Glad to hear everything is working! 😄

We did get the list of sounds up for the pre order pricing, but just in case you missed it, you can check out the full list below. Scroll to the bottom of this page.

https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/st4/index.php?p=versions&utm_source=forum&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=sampletank4

For anyone who is updating to SampleTank 4.0.4, make sure to get the sound content updater version 1.3! This is under the 'Sounds Downloads' list under SampleTank 4 in your User Area -> My Products .

Nope, there was only list for Sampletank 4 Max in january 16th when I ordered ST4 Standard! I only did know that will contain

about 70 Gb new sounds, but not excatly what these sounds will be!🤔

But then again I am happy I ordered Sampletank 3 upgrade with free upgrade to new ST4  for 99 eur !!!!😅😍

Hi. If you want those instruments for a good price, you could take look at the Sonivox and Air bundles. They are often on sale and are pretty good imho

I already have big AIR bundle with Structure etc. the are quite nice !

Thanks! I bumped my DropoutMsec  up to 2000, and that seems to have taken care of the dropout on loading!

Yes, thanks for this very good advice and now I got happily rid of dropouts too!!

Everything works now quite nicely with 4.04 upgrade!

Now I feel sorry thatI  didn't get Sampletank 4 Max insted of ST4 Standard!!!😲

But then I didin't know what sounds ST4 standard will contain because there was no instrument list then available!😰

Only for 100 eur more for ST4 Max and now I am missing with ST4 standard many must-have instruments like

nylon guitar, flute, fluegelhorn, alto sax, all percussion and strings etc. 😨😰

Sampletank 4 loads quite slowly with my 1Tb Hard Disk !

Big Black LP keyswitch takes about one minute !😮

Yes, definitely  I want more keyswitches !!!😛

Sampletank 4 needs memory and diskstreaming improvements and optimizations !

Diskstreaming is very bad.😞

ST4 memory allocation is quite inefficient.
I'll give one example:
-ST3 loads Grand Piano 1 (1,2 Gb) fully to RAM and total memory allocation
in task manager is 1,8 GB.
-ST4 uses diskstreaming when loading same piano and total is 2,5 GB !!!  
So not very efficient disk streaming engine; 500 Mb for 1 Gb file ! 😪

I still wonder  where are keyswitches , especially for woodwind and brass!

There are very many articulations for trumpets and saxes, sometimes nearly 20 different

but no keyswitches!!!??😲

Audio Engine on/off button is show here in the Transport Module,  figure 216-L.

Thanks for this information. I have totally forgotten where is is!!😃

Now I can restart after dropouts and it worked well with C7 grand  and Black LP too!

Black Lp  is huuge file; memory allocation was 4,5 Gb in task manager!!!😮

But CbB loaded fine  files, some with dropouts but no crashing!

I have had issues with some of the big guitars while using the ST4 plugin in Cakewalk. They  have a lot of sample content.

The "Parlor L Pick Full Keyswitch" crashes Cakewalk with an unhandled exception upon loading. On the other hand, the "Parlor L Fingered Full Keyswitch" loads and plays fine, but after a while it will crash.

The "Black LP Full Keyswitch" will load and play.

And the "Red Strat Full Keyswitch" in MAX goes boom here too, but sometimes not until I try to load a different instrument into the same slot in ST4.

Still trying to sort things out here with Cakewalk and ST4. Considered that maybe I need more RAM, as I currently only have 8GB. But if you are having issues with 16GB, that implies that Cakewalk may be struggling with memory demands from the plugin, rather than physical memory limits. I don't have any issues with running ST4 standalone.

 

Ok , thanks for information

I think ST4 works  better in Reaper and standalone, but still sometimes it goes Pooof and vanish suddenly!!

I can reproduce that audio dropout every time with the C7 Grand. If I restart the audio engine, I can play the instrument.

My system specs: Window 10 with the latest Cakewalk on SSD, Intel Core i3-3.4GHz, 8GB RAM, SampleTank Max 4 on 7200 rpm internal SATA HDD.

Have you opened a support ticket with IK support yet?

Not support ticket yet!

I should open it !

How you restart audio engine in CbB or Sonar?

Can you load these big guitars, Parlor and Black LP without problems ?

ST4 is unbelievable RAM guzzler!!!🙄

Over 2Gb memory standalone and VSTi

Kontakt 6 (player) standalone 117 Mb

Independence Pro 170 Mb

I thought Sampletank 3 is big on RAM with 500Mb!!

What are your system specs?

Sampletank 4.02 Standard, Intel i7 3700 and 16 Gb memory!

Yep, not good at all!!!😮

In Reaper it's much better but still crashing often!

 I just tried to load Parlor Acoustic Pick Full Keyswitch and Reaper said pooh and

disappeared !

But still in task manager with 3.6 gb meory allocation !

Sampletank 4 seems to be crashfest😤

Instant Audio Dropout with Sampletank 4!!!😭

Everytime you try to load C7 Grand!!!

It won't work both CbB or Sonar Platinum😪
