WOW. I spend some time enjoying live music in Austin for SXSW and I come back to this. Interesting, your concerns haven't fallen on deaf ears, we are indeed in development. A GUI was shown at NAMM to select few and we ARE INDEED set for a 2013 release. As for a more exact date....well that'll be a surprise.

Perhaps, but it's your lowest priority.  I suspect they've budgeted a part timer working in the basement for $10 an hour working on a single core system with 2 gig s of RAM.

Obi please simple answers for simple questions :


1) can you show us the gui 
2) do all those sampletank 2.5 based instruments (samplmoog sampletron ect) will be usable and compatible with the S3 engine ...thos deals arec crazy ...
3) will you offer upgrades great option for total bundles owners ?
4) i keep having points that i never use cause we never can on promos ....basically people never use them unless they pay some the full price ....!

5)people own several times products , for exemple i already own t-rack grand and gonna buy total studio maybe ...why we never have option to upgrade (i'm not talking upgrdae to a promo deal , wxitch could be even greater !!)

I agree with the delays on ST, but I gotta say that their verbs, compressors, and ARC are the bomb and 64 bit.

I've had Sample Tank FREE in my account for over a year but I've never downloaded or installed it 
Is this a lite version?

@zo - 1) No. 2) SampleTank 3 will be backwards compatible with all of our current libraries. 3) Still to be determined. We focus on the development and then the pricing/upgrading and such. 4)Thats the point. They are for people that don't want to wait and would still like a discount. If there is already a discount then they aren't eligible. You can also use them to buy credits in the Custom Shop for T-Racks or AmpliTube gear modes. 5) For the Total Workstation and Total Studio Bundles, there isn't an upgrade option. But it is something we are looking into for the future.

Since you're here quite a bit lately could you please answer my question to my previous post?

if the IK staff were as good at developing / releaseing updates instead of spamming up my FB page with spam for i-apps.. then I'd be happier..

I really suggest they use another FB page for people who do pc music as I don't want to know about such apps..

every time they post one.. just ask where is 64 bit pc apps ? like I do.. maybe they'll get the hint

also IK's money making racket for downloads + transfers STINKS compared to other companies who do not charge.

@Carl, sorry I missed the question. Nope, its full featured. The only difference is the Sound Library. @Fog Sorry you feel that way. We do post various things and not just our apps. We post videos, pictures and share tons of our partners stuff. Either way, 27,000 seem to be liking what we are posting. 64 Bit is on its way this year along with a few other surprises that AREN'T just iOS.

Since they've been on sale every few months forever, just the cost of the license transfer makes it prohibitive to even try and sell it. That's if you manage to find someone who doesn't one everything at this point.


But that's all part of the plan - when ST 3 finally comes out, you'll have plenty of reasons to buy the upgrade, just to run all those libraries. ;)


Though, in all fairness, IK is most likely to release a free "shell" version on ST w/ which you'll be able to use all your current libraries. Like, I don't know, SampleTank custom shop.
