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!
