Hi Pods,

There is a group buy which I'm sure some of you have been following that is about to go into extra-extra bonus, bonus round.

Here's the kicker, this is the last day (April 30th) to join.

All info here:

I'm not playing for bonus points or anything like that. I just thought that for those of you that don't have extensive sample libraries already this could be very handy.

Thanks!

This was an excellent GB. So much for so little money.

Hope you've got the $5.

Thx man, very nice of you.

Yeah it was quite a fun ride. The crew at esoundz are battling their way through the process of making 4.5-5GB of sounds downloadable to 440+ people!

I think this has been a bit of a learning curve for them.

I'm assuming you've got the three volumes that have been made available? Great IMO.

Also as a tip, you can get the downloads much faster with this:

Or something like it.

Thx again.

Yes, great stuff. I've been playing with the three volumes and getting eager for the rest. I'm in o hurry and eventually they'll show up when ever they're ready.

They seem to be in a bit of a hurry releasing the generous bundles, though.
You actually have to rename some files in "Rare 1, Keys", ex. the "KG KE Organ" for it to work (that particular bank that is). So I think they've been pretty buzy. Easy to fix...

I'm using FlashGet. Works well.

I've would have missed it if you hadn't posted here. So thank you!

Thanks H-Man! I too would have missed this huge library if it hadn't been for your post. I'm new to this ePointz system and in all the excitement I forgot to refer to you. Sorry about that.

I haven't used SampleTank a lot before and I must say browsing all these new sounds using the mouse is putting a real strain on my hand. Anyone know of any keyboard shortcuts? Or is there a nifty way to use the pitch or modulation wheels (don't seem to have any fancy MIDI controllers on my keyboard)?

Thanks,
jan-erik

Hi Jan-erik,

Glad you found it. Don't sweat the esoundz points ...it wasn't about that

It seems that SampleTank is quite configureable with the ability to assign midi cc numbers to most functions inlcuding program changes. I agree though that the browsing of all the new presets is a bit of a chore.

Section 4.2 of the manual "Managing sound organisation" has a way to use midi cc numbers to allow you to browse the presets from your midi contoller.

Additionally I have found quite a few video demos and Tip and Trick stuff on the IK site that is probably worth a look IMO (Done by Squids too ).

Have not yet found a single reference to keyboard shortcuts so you maybe out of luck there....

Hope this helps.
