I would at least go with the Amp 5 SE. I just think you will always kick yourself for not getting the version above the CS. At least that's how it was for me. I just think you will like the whole cab experience without any limitations. Just my thoughts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Satriani pack will work, but you would be missing out on AmpliTube 5's new cabinet section with VIR technology. Only available in SE and above...

That would work I guess. Or are there other recommendations? I'm using Strategy and loving it. Another option would be Stratosphere and it's legendary patch called Legendary EDIT: would gladly recommend MODO Guitar but let's give them time to include it in the next group buy Edited September 10, 2021 by chris.r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Russ Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I missed it in the other 106 pages, but are the freebies transferrable? Or more particularly, if I wanted to buy myself SampleTron could I register a few bonus Amplitube products under my son's account? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No and No 🙂 Quote Free selected promotional products cannot be sold/transferred.

Jacques Boileau Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Quick questions about SampleTank. I am really on the fence on picking up this one as a freebie. The reason is disk space, 100GB is a lot. I am a guitarist, not a keyboard player, but I would certainly use some of the sounds, probably through my bands keyboard player's playing them. Can you install sounds separately, not installing some that you don't care for to save space? There seems to be a lot of sounds I wouldn't need, for example guitar sounds and probably many others! Especially if I get other packages like B-3X, Sampletron and maybe even Miroslav CE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not easily, as the Product Manager is designed to install all of the instruments for your selected edition of ST4. I have MAX and that is all 200GB of instruments installed on my DAW. I took a look at putting a scaled down version of MAX on my laptop and gave up. There's probably a way to do it, but I couldn't be bothered to look into it any further.

That's if you let Product Manager do everything, you can after installation manually go into the SampleTank sound installation directory and delete the instruments and samples you don't want. But if you take the files downloaded by Product Manager, you can pick and choose which ones to install manually (though for SampleTank 4, it can be a lot to slog through manually). Good idea for enhancement request for IK Product Manager. Edited September 10, 2021 by ALC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can then uninstall and then manually install. There is a way to manually download, but I wouldn't recommend it for SampleTank 4 (42 files). But easiest way is to do the deletion after installation. Edited September 10, 2021 by ALC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was an option to download and install all at once, but I also got individual synth entry right in IK Product Manager to install each individually. I kind of hoped there was something similar for SampleTank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing with SampleTank 4 MAX ... all the individual libraries are exposed as separately installable. But SampleTank 4 is a single product so it's all or nothing.
