From the latest news item at http://www.ikmultimedia.com/news/?item_id=4464

The boxed version will be shipping in the second half of August 2014.

EDIT - The DVD installer is a single installer that installs everything automatically to the proper place, including plug-ins, standalone and the sound library. You can select a specific destination for the library (34GB) and then everything is done automatically including the correct disk path selection in the ST3 prefs.

Sorry, posts are happening faster than I can keep up.......

Yes that is strange. What multis are giving the Can't Find Samples message ? I only installed the ST 3 content so far for just this reason. Maybe Peter has an idea ? I used some Instruments I created in a few of the Multis but they use only ST3 content. Maybe I have to upload the Instruments as well ?

Thanks
No, thank you for the kind words.
I wonder why there are missing samples errors ? I only used the factory content. Can you tell me which 4 won't load please ?
I think your presets use some of the expansion tank packs so that's probably the issue. Someone earlier mentioned that they needed to get Cinematik to make one of the presets work.
No, I'm talking about the ones I released earlier today. Those only use the ST3 content. The Multis I released for ST 2.5 do use several expansion tanks, Sonik Synth Mirosalv etc..........

Are you talking about the ones I released today ?

Yes.

Hmmmm Peter, do you have any idea why the Multis I released today would give people Missing Samples error messages ? I only used ST 3 content.............

Don't know, if anybody will judge 4,000 instruments from just one demo [edit - and I'm not sure about the intent of the performance either] of a single sound in a set meant to have a large variety then I suppose that's their prerogative.

My intent was solely to demonstrate the solo voice of 'Ella.' There was no real way for me to prettify it. From the robotic voice to the fact that it is almost impossible to keep a relatively steady velocity, it is not my doing, it is the developers.

Then all should be good when you run the program, and you can move the libraries (or choose an alternate location during install), point to that in the program itself, etc, just like with current installations.

about the main app... i would install everything from the DVD(s) and then get the latest main app from the user area after authorizing?

Actually, I checked with the developers. You may have some issue, then, if it was not intentionally edited: "That is not a performance of the programmed version, it sounds like it has been changed to or does not have the correct envelope, vibrato, etc." If you'd like tips on how to use the programmed sounds as they are or how to better edit or perform with them, please visit our forum. Apologies if these were intentional programming changes on your part, in that case yes I think it sounds bad and not because of the sound as it exists in ST3 as what was posted was not the programmed sound from SampleTank 3 according to the ST3 team.

Sorry, edited for flow and had the quoting wrong. Thank you.

Yes, I would authorize and get the main app first though. That way you can even spot check along the way as you install sounds and such.

btw: its a pain in the ass , to report a error message when the plugin does not have embedded copy and paste

Peter, I didn't edit the voice in any way. It is as it is loaded. Someone else, a few pages back, confirmed that this was the sound.

I'm pretty sure he meant "un" intentional Bombadil.

Use these free JamPoints (45 JamPoints if you are purchasing it in Dollar, 36 JamPoints if you are purchasing it in EUR) on the IK Online Store to redeem 30% off the introductory price of SampleTank 3. Or something else if you took advantage of the preorder pricing.

This was a nice surprise, thank you!

The 3 Filtrex multis all show the same error message.

The Steel/Nylon multi gives my CPU fits (i7 Quad-core). I've confirmed it is the 'resonance' effect.

Then there is something else going on based on what the team said when they heard it. Neither one sound, nor that demo, is representative of the quality of SampleTank 3's library in any case.
