I just bought the Piano Collection. I wonder why there are some duplicate stw waveforms with different names.
- A Yam Grand 52 / Warm Grand
- Antique Steinway Grand / Lo Fi Piano
- Gritty Rhodez / Sweet Rhodez
- Distorted Wurlitz / SuperWurly / Trem Wurly
Is this necessary or is it possible to make different sounds just with the different "stip files"?
I also saw some of these duplicates in eSoundz "Downloadable Instrument Soundz" section, I think so.

In the downloadable instrument section it says where it came FROM. That way if you already have the library you don't need to download it. As far as why they use the same set of samples within the Expansion Tank library this is because it is a sequel to the original Piano Collection that was done for SampleTank 1 (that didn't have STIP ability) and we retained all of the sounds as they were (plus more) in this version. This way if anyone had sequences with the old one the sound's ID would have it still show up in the song.
Also, depending on the programming that's needed for the sound it may need to have a separate set of samples in a STW with some duplications. This is because the program files can't just point to any waves you want like other samplers can. It's kind of like a "monolithic" format which has advantages and disadvantages. We just work around the format we're working in and do whatever we have to do to make the sounds come out how we want them to.
