ST4 MAX Acoustic Piano content for download - question

Postby Anatolyj » Sun Jun 08, 2025 8:45 am

Hi folks

Bought recently ST4 MAX v2.
In IK site account, in "Sounds Download" (for Win) for ST4, there is two different instances\type of Acoustic Piano content lists:

a) ST4_Acoustic_Pianos_Samples_Part1.zip (1 to 16)
and
b) ST4_AcPiano_Samples_Part_1.zip (1 to 16)

So, as seen, they have the same quantity of parts. But i compare both (by first part), they include differ content. (i assume they not exactly different, but just was archived \ compiled differently among parts)

I'm confused a bit, do i need to download both versions ? (I'm at Windows if something). Or no.
And if not necesary both, what version i need ?

You should be using IK Product Manager to install IK applications and sounds now. The User Area/web site is a fallback and also for any legacy installations. The best and fastest/smoothest way is to use IK Product Manager https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/productmanager

It will install the proper files for you. You install the application/plugin and then under the Sounds tab you'll see your sound libraries to install in the IK Product Manager.

There is a Downloads folder that you can change in the IK Product Manager settings where the install files and zips get stored. If you store them there without deleting or move to a backup location, you can get your backups saved efficiently too.
