Hi IK, I'm just wondering if there's anymore information coming soon regarding sampletank 3,seems it's been awhile since we've heard any comments from IK regarding it,is it dead in the water,or will it live?

cheers

Three months ago they said it was coming. Of course, they said that three years ago. I'd say it's vaporware.

(They're just waiting for everyone's Jam Points to expire )

This was the last real update they actually made with concrete proof they were doing anything: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150301378600147. 536841.337617160146

The last statement made that shooting for early 2013 is our best estimate still stands. I wish I had more information, but we are working on it and I'd definitely enjoy having more information and will head on over here as soon as I do.

I just wished they stopped delivering iStuff (which many meople don't need/want) and concentrated on ST3.

thanks ik peter

Sometimes I feel this way, but I keep telling myself that the iStuff is bringing money in while the company develops ST3. By the time it comes out, ST3 may have an iPad controller ready to deliver.

I hate to be "that guy" who brings this up in every thread, but how about fixing Sampletank 2 in the meantime?

It needs 64-bit support, and more importantly: fix the god-damned admin requirements on Win 7--that is the most insanely stupid thing I have ever seen in a VSTi.

I like you guys and most of your products, but if you are unwilling to fix ST2 in the 900 years it takes to get ST3 finished, I doubt I will buy the upgrade. Unfortunately, you guys have some ridiculous competition in the form of Kontakt.

Seriously, what's the deal? Why can't you issue a quick patch to fix the admin thing on Win 7/64? There is no reason a VSTi should require admin privileges to work.

They've probably made more money off of that "i" stuff than anything else. (well, other than the constant group buys )

I didn't even know they had those pics. Something to look forward to. Considering the STAGNATION of hammond dev, I'll enjoy if they put as much class into that as they did with the leslie cab emu's.....

what's the admin thing?

I agree, 64 bit version just straight up of sampletank 2 would be great and widely appreciated i am sure.

Sampletank = IK's own red-headed stepchild

Why do you say it needs admin privileges? Doesn't on my Win 7/64..

To those asking: for a lot of people, ST2 requires admin privileges to work on Vista/64 & Win7/64, so you have to always launch your host as an admin if you want to use it. Otherwise you will get an error message saying it won't work right every time you show the GUI.

It apparently does not affect everyone, but it affects a lot of people nonetheless (I have seen it come up quite a number of times), and IK has been sitting on it without a fix for a couple years now--their replies to people asking on their forum is always "run your host as admin." Not an acceptable fix for a problem that should not exist in the first place. They even updated other plugins (like Amplitube) to fix the issue, but ignore Sampletank.

I realize you probably think I'm insane and making up problems just to get attention or something. If you're a registered user, just do a search for "administrative" in the Sampletank forum at IK. It's all there. Or don't. If it doesn't affect you, I guess you can just be happy that you're one of the lucky ones.

no i get it but i'd always run everything as admin anyway.. why not run the host as admin? aren't you the admin?
