Loading SampleTank into a Pro Tools session
First, make sure that you have installed the RTAS version of this plugin. As of December 2002, it was only available via download from IK Multimedia's website. See the Installing Sampletank RTAS database entry for details.

Create a new stereo audio track in the Pro Tools session and insert
SampleTank RTAS as the first plug-in on the Pro Tools Mixer
If you ’re running Pro Tools LE, SampleTank RTAS can be inserted on an AUX
channel; so you do not need to lose one of the 24 or 32 audio tracks that the LE
system allows.
SampleTank cannot be started as a “mono to stereo" plug-in so the audio
track that will host SampleTank must be stereo or it will not show up as a choice.
When first you open SampleTank you are prompted to select the
“SampleTank Instruments” folder. This is the folder where SampleTank finds
the instruments.
If you used the default path during installation, the SampleTank
Instruments folder is in the IK Multimedia folder. This folder can actually be placed
wherever you like, even on a different disk.
