Machine, I wholeheartedly disagree. Pretty much that places Dimension Pro in a similar category. Yes, sampletank shares some features with more full featured samplers but I doubt anyone including the people at IK use them the same. I know people who build their own instruments, drum kits and other advanced sample manipulations. Kontakt does everything but sample from external sources that a hardware sampler does. Good luck trying to build a multisample instrument within sampletank.

I thought SampleTank 3 let you layer, split and multi now so you can create your own multi's like kontakt.
 
ST3 product page - "Want to combine an Acoustic Bass with a Vibraphone? It's a breeze. Just assign whatever Parts you'd like to  the same MIDI channel. It's just as simple to split your keyboard to play multiple instruments"
 
ST3 has macros' kontakt has scripts, st3 has effects, kontakt has effects,.
 
I just think they are more similar now then st2.5 was.

I did not mean multiple instruments. I was referring to a basic sampler function like making a multisample instrument. St3 has preset multiple sample instruments like most romplers but creating one in the manner one typically can with a sampler is not happening. Sample editing is pretty much limited to envelope type functions and time stretching. St3 compares more to kontakt player with more user options and basic sample import features.

Kite..I had the same issue with standalone yesterday. Then suddenly it just worked. Keeping an eye on that

 Someone posted a fix on the IK forums that worked.  Install ASIO4ALL and it opened up. Then I changed the output to the right drivers. Very odd.

These issues have been reported (including the current workaround) so support and development are aware.  Thanks for relaying the workaround here.

 Reason has a function where you can record into their samplers internal and external.  NNXT. NN19 are a hassle to program compared to Kontakt and that why you see very few libraries for Reason.
 
 Does anyone remember VSampler that came with Sonar 3?  That was a very underrated sampler. Too bad it's not developed anymore. 

I wish IK would have extended the pre order price of $99 a little longer........guess I have to wait for a sale

It occurs to me that should make something clear:
 
Larry I very much value your opinions, contributions and input here on any subject not involving IK.

I will agree with you on this also Drew.
