Hi all,
I just purchased the Sample Moog and I am having a problem with the search function. When I click on the Search button, the search box appears and I can put in a word like "Bass" or any other that I know appears in some of the patches. However, when I click OK, the search box disappears and nothing else happens. Not even an hourglass cursor. I tried closing down and relisting, but that is not making any difference. FWIW, I have it installed on my Windows XP machine and my MacBook running Leopard. Both are exhibiting the same behavior.
Are any of you fellow Sample Moog users experiencing the same behavior or have I done something wrong?
I also use Sampletank (v2.5 engine with 2.1 sounds) and am able to browse the Sample Moog patches, but the Sample Moog patches are not appearing in the Sampletank searches either, although the Sampletank and Sonic Synth patches do appear (FWIW, the Miroslav patches do not appear in my Sampletank searches either, but at least the Miroslav player's search function is working). As with the Sample Moog player, relisting doesn't help this situation.
Ordinarily, I would just navigate the patches and not rely on searches, but the Sample Moog is the first IK instrument I've used that is not organized by type of sound, but by the synths they were sampled from. Without a search function, I find it difficult to navigate the sounds effectively.
I currently have a support request in for this at IK. However, I'm really hoping that I just missed something that is preventing the searches from working. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any insights that you can offer.

OK, don't everyone speak up at once 
How about this - are there any SampleMoog users out there for whom the search function is working?

Running Leopard eh? Brave! I'm not running it yet. But I use SampleMoog on my PC. Works fine! I'll try to find out any info I can though about issues with this. Although IK support should be able to handle that question for you.

Hi Squids,
Thanks for replying.
So the Sample Moog search function is working on your computer?
Yep, I'm trying out Leopard, but I have the Sample Moog installed on my PC running XP SP2 also, and the search function isn't working there either.
Anyway, IK was at our local Guitar Center this evening along with Mr PFunk, Bernie Worrell, on SampleMoog and a few other musicians. There was a great turnout, a really nice jam session, and an excellent demonstration of all of the IK products.
Anyway, I got a chance to speak to the IK rep after the event and the search function didn't work with the Sample Moog on his machine either, so there may be a bug there. Anyway, I got the confirmation I was after, and IK support is looking into it.
Is there metadata inside SampleTank patches that make them searchable? I'm finding that the SampleTank engine itself is only including the patches from SampleTank XL and Sonic Synth in its search results list. Patches from Miroslav, my Piano and Guitar Expansion packs, and the Sample Moog are not included in the search results.

Yeah, I gave up on this one. Unfortunately for me, my support request for this basically ended up in a black hole. A shame really.
Anyway, I moved on from this one. I've been using Cakewalk's Rapture along with some Mini-Moog oscillator waveforms that have recently been made available for it, so that has been working out for me thus far for the various Moog bass sounds I was after.
