Don't miss this freebie if you don't already have SampleTank

It's IK Multimedia's SampleTank FREE, which has been around for a while but now has no restrictions - it's fully functional, just with a smaller sample library than the $200 product. I picked up Sampletank for fifty bucks in the recent group buy and it's turned out to be surprisingly useful.

+1 on SampleTank
I also got in on that group buy (2x) and found it very useful as well.....my problem is trying to find the right instrument when sorting through that huge library....I guess it's better to have more than less. Will probably start making my own preset folder & keep the favorites there. But, I find myself going to ST on a regular basis. 

*edit* Iworked it out

I am having a HELL of a time getting this thing to work

I think I am going to get a reputation....
 
I have SampleTank up and running with the exception that if I insert it in Sonar, i get a message that I am not running it with Administrator Privileges (I have changed the preferences for the program to run as admin). If I open it as standalone it is fine but asks me to register it which I need a serial no. for and I cant find the serial no.  Seems a pretty good bit of gear though and I have found many usable sounds already.
 
The studio String plug in is working perfectly. AAS finally worked out that they had left the .au off the end of my email and all fixed after that. Took a while though but they were persistent whilst helping me. I really like that bit of gear. When I got it I was hoping for lush string swells and backing. To me its not really that but some of the other sounds that I gives are fantastic and a really nice surprise.
 
 

Here is the patch list. Note that the library includes stuff from all the ST-based products, including SonicSynth, SampleTron and Miroslav Philharmonik.

Another note: if you already have the full ST 2.5, you don't need this free version as it contains nothing you don't already have.

esoundz is selling some older libraries for $22 apiece that are compatible with SampleTank FREE. I have no idea if these are any good or not, but at that price it might be worth taking a chance.

I think you should have obtained a serial number via email. (I'm just guessing because I already had the full SampleTank product and have not obtained the free one.)

If you did not get one, email IKM support. They were pretty helpful when I had some download issues. Once you do get a serial number, you should be able to go to http://www.ikmultimedia.com/userarea and click on the "Product Registration" link on the left of the page.

Ha!  I'm downloading the free sounds now.
I'm wondering what other things I'm supposed to download?
I suppose I will find out.

Thanks,
Larry

the sounds and the player are 2 seperate things.. probably just 2 files with the free one
