I'm not here to discuss how IK's sample-based products compare to others. We're talking 12-20 hours to put this in usable form on my machine. Customers are literally required to select a batch (which is a pain because the list barely shows 10 in the window and when you try to select them the auto-scroll kicks in and makes your attempt of keeping your place a complete mockery), wait a few hours (assuming there are no network interruptions, which spoiler alert, they happen) and then repeat this process 5-6 more times. Ever.Įven though you can *technically* download 10 at time there's just no way to overnight this one like I usually do with huge downloads, which are typically done through download managers like Continuata Connect or similar. So IKMultimedia: if you're still here can we talk about the installation process for this behemoth? I am 100% certain I can speak for every composer in the world when I say that no one wants to manually download 61 (sixty one!!!) individual files for a single product. But I have some relevant feedback for IKMultimedia (hopefully they're paying attention) that might also serve as useful information for anyone considering purchasing the software. Sorry for the thread resurrect, but despite pre-ordering ST4 a while ago I only got around to downloading and installing it this week because I was waiting on a new computer. Performance is generally good, but combining large sample instruments can cause trouble.įor an all-round multitimbral software instrument, I think SampleTank 4 is a great choice. There is a lot of great sounds to discover here.Ĭrashes are rare, but can occur when switching too quickly between instruments based on large samples. Very powerful and flexible stuff.Īs for the sounds, highlights include strings, pianos, EP’s, organs, wood winds, vocals and synths. I have also bought Syntronik by IK Multimedia, as these sounds can be loaded and played in ST4. ST4 can run as a stand alone application, so there is no need for a VSTi host, which makes it even easier to run. The synth workstation-like interface, makes it very easy to set up sounds, combine them in all kinds of splits and layers and switch between them using MIDI program changes from my keyboards. That is, as a multitimbral instrument that provides additional sounds to my hardware keyboards. I am using ST4 very much as a rack synth. For me, SampleTank 4 has been a great, simple and low risk way to incorporate many more sounds into my live rig.
