No need to download them all. You can just download a few that interest you, one at a time. In the Spitfire Audio app, under the LABS tab, it will show all of the available libraries. They are initially shown in the "Not Installed" list. As you install them, the ones on your computer will show in the "Installed" list.

I understand. To a hardcore "collector" this is a clever scheme by Spitfire to frustrate! 😁

Well actually, LABS download is ala carte. The free LABS products are available as you are ready for them. No need to be added to a specific user account, as there is no account required, other than "installed" or"not downloaded" under the LABS tab in your Spitfire Audio app.

Yep, I grabbed that one, as well as a those for a few Cherry Audio synths, such as CA2600, Eight Voice, Polymode, & Memorymode.

There are currently 43 free libraries in the LABS collection. It is a collection of unique samples that you may find useful if you are into sound design. I have about 19GB installed in my LABS sample folder. https://www.spitfireaudio.com/labs/getting-started/ It uses its own player, that opens as a plugin, which is very minimalist. You have control over expression (volume), modulation, and reverb. Everything else is baked into the preset. But there are some interesting and unique sounds in here!

Figured out that the corrupted download was going into "My Documents" folder, which remained after the unpacking error. And that was why the downloader would not restart. So SoundPaint Downloader assumed that the Piano was already installed on the PC. Blowing that folder away allowed me to restart the download. Still getting a corrupt download every time I try for some reason... finally sent an email to support.

Nope. Windows 10 PC only. Every time the download completes OK, but during unpacking I get this:

What Ed said ^^^ 😁

I wouldn't know. The download is still hosed up in my account. Deleted the first attempt due to corruption, now the download will not restart. Got the app and plugin installed, but no piano! Will try again tomorrow, if no luck then, will try support.

Not like the Bass Guitar, which actually has 2 presets labeled as DI. But you can turn the reverb effect down all the way, and get them as dry as was recorded. They probably ran some through a basic amp.

Um, nothing to purchase? Install free, or not.

Nice lead and plucks! Toss in your favorite AmpliTube 5 preset and have fun! 😎

2.2 GB. Might take a minute!

I'm glad that some folks are always eager to test the new releases. But for me, I'm usually the last one over the wall! I spent my life in IT, and stability is my most valued asset...

6 hours to go!

I would say that you did OK, since SampleTron 2 got you in at the $199 GB freebie level, which covers most of the good stuff!

"Welcome back my friends, to the show that never ends..."

There's only 4 days left. Last minute rush! 🤣

As somebody has pointed out earlier, you still may need to buy something at the $99 level first, before joining the GB. It is not entirely clear fom what you posted if you qualify for crossgrade prices. That is so that you will be eligible for the big hitter freebies at the $199 level, such as the MODO's and the Hammond. Those are crossgrade price tier freebies at $199. So you will not see them as available freebies if you do not already own an IK product with MSRP of $99 or up.

I got the SoundPaint host installed, but no instruments yet. The piano download f'd up me, and after that it was blocked. The official release is tomorrow at 12 PM PST.

As Larry already said, shooting for the $199 tier is a good plan! That should get you the most bang for the buck on freebies. For example, for the $199 tier you get MODO Bass, MODO Drum, Hammond B-3X, MixBox, SampleTank 4, Syntronik, plus plenty of extras in the lower tiers like T-RackS modules and AmpliTube collections, and some instruments like Miroslav 2 CE, and some SampleTank instruments.

SampleTron 2 is listed in the Custom Shop under the SampleTank tab for 200 GC.
