Or another Ferrari!

ooh must listen to those! Thanks!

I had exactly the same problem and after an hour of trying contacted support. I had right clicked everywhere except in Banks I think! ''We recommend you to download your expansions from within SynthMaster browser: Please follow these steps: . Go to the preset browser by clicking on the ''Browser'' button . Right click on the Banks list, click on the ''Restore my Preset Banks'' Menu.'

Too much coffee Larry - which reminds me I still owe you one - will be on that soon 🙂

....apart from ' get a life it's free just choose one!' 😉

Having just auditioned everything I don't already have I'm wavering between Cinematique, Analogue Essentials, Reverence and Good Folk for my freebie. The 2021 releases didn't grab me. Tend to think that Good Folk would have limited usage. Any thoughts?

Thanks - I got in touch with IK support when I initially had the crashes and they got me to sort out my folder structure which helped a fair bit - not as many crashes as there had been but still a fair few. I have my samples on an external SSD through USB3.1 (I moved them there from my internal HDD as that is getting on a bit and is due to bite the dust at some point). Although I back stuff up I thought the samples and other important files were better on the new SSD. Maybe them being on an external SSD rather than an internal SSD / HDD could be part of the issue. At some point I'll bite the bullet and fit an internal SSD! My system & programme disc is already an SSD.

Thanks. Yes I always wait for VST scan to finish before opening a project. I do get the occasional crash in ST4 projects generally - especially when going through sounds.

Is it just me or does anyone else find that CbB crashes first time you open a project with Sampletank on a track when you update to the new version of Sampletank ? Same happened with Syntronik 2. Seems ok on reopening the same file. Weird!

That almost tempted me to get full Kontakt until I saw it couldn't be used on existing sale items 😞 I'll just have to keep on complaining 😉

Ooh my favourite instrument! Works with Halion SE as well as full Kontakt - I will have to have a listen to see how it compares to Tarilonte's Desert Winds. Too expensive for me at the moment but if there's a future sale I may snap it up!

Always some great sounds in these packs - thanks! (And kudos for beating Larry to it! 😉 )

Thanks - is there any significant disadvantage in just downloading and using those? - I'm only a hobbyist so would never be used professionally

Eek I'll need a new drive! Though there is room on one of my external HD drives so I'll but on there for now! I was expecting it to be about 2gb max as it was free

Thanks Larry - got the Woodwind as others had gone - probably understandably the least favourite but at least it is a Kontakt Player instrument! 🙂

I would never sign up to a subscription (just not worth it as a hobbyist!) but even if I did this would be a no go - I was expecting Kontakt, Absynth, FM8 etc to be in there for the price. Dire!

Ahem - Full Kontakt 😉

That's almost as bad as Full Kontakt only 😉

Thanks - I've already discovered Pianobook - and have downloaded a few of the Decent Sampler offerings 🙂

I have the first two of the three on that page - LABS & Project Sam Luminous Choir - both are excellent. The third is Full Kontakt so not for me (yet?) but sounds good in the demo

I didn't mention Start as I thought everyone would know about it but you're right there's some great stuff in there. I also have quite a few good Kontakt Player libraries that Native have given away over the years

I meant to mention the Amplesound free guitar & bass!

I have been wondering whether to try those. Assumed that they may not offer much different / better than what I have with Miroslav & Garritan PO. Like BBCSO Discover though they would seem to be a no brainer for anyone without a paid for library.

Fixed! 😉

Oh definitely! Just slipped my mind whilst I was trying to remember the others 🙂
