""good" sounds, great size library, interface "squishy" and some features non-intuitive, great efx, authorization via hard drive,"

Quality:
again, ok sounds, nice reverb, a bit buggy, i always hope that loading doesn't crash.

Value:
it should be in the 200 dollar range.

Desirability:
I like the sampler overall, ok sounds, nice large library, but there may be better choices

Sound:
the 5G of sounds that come with it are at best OK, the ones I bought later (like ac gtr module) were excellent, so you need to buy the better sounds later to get great sounds.

Ease of Use:
the interface is a bit clumsy and not the most in, tuitive. some features easy, other hard. it's easy to load up sounds but some of them take a while to load and you never get a warning that you'll wait 2 mins to load the sound you just want to audition. the interface has horribly small fonts and there's no ability to enlarge the plugin window (which would help immensely). if they overghauled the interface and made it easier, that would make it excellent.

Support:
excellent support, gave me a bunch of licenses as I moved from cptr to cptr, no problemt getting more auths.

"Great all around program for pro or newbie producers!"

Feature:
The STRETCH feature is a sample producer's dream come true! The effects are nice too! I like the reverb and delay that Sampletank provides...

Quality:
Haven't had a bug yet!

Value:
This product was everything I asked for and more, but still 380 dollars is quite expensive!

Desirability:
The Red Setup looks damn sexy!:)

Sound:
Sampletank probably has the best sounds in any software sampler ever! The strings are amzing, and the acoustic piano is just what I've been looking for in a softsynth! If you use Sampletank along with Cubase SX and a nice MIDI controller, you'll find Triton's become obsolete! This setup kills a Triton any day!

Support:
Haven't had request support yet!

Overall:
Everything you could ask from a softsynth and more! The sounds are top notch, and it does everything it's supposed to!

The ultimate sample workstation
SampleTank is the ultimate sample-workstation. With an exclusive combination
of features and sounds, SampleTank stands apart from any other sample-based
virtual instrument, as one of the most powerful and easy-to-use solutions
for making fully produced songs out of the box.

The widest variety of sounds in all instruments categories just one click
away. You can immediately get tons of Acoustic Grand Pianos, Electric
Pianos, Strings, Brass, Winds, Vocals, Orchestral sounds, Organs,
Percussion, Drums, Basses, Guitars, Synths, Loops, Ethnic sample and more.
Plus now SampleTank has the ability to read all “Powered by SampleTank”
instruments’ sounds, including Miroslav Philharmonik, Sonik Synth and the
upcoming SampleMoog, Studiophonik and SampleTron. This way you can work much
faster and more creatively by having access to thousands of high-quality
sounds from a single interface. If this is not enough, you can also import
your own WAV, AIFF, AKAI, SDII and Samplecell files for a truly unlimited
world of sounds.

3 advanced sample engines allow unique sound manipulation with multi-samples
and loops. SampleTank is the only sample workstation that sports 3 different
type of sample-engines: traditional resampling, STRETCH™ and PS/TS. The
unique STRETCH™ engine will deliver amazing realism and expression over
multi-sampled instruments. Your performances will come to life with true
glide, bending, full control over staccato and vibrato, with an incredibly
rich, vibrant, and natural sound quality (no more “chip-munk” effect). When
working with loops, the PSTS engine (Pitch-shift/Time-stretch) will allow
you to synchronize loops with one click, or control its tempo and pitch
independently for the ultimate beat machine.

The most powerful multi-effects built in a virtual instrument. Every sound
in SampleTank is programmed with fully editable built-in effects so drums
load up with reverb and compression, guitars with amp-sim, electric organs
with rotary speaker and so on. With 5 insert effects per parts and the new 5
send and 5 master effects you can have up to 90 effects available in this
production powerhouse. These effects can be selected within the 33
high-quality effects of SampleTank that offer also algorithms from IK’s
award winning T-RackS, Classik Studio Reverb and AmpliTube! The top quality
IK modeling effects is immediately available to you, just by loading the
SampleTank sounds.

So easy to use that you do not need to read the manual. You’re up and going
within seconds. More than 50 sampler controls are accessible from an
easy-to-use and highly accessible single interface. That’s why you can spend
more time focusing on your music instead of studying complex manuals written
for engineers and not musicians. That’s also why you’ll find yourself
loading up SampleTank as your ‘go-to’ instrument every time you want to let
your creativity flow.

So efficient and fast loading that you can easily install it in your laptop
and use it as your mobile virtual workstation. SampleTank is so efficient
that it can be easily installed and can run from even a modestly priced
laptop. Sounds can load up so fast that its performance is comparable to the
one of hardware synths and samplers. That is why more and more musicians use
SampleTank for their live performances. Try to do this with other
complicated and heavy-load sample-based virtual instruments, and you can
immediately see the difference!

These are some of the reasons why thousands of top artists and musicians
(including Grammy winning names like Eminem, Genesis, Asia, Nickelback,
Aereosmith, Shakira, Black Eyed Peas, Outkast, Herbie Hancock, Nine Inch
Nails, Laura Pausini just to name a few) have chosen SampleTank in scores of
records and soundtracks worldwide.

The new SampleTank 2.5 is available in 2 versions: SampleTank XL and L,
which differ only by the number of sounds included. If you want the best,
the new SampleTank 2.5 XL comes with 2 DVDs and over 1,800 sounds (for over
6.5GB of samples) plus an extra bonus sound disk! Your second option is the
L version, an affordable introduction to SampleTank that includes 1 DVD and
over 900 sounds.
