampleTank 4 (Ver. 4.0.2).exe ? I would think that I need to install the different sound packages, but still a bit puzzled.
Tried to read quite a few forum posts and user guide, but... shrug.

Cheers...

Hi, after installing SampleTank 4.0.2 you would need to run the installer inside each of the sound library zip/dmg files to install the sound library content.

Can i remind you that this forum is for the people to discuss their problems . That is why it is a community. The people have a right to have a moan about problems as you never get the truth from the horses mouth
Well, That is only my opinion no offence to anyone

The new acoustic drum kits in ST4 Max are all excellent but I cannot see menu items available to route the individual kit sections to separate outputs (like those provided for the Peart, Bozzio and Cobham kits etc in ST3?)

Ok thank you Peter. Seems I have quite a few installers to run then, some of them in the root directory (counted 34 .exe files, if counting in like library update 1.2 .exe also) and some inside the different folders. I hope it works like when I run the .exe from ST4_Guitars_Samples_Part1, it goes through all the Samples folder of this "instrument" till number 11..

Anyway, I was fearing this... to be honest, but I try to survive One installer with options to choose would be better of course.

One more question, is there any way to check after all the installs, that I've done it right? I mean like from the SampleTank 4 program itself.. or is it just knowing that when the different sounds and instruments work, I've done it right? No, checksums, or anything like that?

Cheers...

Hi
I have got past the guitars now and have about 20% to load all up
I have meticuously loaded each section under adminsistrator.
My library has updated and i checked to see if all ok
Now most of the sections displayed have a downward arrow and if i click on them it leads me to the Ik Multimedia site not my instruments downloaded even when i clicked on show authorizations and all.What is going on here??
This is such a pain method of putting instruments in your program.
We are paying customers and we are being treated like beta testers in my opinion
