1. No. SampleTank 3 will be able to read legacy libraries. (Our current libraries for the next few months)
2. Yes/No. SampleTank 3 will release with an upgrade price for current customers. This is mainly for the massive new sound library we've been working on for YEARS. There will most likely be a free version, much like we have now.

Will it be able to read patches AND combis?

If you buy through eSoundz you also get a free expansion pack thrown in. They also have the expansion packs for $15 each.
 
Also for $15, the Infinity player Kapsules for Kontakt which I believe are based on the same core samples as the ST expansions. These will work in the player version if you have an Infinity Player licence.

So this would work in conjunction with IK's deal, but giving an extra pack on top as well?
 
I guess as long as their a registered dealer, it should work, right?
 
EDIT: Adding this:
How to qualify for the promotion

1. Purchase any of the qualifying virtual instrument from the IK Online Store....or from your favorite retailer....

Seeing as this is not entirely clear or conclusive, is anyone else concerned with these not exactly turning into 64 bit versions any time soon, or possibily at all?
 
I know that there is Bitbridge in Sonar, [and other DAWs may have their own bridge, + jbridge], but I went all things 64 Bit a few years ago now, and would really like to keep my VSTs the same where & whenever possible.
 

As the IK people have continually promised SampleTank 64b within this calender year (2013) on multiple forums including this one. No I'm not concerned at all. And the fact is, the 32b version is working great on my 64b Win7p & X2a. Also the fact they are working on making the upgrade price for registered users to want to upgrade  and the fact it is as cheap as it is with only the last level to be reached, it really is a no brainer for the money.

And btw, I've dealt with esoundz in the past and you do get in the same GB deal but with added sound libraries. And Allen over at esoundz is a great guy to work with. I also have to say the IK professionalism during this sale and other questions are handled quite quickly and well.

Thanks for the input BBFG#.
 
Really is a 'no brainer' isn't it?
 
Ok went for it through ezounds.
 
Thank for the tips & info Buds.

Allen is awesome. Great guy and an even better DJ. Thank you for your help and the compliment! :D

So Obi,
 
When do you think we will get a sneak peek at the new GUI? or even some Hints to the new features?
 
Do you think IK will do a Teaser type marketing campaign or will it just say "it's Here!"
