Has anyone else given up on SampleTank after going 64bit?
For me It constantly crashes Sonar X1, won't load properly... unusable.

I've only had it for a few days, but it seems stable so far. I've been using SONAR in Windows 7 64bit for a couple of years now, and I was hesitant to pick up any new 32-bit software, but I've heard of enough people using it that I figured I'd be safe. I've had a few other plugins that occasionally hang BitBridge when closing a project, but haven't had that happen yet with SampleTank.

It doesn't work for me with BitBridge or jBridge.

It runs well for me, but for some reason I have a ton of patches that either won't load or cannot be found...? Could be user error, but haven't spent time to diagnose. Been having too much fun with Z3ta2 lately...
Just barely jumped in on the Sonik Synth 2 deal, and my plan is to completely switch over to it from Sampletank. What a no brainer of a deal.
I actually really liked Sampletank. No complaints other than random patch issues.

I have had it for a couple of years and with 64bit Win OS all that time. No problems or related crashes that I can recall. I have not used it all that much because I find the GUI's fonts too small. I have learned to use the Windows Magnifer for this issue, but that has been my only real complaint--the small GUI. Like some others around here, I load all of my IK synth libraries (Miroslav, SampleTron, SampleMoog, SampleSynth) into SampleTank. Many are also waiting for SampleTank3 and/or 64bit native. Again, I have not had the trouble you are reporting, and I use it with Bitbridge in Sonar X1.

Don't hold your breath. It may be years.

I've had a few crashes since installing new patches on it. Very annoying.

ST works for me but I stopped using it. I'm tired of straining my eyes to read that itty bitty gui.
The thing I HATE about ST is that all the sounds are clumbsy as in they are not organized very well. You have to search for a long time till you find a sound you want. Stack that on top of a itty bitty gui and who cares? Sad.....

Same here. I bought into the recent group buy. All of the VSTs are stable in my 64bit system. I am generally pleased that I found some new sounds / samples that are better than the ones I was using in a couple of projects. But that tiny GUI is a real pain. Seems like many VST designers think that people using advanced DAWs are running them on last generation monitors set for 640x480 resolution. On my monitor the Sample Tank GUI is so small I find myself leaning forward to try and read the settings.

This is what happens when a company chooses to spend the hard-earned money you send them on licensing deals with already mega-rich superstars instead of updating their crusty old back-catalogue. Call it marketing over-spend in preference of concern toward products and existing customers. It's how they seem to roll some firms. It's become a consumer marketplace. Don't complain that your stuff don't get updated, rejoice in the fact that you've bought everyones favourite guitar hero a new Rolls Royce.

I went to IK's web site to check out the sonik synth deal. I noticed down one side they had a list of 13 featured products. 11 of them were i apps and the others were just add ons for existing products.
I decided that I wasn't going to support them any more and deleted anything IK off my machine. I mean, really? something new for sample tank is like buying a new font collection for Wordstar. A new sound collection exclusively licensed from a guy who's more famous for his hat than his guitar chops.
And the trend seems to be letting the PC users pay big money for an app that they sell for a fraction of the price to the igeneration. I'm done with them. No one wants to be the best anymore, they only want to be the richest.

Yes, they confirmed that the files were from their installer, and were required for the authorisation process, they said they were innocuous, but didn't elaborate on what they actually did. I'm not against copy-protection, but this stuff installs files that are named like system files in sensitive locations which is a bit bogus.

I have found that the ST stuff almost always sits so well in any mix. The GUI is terrible, but musical usability wins for me. Never had any issues with ST not loading properly. Now, Kontakt, that is a completely different story....
Got that Sonik Synth for $29 yesterday. Some repeats of stuff from ST, but lots of goodness.
