Expect to hear more news about SampleTank 3 towards the end of 2013.

2013???

End he said. Just in time for two releases of Kontakt.


Pffft.


I give up hoping.

SampleTank 3 isn't whats next though. Expect to hear more news about SampleTank 3 towards the end of 2013.

Probably not the answer anyone here was hoping for (if they were still hoping) but it's nice finally to have something other than "coming soon" for an answer.

Either way you get flack, maybe next time I'll keep my info to myself and give the standard coming soon response. I need to learn my lesson on these boards and stop giving out so much details on whats coming up next. Oh well, ya live and ya learn. Til then I'm happy with the new stuff in the Custom Shop and the new stuff coming.

I think you shouldn't take it too personally, Obi. 


IK take whichever decisions they have to take for whichever reason they have. I have no doubt that you'd probably much rather be announcing that ST3 is finally coming out next month or such.


And in the same way, for whichever reasons we have (and there are many valid ones), many kinda lost faith, especially in the case of ST. 

Even if it isn't what I'd like to hear, I'd much rather hear the Truth. A sincere Thanks for being honest about it.

I notice you and IK dont get half the flack as GS and KVR gives you guys, this is an easy room to work ...

We're happy to get the "hints" Obi....it's just kinda sad that IK have neglected their ALREADY loyal customers
in favor of iCrap.....that is a truly sad statement to existing customers.  We've actually been waiting for over 
3 years for an update to these 32 bit programs, but Ik seems to be far more focused on "Dollar Apps" for the
the iPhone and iPad.

We've been told "It's coming" for over a year....and here we still sit waiting, while Ik continues to flood the 
market with iCrap.

Now Windows 8 is here...and the programs have become INOP (at least for me, due to the Windows 8 Quad-Capture Driver)
in stand alone mode....and very "iffy" in X2.

We just think that the focus should be on those of us who have supported the company for YEARS...NOT on these new "kids"
purchasing iCrap.  But I guess that IK would rather make new dollars on the one time customer then keep supporting their existing customers.


Not a wise business strategy IMHO, as there are MANY MANY MANY alternatives to the IK programs, and we're going
to get tired of IK really fast.

I'd rethink this strategy if I were IK...but that's just me...

ARC2 and Amplitube3 are my only go to IK products these days.

As klunky an interface as Kontakt is, I've now grown so used to it that ST2.5 feels like a Fisher Price toy to me.

The main reason I bought Total Studio 3 was for Amplitube...the others were just "bonuses" and it was 
only a few dollars more then JUST the Amplitube upgrade.

But I WOULD like to be able to use the others when I want to....but, alas, can't.

@Rain Yeah sometimes its hard not to. @rtucker55 I do prefer to tell you guys the truth, we are working on it. A lot. @Musicman100 Meh, GS banned me so that's whatev. This and KVR are my toughest. Sometimes the Reaper boards. Really though its always a handful that make it miserable. The thing that sucks is they usually frequent all the same boards, so its usually the same people. I've even had people sign up as me on other forums and start spamming random stuff. @cclary We haven't neglected anybody. Its just using an iOS device seems to be better received, more popular and we want to push the limits of technology just like we do. Its not just kids either, though they get it right off the bat. The power, flexibility and ease of use. Plus that whole touch screen aspect REALLY changes things. Wise? Meh, we've been doing quite well lately and because of our iOS line we have been able to grow, hire more developers and get more stuff in the Custom shop, a whole new thing that'll blow your minds soon, ARC 2, the update for CSR (hows that for a hint...) and a few other surprises that'll make total sense for us. So, like I said, we ARE working on SampleTank 3. We just won't rush it. We know its been a long time, we know what we have and what people want and we are working towards bringing it.
