FINDING THE SOUNDS!
The problem is either the instruments were not installed, or
SampleTank is not set to find them.
First:
The instruments in the folder 'XL Edition Instrument List'
are simply an example of the range of the XL version of
SampleTank. They are included in the demo but without
soundwaves; if they were complete, the folder would be 2.5
gigabytes in size. Simply delete that folder if it gets in the
way.
All the instruments for SampleTank Free have to be
downloaded separately. Here you can find the current list: www.sampletank.com We have two pianos, piano+strings, acoustic drums, bongos,
and a package with sixteen limited (about one octave only)
demo instruments. We usually make a new free instrument
available every month.
Second:
Once the instruments are in your system, press the 'Root'
button in SampleTank and select the folder with the
instruments. Usually on your Hard Drive or in your Recording

Program's Plug-In Folder>IK Multimedia>Sampletank
Instruments.
IMPORTANT:
When you get to the Sampletank Instruments Folder, click
on it once,
then click CHOOSE.
Their names will be displayed immediately in the interface,
ready to be played.
