Some old stuff but for the price and knowing SampleTank 3 is coming soon it'll be a pleasure to upgrade.
Got all these in a bundle for 99$ and directly downloadable (added the value) :

SampleTank 2 = 149.99 $
SampleMoog = 99.99 $
Miroslav Philharmonik = 149.99 $
Sonik Synth 2 = 99.99 $
SampleTron = 99.99 $
Xpansion Tank 2 = 29.99 $

That's 630 $USD when bought one by one on their website.
I'm no longer just stuck in Reason for my synths and orchestra.

Hey,

Even I am looking to grab this bundle. However, I already have Sampletank2 and 12/14 xpansion tanks. Can you advice if its worth for me? The sounds of other libraries which are included are professional quality?

You mentioned xpansion tank just 29$, but I read 15 xpansion tanks are included which makes 15x29$ right?

Did you get 15 xpansion tanks?

Well, then also thought to share that in Audiodeluxe.com and jrrshop.com, you get extra discounts now making it just 84.15$.

Hey man, yes you also get those 15 sound librairies.

Here's the total bundle (43 Gb) :

Miroslav Philharmonik
Sonik Synth 2
SampleTank 2.5 XL
SampleTron 1.0
SampleMoog 1.0
Xpansion Tank 2 Acoustic Drums 2
Xpansion Tank 2 Acoustic Guitar 2 Collection
Xpansion Tank 2 Bass Collection
Xpansion Tank 2 Cinematik Collection
Xpansion Tank 2 Electric Guitars 2 Collection
Xpansion Tank 2 Electronic Drums
Xpansion Tank 2 Hip-Hop Instruments
Xpansion Tank 2 OmniSynth 2
Xpansion Tank 2 Piano Collection
Xpansion Tank 2 SampleArp Solo
Xpansion Tank 2 SampleOB Expander
Xpansion Tank 2 Symphony Strings 2
Xpansion Tank 2 Vintage Keys Collection
Xpansion Tank 2 Vocal Collection
Xpansion Tank 2 World Instruments Collection

Regarding the sound, I am very impressed. I'm coming from Reason 7 so the synths aren't mindblowing compared to that, but the ease of use is and the amount of sounds and organisation of the libs is perfect for me and sounds just great.

Can wait to know how much upgrading to this will be :

awesome, thanks for sharing this.

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

Very cool. If I didn't have komplete I would have considered this for sure.

Posting, so I remember this. Thanks for sharing

Almost went for it, then realised it's only 32-bit so most likely will not work for me. Shame...

It's really a shame plugins are 32 bit there still. I asked years ago for 64 bit and they promised it, but it never came. Sampletank 3 will have 64 bit. But I guess they will charge extra for it.
I only have the SampleTron from them. Don't really like that copy protection system they have.

 

[Plendakor]

What copy protection ?
I don't have any dongle.

Yeah the 32 bit is sad indeed. I'll get SampleTank 3 tho and all the librairies are gonna work. I wish I had taken the 200$ bundle for Amplitube tho

 

[Skaldir]

I don't have any dongle.

This challenge response thing. You can activate it only a few times

 

[Flow Of Time]

Damnit, didn't notice 32bit only :/

 

[right_to_rage]

Damnit ! no 64 bit for Logic X!

Got a refund to get the Total Studio Bundle thing instead, so that gave me Amplitube 3 and the T-Racks suite, a few days after the OP.

I upgraded to SampleTank 3 yesterday for 140$. SO much better.

Last black friday sale I got the Total Studio Bundle for $99. I like the T racks stuff and the reverb. I upgraded to the one that included the LA-2A and 76 after that as well. It's annoying that all the synths are 32 bit though. Maybe I'll upgrade to SampleTank3 if it goes on sale for this coming black friday.

 

[~BURNY~]

Honestly, I think most Sampletank libraries -aside from a few synths- suck ass. Great product 15 years ago... Completely out of touch by today's standards. The Sonic Reality stuff is freaking horrible sounding. Other products are pretty cool though.

I tend to agree, but I don't regret the purchase at the price I paid for the whole thing. I'm gonna go with Kontact eventually, but in the meantime I have something that will sound ok just in Reaper (always had to rewire Reason).
