SampleTank 4 [and 4.0.8] Now Available!

After updating to 4.07 ST4 it can't find the path to the instruments again

When I upgraded to ST4, the program refused to load the ST3 sounds, even though all paths were present and correct. The ST4 path was before the ST3 path.

Deleting both and putting the ST3 path first fixed it, now everything is loadable.

I think I've solved my problem and thanks for the replies. My Problem is I am running my Mac from an external hard drive but have just noticed that the ex drive doesn't show up in devices. The Mac drive that does show up in devices is the main internal hard drive which was leading me to think that it was the ex hard drive. Don't know how I didn't notice it before. I'm busy loading the sound content manually to the ex drive and will post if everything is OK when complete. Once again thanks for the replies.

My earlier problem is still not solved, I can now use all the sounds in the ST4 sound content but no matter what I do it tells me now that the path I give it for ST3 has no content. Both ST3 and 4 are in the same IKMultimedia folder, both ST3 and 4 appear as registered in the ST4 programme window. Also, I have Miroslav Philharmonik 2 which sits in the ST3 instruments folder and ST4 loads every instrument from it no bother but it refuses to load ST3 instruments. How do I get ST4 to find the ST3 sound content. The sound content and samples are in the path that I give it but I always get the can't find content at this folder path.

This sounds like it would be best to work directly with IK Support to get resolved. Please open a ticket at http://www.ikmultimedia.com/contact-support for assistance if you have not already done so. They will surely assist you.

What is the path reported in the error? ST should report where it can't find the files. In my case, it was looking for the ST3 files under the ST4 path, even though the ST3 path was correctly specified, as well as the ST4 path (which was listed first).

Deleting both paths, then adding the ST# path first fixed the issue. I had filed a support ticket, but they were unable to help (though this was several weeks ago, and they may have picked up on the issue since).

I've got ST4 sorted now, it is loading everything now. I tried your thing about deleting both ST4 and ST3 paths then loading ST3 first but it didn't work because of my ex drive configuration as I explained earlier, however, I've did it again putting ST3 first and the problem is solved. Many thanks for your contribution it is very much appreciated.
