SampleTank Free for the 2.x version didn't come out for years after the initial release (in case anybody reading this thread is unaware).  We provided 64-bit versions of T-RackS and AmpliTube at no charge to those that owned recent versions (sorry T-RackS 24 or AmpliTube 1 or 2 users, those weren't even as long in the tooth as SampleTank either...).  People interested in the response to the question about "Why SampleTank 3 for 64-bit?" can find the official answer on our forum at Why SampleTank 3 for 64-bit? An explanation.
 
Agree or disagree, we all obviously have the right to our opinions of course.

it is indeed all good larry :)  I just hope you never have to actually experience  true rape. 

and larry...although i purchased sampletank, I am all ears if you know of a $99 multitimbral solution that covers everything sampletank does.  As I said in another post, if I boycotted every company I had an issue with their practices, I would likely be using mostly open source software. There are times i wonder if Adobe isin league with the anti-christ but I still shell out my money every month because i make a living using their products. Even if i was as pissed at IK as you are, I might still get it because other options would cost me more money and affect my business.  i admire your principals and convictions even if I find them to be unfounded.

See...no apology...just CORPORATE ARROGANCE...

This post and thread totally negate the fact that your company left the product COMPLETELY 
unsupported for almost 5 years....in favor of iCrap...and could have simply
GIVEN a ST 3 FREE to those who only wanted to be able to us what they paid for
in a 64 bit environment without issue...

We know all of that information...it's a "Smoke Screen"...thanks again for proving it...

This only goes to show that people just WANT...that's why some who get raped
desire to have an intimate (howbeit, meaningless and abusive) relationship with 
the Rapist....

I certainly empathize...as I was a victim myself Dub...so keep those comments out of it...
(it's an analogy...and a good one...as, in Rape, someone UNWILLINGLY GETS USED
and someone SELFISHLY BENEFITS)

This has to do with a company that failed it's customers...some may not think so....
a VAST many do (most have moved to Kontakt or some other Sampler (not ROMPLER, which
is what ST 3 is..) due to the SEVERE lack of support for this product...

The sad part is ....IK knows what they did...and make no apology for it...

I totally respect others rights to do as they please and buy what they want...
but I DO NOT support or respect a Companies right to do whatever it pleases at the expense
of it's Customers and the Products they paid good money for....


I will say no more on this....

Todd Akin, is that you??;)
