sampletank ?'s

[chovie d]

Hi, I hope this is the right place to ask about sampletank, Im a bit new to the forums and am a bit confused by all the forum names
I have the sampletank that came with a boxed version of Tracktion 2. I know it is an abbreviated version of the real deal, but hopefull y someone can answer a few questions for me..here goes:

1. Does anyone have a list of the sounds that will be included in the sampletank in the Ultimate Bundle version of Tracktion 3?
2. I like the cathedral organ in my version of sampletank that came with T2, but it plays at a very low volume compared to all other sampletank sounds. I can increase velocity and all that but Im wondering why it is so low volume level initially and if there is anyway to just make it play at a normal volume from the get go without adjusting velocity?
3. I like the string ensemble sound but the frequency of the "bowing" appears to be related to pitch..i.e. when I play a low note it "bows" slower" when I play a high note it bows fast. any way to make it bow at a consistent rate regardless of pitch?

Thanks for your help. Obviously I odnt know much about synths in general so pardon me for the newbish questions please. Cheers.

I must be asking in the wrong forum, asking some really dumb questions, or you all are just enjoying your memorial day weekend alright I'll figure it out I guess. Cheers.

Sorry, I missed this one.

1) I don't think the list is public.
2) There are a number of ways of increasing the volume. One is to use the ENV1->Level knob, another is to add an effect (such as the compressor) to raise the volume. You can then save a child preset so you don't have to set it next time. If all else fails you can use the volume knob (though the volume knob isn't saved with the preset).
3) Check out STRETCH. You'll love it.

thanks for the response Kim!
I will look into stretch when i get home from work but i am not sure my version of sampletank allows it...its a kind of limited version that came with the boxed version of Tracktion 2. It still seems very odd that the cathedarl organ is at such a low initial volume level compared to all the other sounds. cheers

oh man..stretch is indeed available in my version. not sure exactly what it does yet but you were right, I DO love it and it did fix the string ensemble problem. guess i need to read the manual (or read me file or whatver comes with this thing) and explore the features a bit more.
Thanks again for the help!
