    SampleTank 4 is Out

    That puzzled me at first.

    But then I noticed SampleTank 3 content downloads in my IK products link for the SampleTank 4 Standard downloads.

    In the provided products list for ST4, I see way down at the end:

    So it appears that they are also including the existing ST3 instruments, and the list  is mainly showing the "new" content. So you are not really losing anything, but are only gaining what is  actually listed as new. If this is the case, then the ST3 and ST4 content is intended to be used together to provide the complete sound library.

    My guess is that you don't actually need to install the ST3 content again if you already have that, but it is available for new ST4 users. This is just a guess, since I am an ST3 "upgrade" customer. We will probably need to hear from a newbie to confirm this.

    Yes I guess they are including ST3 to fill in the gaps. For me though I already have ST3 MAX so I'm only really interested in what's included in ST4. I also have full Miroslav Philharmonic (not to mention lots of other string libraries) so I am well covered but I just thought the standard ST4 should include some strings. I was thinking that ST4 standard would maybe include all (or most) of the instruments but just have fewer articulations compared to MAX.

    I am also assuming that I don't need to download any of the ST3 bits as I already have these installed plus quite a bit extra from ST3 MAX. I have now downloaded everything new in ST4 but I am holding off installing anything until some of the teething problems I have read about on KVR have been fixed.

    The IKM ST4 webpage now includes lists of what's included with each version....

    I am quite surprised at what's not included in the ST4 standard version.

    It doesn't have the variety of instrumentation that I would have expected e.g. no strings.  ST3 standard version had more variety.

    For someone needing a general purpose sample library that would make ST4 MAX almost a necessity.

    Good to know about the download speed!

    But that question about missing files is the reason I am holding off. It appears that the official release date was rushed, and there may be some inevitable growing pains as a result. I think I'd rather just heave to and wait for this storm to blow over!

    For example, what if they pushed the wrong download files in some cases, and they may have to replace or correct some of them? The download and install is a long tedious process that I would rather not repeat.

    I'll probably just download the ST4 app and have a play with my existing libraries, to satisfy my curiosity for now. :D

    Peter has now confirmed that non-sequential part numbering is correct if you don't have the MAX version. 👍

    I am trying to resist trying out the new interface until I have all the instruments. 

    I do think it's a shame that they didn't have a less manual method for downloading and installing.

    Same here. But think I will wait a bit to start the downloading. Some comments over at KVR seem to indicate early  issues with a few downloads.

    Yes I have been following that thread on KVR (and contributing myself). So far so good with the download and the speed keeping up OK at the moment.

    Got about 40Gb so far..

    I have an unanswered question about the download part numbering, for example, the download list shows ST4 Acoustic Drum Kit Sample Part 1 and then Part 4. I would like to know whether that is because you only get parts 2 and 3 with the MAX version or is there something missing from my downloads?

    Looks like Time Space is the winner for discount!

    Yup, and I have 10 pounds of rewards with them although they do make us UK folk pay vat. ☹️

    That's a very reasonable price ZT, and I'm definitely with you on this. 👍 

    Hey, good to see you here Mesh 😎

    Yes it seems like a no brainer although I might just hang on to see if JRR etc can do it any cheaper as I still have some credit with some vendors which should knock a bit more off the price.

    My question is pricing of upgrading TH3 to TH-U

    Hey TS, I just had an email from Overloud with upgrade pricing from full TH3 to TH-U -->

    Until Feb 28th the intro pricing is €49 or $59 (after the intro pricing it will be €89 or $99).

    I will definitely be doing the upgrade which is around 43 GBP currently.

    Thanks for the original post HS.

    DS Thorn at Plugin Alliance

    I opened a ticket about it at PA, but have gotten no response.  I'm not sure they care.  But I bet Dmitry does, he's a good guy.

    I have also opened a ticket with them and haven't had a response. 

    My point is that when Plugin Boutique were selling Thorn they would offer upgrades for owners of Tantra like me at special prices (not $19 but more like $60). I assume that this was with Dmitri's blessing?  I would like to think that this would continue under Plugin-Alliance's management but I don't see how it can unless they have a valid record of who already owns other DS products (or maybe it can use serial numbers from other products?).
