In anticipation of the release of the program, one interesting question. I have installed ST3 with a part of additional libraries included in ST4 MAX, which I purchased as an update.

The question is: are there any differences between the already installed libraries in the ST3 format and those that are intended to work in ST4. Rather, do I need to delete them and download the content again, or it’s enough that they will be attached to ST4 as full-featured content.

The question is interesting because, by analogy with the use of the ST2 libraries in ST3, many patches of the "old" libraries sound different. What is the best way to deal with the existing content of the old version to work in ST4?

Great to see the enthusiasm! We'll likely get the files opened around the early portion of the day for the US office (EST)


Any idea of times for the UK / EU please?

We don't have a specific time, but it will be in the early portion of the day EST most likely.

EST is 5 hours behind GMT. So, for example, 10:00 EST = 15:00 GMT

I was always confused with time zones. There was one time in a band I was in that lasted for 31 days in a row. Beat but happy and limited chops at all time high. The gig was in Indiana and we traveled from NY.

I found when we got there many years ago, the time zone was the same as NY. Indiana this year again was asked to go with the times, absolutely refused. I applaude that.

I’m older and things don’t bother me anymore but perhaps we could talk to the world one day, by a land line. No cell phones allowed. They irritate me.

I started a cell phone company in 1984. I did pretty well until my partner changed locks on the doors. That was where the switch was as well. I took offense to it.

I would be happy to be the representative for NY. I would propose that all time zones be eliminated. GMT holds a special place in my heart, as a private, for fun, pilot. No more GMT.

Add that with time changes and there’s a big mess on the floor.

So, simply, there would be only EST time from now on forever and a day. It would be a little inconvenient for some but wow, you just can’t have it all.

It's ST 4 day. I’m excited. I can not wait to get my email. I got the cut down ST4 because this year I got the Mac wedge and skimped on the memory. Small stuff. I can see all the people involved choosing the final 2000 sounds.

I’m not a tweaker and always use factory sounds but I’m betting those 2000 will outlast me.

My MacBook wedge will have nothing on it except for a few favorite guitar sound apps, my old SampleTank 3, if I can figure out if I load it first or last or too complicated to load at all.

The minutes are ticking by and it’s 5:30 am EST here on the atomic world clock and I am so tired I will probably sleep through it.

ST4 is here. 1984 has come. It's the future.

Hello everybody,
has anyone in Europe, especially in Germany, already received an email today and is ST4 already in their account?
Or is there nothing left today?
I'm very excited and looking forward to it.

Many Greetings

Sorry if time zones were confusing (and I agree that Daylight Savings Time should be eliminated here in the US).

SampleTank 4 is still set to arrive today, note that the US office just opened this morning and there is a lot of sound library data to process and make sure is correct and working so I do appreciate your patience.

Can't wait!!!!

It's 1:19pm Eastern and I see the pre-order option is still available and I don't see a link yet in my user area.

It will be worth the wait... :D

Please forgive my comment here, but this is based on my background in IT administration and installation work. Would it not have been best to have uploaded data, run tests, etc eve of launch, to ensure, then run a task to go from "private location / locked" to "open status" the morning of launch, that way it doesn't hold customers up, etc? just my take on it. it's after 6:24 pm here UK time and been waiting all day, as I have to leave a rather dodgy workstation running to download, just so I could save on my budget rather than the extra shipping and delays with a physical media.

Hi, I understand it can be frustrating to wait but I'm sure your IT experience would likely also show that sometimes things don't go precisely as expected and this is a minor blip in the grand scheme of a complex and large release. Please don't oversimplify or imply that we don't test. Of course we do, and heavily. Again, though, any software release is going to carry some risk of minor issues and we'd rather have a slight delay (and still release on the announced date) than have any flaws (however minor) or atypical/unsatisfactory experiences with the release.

And it is indeed still February 21st and IK expects to have SampleTank 4 sounds available today for those that pre-ordered.

Thank you again for your patience.
