Security reasons most likely. Without admin rights the plugs can't access system files for example.


Btw. Are the ST2 problems only with Studio One(x64) and JBridge? I use mine non-bridged in Cubase(32bit). Giving accurate information might help other users.. or even IK.

Correct. I am technically the admin of the PC, but I don't run ordinary applications with admin privileges. That's the reason Windows had security issues for so many years, and it is completely unnecessary for a VSTi (Sampletank is the ONLY plugin I have ever seen request it). And to be honest, I like Sampletank a fair amount, but if it's going to hassle me to risk my PC's security, I will just use Kontakt instead. Nonetheless, I would still like to see them fix it.

I have tested on Studio One versions 1 and 2 (64), Live 8 (32 and 64), and Cubase 6 (64). Same thing all around. Honestly, IK knows what it is. They have fixed it for other plugins. My belief is they just don't want to deal with ST2 any more, and just want to push the "it will be fixed in ST3!" agenda.

I also have to launch the host as admin in Win7 64 bit to use ST2. I may be an admin user but ST doesn't like that, so it requires you to run your host as Administrator, which isn't usually necessary. It potentially could cause a security issue.

Seriously, please fix ST 2.5. 64 bit and the admin fix, it is just the right thing to do. ESPECIALLY as ST3 is still a total apparition until we start seeing some screen shots and hearing *something* at least about the update.

Seriously, who actually cares?

Obviously you care about who cares or you would not have posted asking "Who cares?" So, ummm, you.

u mean about the admin thing or sampletank itself?

There we go.. corrected.

"I c c c care!"

I don't have the admin problem with Reaper 64bit but I do when I use Renoise and I can't use it at all in Studio One because jbridge is just too crash happy with everything on my system. So yeah, fixing up 2.5 would be nice.

may want to talk to the jbridge guy about that. Funny, i have not had a single crash with the beta MAC version of jbridge when i tested it with ableton 64 bit beta and a ton of vsts.

TBH since going 64bit I've got very few 32bit plugins left and I mostly use Reaper or Renoise (native bridges excellent with both of those) as I find Studio One a bit unreliable CPU-wise. I got Studio One for ARA, audio groove quantize etc and basically use it as an audio editor at the moment so I'm not too worried about what few 32bit plugs I've got left that don't work with it.

Max headroom is creepy... I expect him, in the middle of his advertisement, to switch into some blurb about coming over to kill me and telling me something specific I did yesterday.

Maybe Max is the ST3 project manager.

I would get it IF it ever came out. How long has Sampletank 2 been on the market? For a decade? Seems like it.

Still, I have this weird love of it. Its cheesy, but I love cheesy ROMPlers.

haha, that would explain a few things!
