i'm convinced these will never get sampled to anything remotely usable

what is it about them?

It's clearly a conspiracy by the World Order of Saxophonists (and Lizards)

I own EWQLSO Silver and I'm thinking about getting this to compliment it, mainly for the woodwind sections and tuba section, because Silver only comes with solo woodwinds and a solo tuba with one articulation, limiting how long they can hold long tones. Also, I like that it comes with Ooh and Ah choirs, as Silver only came with Ah choirs. Think this is a good idea? At only 15 dollars, I don't see how I could pass it up.

Only thing holding me back - waiting on paypal to confirm my bank account, lol.

+1

Also, Samplemodeling's saxes sound pretty good in the demos. I haven't gotten those yet, though.

Oh yes, we bribed the EU parliament and lobbied the American senate, there'll be a law soon, forbidding any passable sax samples he he

This is happening to me, too. I can't see SampleTank and Miroslav in Cubase 6 at all, except when I'm running it as admin, then I can see them as fx.

What an utter nonsense from either Steiny or IK.

btw., I'm kinda getting fed up with IK's authorization management and things not working properly for the LEGIT user (while my friends use cracks without problems).

[For info]

On Windows 7 and Vista, IK Multimedia standalone products and DAWs hosting the plugins require the program to be run "as Administrator" so that they can access the Preferences, Presets (combis) and other files (which are normally installed into a sub-folder in the ...\Program Files folder).

Windows 7 and Vista are designed to restrict access to that folder (and to others and certain Registry keys too).

Why don't they put presets in another folder then, rather than relying on running things as admin?

Btw, the issue of Miroslav being recognized as fx and thus unusable is really odd.

Cubase users - I had exactly that problem last year but IK support sorted it out for me

In order to get Sampletank to run with Cubase both applications need to be run as administrator, the sample libraries have to be installed exactly where the program suggests at installation - then it should show up as VST instrument rather than Fx

It did work just fine in the end so I hope this solves it for you too

I just had to re-install everything after an operating system re-install.

When I installed Sampletank it showed up in Reaper as an effect.
Odd, it wasn't that way before.
I did a re-install and now it's OK.

Reinstalled, same thing.

morphtec · Post by **morphtec** » Mon Mar 21, 2011 11:13 pm

hm ... I think I'll not even try to reinstall it ... I'm kinda fed up already. Not really worth it.
But I actually managed to route a MIDI track to PhilharmonikCE (loaded as an FX in an audio track) after all ... try that, it works ... it's just odd and inconvenient.

:]

it doesn't. You can install them almost anywhere you want.

Try running the Installer "as Administrator" too.
