I decided to get the WG2MKII upgrade and find out. Worst thing is they tell me it won't work and either give me my money back or I pay the difference.

Fleer Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 If I remember well, the Black was Mk2, not the White. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzie Foster Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Hm. I should have looked. The White is also MK2. Oh well, guess I paid too much. By a whole $6. LOL! I was getting the GUI mixed up with the SSG. And? I had to go back and rename the files because I never remember them based on the file name. Which then means I forget I have them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitzroy Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Anyone compared the 'originals' vs MK2? I like the 7CG, so I'd upgrade if MK2 is a noticeable improvement. On the other hand, I also have the White Grand and don't use it much. I find the higher registers a bit harsh sounding; I don't think that sympathetic resonance can do much about that.

Fleer Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Interesting. So that Sampletekk White Grand in the APD bundle (with the Black MkII) is indeed a MkII as well. So, is it the White MkII or the WG2 MkII? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 so I bought the upgrade from WG Jr to White Grand and its showing in my order history but nothing is showing in my downloads, do we have to wait for orders to be approved manually? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a small company so everything is done manually. Depending on time of day, you would normally have to wait maybe half a day or so until the download links appear in your account. I bought the Rain Piano Mk II two days ago and found the links in my account within a couple of hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

locrian Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I just bought the WG2 MkII and can't stop playing it! At first it seemed to have this wierd kind of hollow sound to it, but there's something extremely musical about it. Previously the Embertone Walker Steinway D was my favorite piano to play; but now I have another favorite. What I like about the Walker D is that it's so clean and resonant. The WG2 MkII on the otherhand is very 'colored' and full of character. The difference is like a Taylor (Walker D) vs. a Martin (WG2 MkII). For $20 it's and amazing buy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzie Foster Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 (edited) Still waiting on my upgrades. I wonder if I should just email them to keep the difference since I made the mistake? I mean, if that is the problem? Edit: Email worked. I think it was the White vs White MKII that was a problem. And I realized there is no upgrade from White MKII to WG MKII. My error. Thanks Sampletekk for letting it go.... Edited June 5, 2020 by Dzilizzi added stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Fowler Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I've always had a soft spot for Sampletekk. I really think it's a shame they don't sell the Emperor/Old Lady anymore, though; they were beautiful sounding instruments. The price/ quality ratio of their stuff is hard to beat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleer Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Yeah, Emperor & Old Lady were quite good. Got them just before they were gone. If I remember well, they were PMI- sourced. Also, Per@Sampletekk did some of those famous and great sounding Nord-pianos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canopus Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Yes, he has sampled a large number of instruments for other companies like Steinberg, Toontrack, Nord Keyboard, XLN Audio, Reason Studios and Kurzweil. He has e.g. sampled all four instruments in XLN Audio’s Addictive Keys series, as well as the Classic Electric Wurlitzer 200A, Grand Piano, Retro Electrics and Upright Piano in Toontrack’s EZ Keys series, to name but a few. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
