Just as a reminder of the self imposed deadline from IK Pete
 

IK PeteSampleTank 3 will be out by end of this year, 2013.  If not, I authorize Obi to give you you a serial for T-RackS CS Grand and another for AmpliTube 3 with his and IK's compliments.  That's a lot of $$ worth of software

 
I've been gathering a few recipes to prepare my crow, but it looks like all I'm getting is some lousy serial numbers... 

Well, here are two things I don't have and my countdown to Dec. 31st has just begun......I wonder if good ol' Pete will keep to his words?
 
 
 

I've "piled on" once too many times already!
But, if I'm "honest", Amplitude is my "goto" when laying down tracks, and I don't have a project that something TRackS isn't on somewhere...
X2 "hosed" Tank, Tron, Miraslav, all the old samplers
(I don't know why I'm the only one with issues there, that re-scan thingy killed 'em;
after that X1 & 8.5.3 wouldn't even run them),
so I WILL gladly jump on ST3...

rtucker55 is right Obi, if we didn't love man, we'd just ignore ya.
(That don't mean I wanna take long hot showers with ya though...)

Well they must have taken the heated back in forth comments down where it did say that at one time in the comments section and today I couldn't find that post at all. It was funny to read the back and forth between two jaded customers and IK staff. Wish it was still up.

I tried ST 2.5 a long time ago and couldn't use it because of the interface and my eyes. Is there any reason why I should consider ST3 now that I'm heavily invested in Kontakt and Komplete? Is there a killer sound that would drag me into a new sample system?
 
Obi, if you're out there tell me why I need your sampler rather than continuing to invest in Kontakt libraries.

Obi, if you're out there tell me why I need your sampler rather than continuing to invest in Kontakt libraries.

Because it will add to IK's world domination plan (using six year old samples)

New recorded samples.  plays all old ST2/2.5 libraries.
 
new interface bigger easier on the eyes.  better patch selection.
 
that's all that is known, everything else is wait until more info is given.

 Lol, I really doubt that IK will be willing to give anyone here those promised plugs if ST3 doesn't launch before 2013 ends. I imagine IK reps are looking in on this thread now and formulating their damage control plans.  I'm sure they know by now if they will be ready to launch by then.
 
I have little at stake with the few synths I have, I would have got all of their synths during that last group buy, but the events that took place here with their street reps left me with a bad taste.  I haven't gone as far as Larry has by boycotting them completely, but I will not spend more than $25 on anything from them now and future purchases all depends on how they handle Sample tank 3.
 If I have to pay anything to upgrade to 64bit for the sounds I already have, I'll stick with what I have and move on to another vendor for my sounds. Then I'll only be interested in whatever they offer for free.
 
 I've never seen a street rep post or forum spam from any of the other big players like NI or EWQL. The thought crosses my mind often that when a company starts spending more money on marketing and street reps, actual research and development suffers and that company may have lost the plot. I am leaning toward this belief about IK, but I'm going to wait to see how this all plays out.
 
As far as IK Pete goes, if Sample tank 3 isn't released before the first of the year, he is totally indifferent to the truth

NAMM will be the first public showing, and that is January 2014.

Oh dear, I guess that means Pete didn't bother to get his facts straight. They owe Guitarpima some free plugs for sure....
How about it Obi, has Pete authorized you to give him his serial numbers that were promised along with Ik's and your compliments?
