Only get Piano with ST 3 free?

[burnicely]

I downloaded SampleTank 3 free and the only instrument I can find is the Grand Piano 1SE. How do I get other instruments? What I really need for a song are bagpipes.

Hello burnicely and welcome to the forum.

You need to download / install the Sounds Library files too.

If ST3 is registered, look at your User Area / My Products section - for ST3 CS you should see 'Sounds Download' and 'Related Downloads' - click on them.

Or click 'Download Sounds' on the ST3 CS pop-up dialogue.

I'm having this same issue, I have a load of sounds from SampleTank 2 XT but it hasn't loaded them. Do you know why?

^^^
The OP was having problems with the ST3 sounds, but has not let us know whether the problem has been resolved. Please follow the guidance I gave above.

ST3 does not automatically recognise ST2 sounds. You will need to Import them from the ST2 library into the ST3 Library. Details are in the ST3 User Manual.

I've tried downloading the Sounds Download and when I click on it nothing happens? Also where in the user manual does it say how to import the SampleTank 2 sounds?

[DarkStar]

It's a .zip file, isn't it? If so you should be able to open it, extract the file and run the sounds installer.

Importing ST2 libraries: see User Manual 3.3.1 "Import legacy instruments"

Yep I unzipped the files and clicked on Sound installer, nothing happens. Also I have followed the instructions for importing the SampleTank 2 sounds and where it says Import Sounds there's nothing there.

OK, I do not know why neither step is working.

As this is primarily a user to user forum, someone-else may chime in [#]. Meanwhile, the best thing to do is raise a Support Ticket, here for some one to one investigation and help (US (East Coast) Business hours, generally). Response time is usually within 2 working days.
