Still no option to change skins.  Just the one incredibly dark gui.  Very disappointing.

While I'd like to be able to change the colors in SampleTank, at this point I'm just psyched that they're even doing maintenance work on it.

Maybe the ability to change UI colors will come with ST 5, whenever that comes out.

I have installed it.  It opens In Cakewalk.  I Created a 4 measure drum loop with Billy Cobham Kit using Cal Scripts I have written.

Sampletank 4.25 Works fine here.

Sampletank is huge with lots of content.  Are you having a specific issue with a specific function or specific content or preset?

No issues. just checking as I am sometimes worried about IK updates as they break things sometimes. 

 

What is a Cal script?

What is a Cal script?

A CAL script is a text file that one can open in Cakewalk that can programmatically manipulate or enter MIDI data inside Cakewalk.

CAL stands for Cakewalk Application Language.  It has been available in various iterations of Cakewalk going back a few decades. 

Up until around 2002, one could edit CAL scripts directly inside Cakewalk. 

Fortunately, the latest versions of Cakewalk and Sonar can still load and execute them.

Reminds of that song by Paul Simon, “You can call me CAL”.

Actually, that is a valid concern. 

I can remember one early Sampletank 4 update broke how it dealt with Pitch Bend.  On every preset, the actual bend amount did not match the dialled amount. 

Took them a few months to issue a fix after I reported that issue to IK Multimedia.

I had to include variations in my Sampletank 4 projects to cater for this bug while it existed.

Geez, I am truly impressed you can do that.  I thought I was doing good to change the color of a track.
