    I worked with it one week at a friend's. He also has Colossus, so I was able to compare them. I'll tell you more about that later!

    I didn't install nor authorize it, so I can't say anything about it.

    SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

    It works very good and the design is all right.
    It runs fine, doesn't crash.

    OVERALL OPINION

    The sounds: You have everything. And a lot of variety, there are thousands and pretty varied sounds. Most sections (strings, pianos, etc.) offer different sound "characters", with different recordings, conditions, etc. I had the impression that several libraries were mixed together, which I love, because you have lots of choices!

    In terms of quality, it goes from awesome to ridiculous and awful. But you eventually end up finding what you need thanks to the number of sounds available.

    It's very musical: You go fast, it sounds fine, it's full of life and uses very little resources! On the other hand, it is outclassed in terms of sound by more modern libraries.

    Compared to Colossus, the latter has a larger library, considering the number of layers and the quality of the samples. However, Sampletank 2 is more practical and musical! When looking for a sound we started with Colossus (which is 3 years more recent + with better sampling quality) and 9 out 10 times we ended up using ST2!

    It's a Swiss-army knife that can save you in many situations!

    I wouldnt say anything for features is missing, they got all that on lock

    Price paid:$350 USD

    at first i didnt even need to read the manual, i just started going through sounds and started to tweak em, id say its very easy to use

    SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

    As far as sounds go, most of em are pretty good, depending on how well you can tweak em out you can really get an interesting sound out of it. i would say strings are the best sounds in sampletank, they have some good ethnics too

    it has crashed on me a couple times when i tried to open some fx

    OVERALL OPINION

    This thing is crazy, you can do so much with it, its one of those "bread and butter" vsts
