Not waster your money, on the demo version.

Not waster your money, on the demo version, because when you buy the full version you will have to buy yours libraries again.

This company does not listen to you, and the button to restore purchases does not work.

they force you to have the two versions in yours ipad,
each version 1.6 gb, 3.2 GB. Total.
SampleTankCS is good, but this business system is a steal.

Needs AU support / ability to toggle different midi inputs

Works well as a standalone app, but unfortunately that’s not what I need it for. Even when using interapp audio, there is no way to stop SampleTank from responding to any midi inputs at all times. So there is no way to play it with just one midi controller, or on one channel of a controller. So unfortunately it’s useless to me.

Sample Tank not responding to midi signals from triple play fishman on iPhone

Hi All
My setup above worked well for years yesterday Apple sent and update and my setup does not work anymore on SAMPLE TANK ONLY but works on all other Ikmultimedia products on my phone ! I paid full price for all the built in samples
I can’t find their product support line if any
Are others have the same issues with SampleTank for iPhone ?
Any help will be appreciated! The product is great but the support is HORRIBLE
Thanks

Accidentally purchased and feel robbed.

I did not want this. I was so confused in SampleTankCS I somehow found a purchased unlocked version and was trying to close SampleTankCS and my fingerprint registered and purchased SampleTankCS . I still uninstalled it. Can I please have my money back?

No longer detects midi devices on latest IOS iPad

iGrandPiano, Syntroniks, and my other midi apps work fine with all my midi devices on the latest iOS version for iPad. However, SampleTank no longer detects my devices even after reviewing the settings, reinstalling, updating app, and reviewing cables/connections. It seems to still work on my iPod which has an older iOS, but quit working on my iPad. I am disappointed because I spent quite a lot on their add-ons and bundles.

so frustrating

SampleTankCS works great for a while and I came to depend on it. Then one day it just stopped working completely and now all I can do is get one or two sounds using my midi keyboard. The touchscreen interface doesn't work at all. Total waste of time and money.

Why charge

Paid to upgrade to SampleTank from SampleTank free just to realise that SampleTank pro was only $5 more with over 400 sounds what’s up with this money pit scheme.
I thought I was reaching out for a resolution. Lame insincere response why not you the review team escalate this to higher levels of expectations I honestly want my money back

No. You can do better.

I don’t get it IK. Mix box is AWESOME. Syntronik, B3x ground breaking. SampleTank desktop used to be your premier product. Now you can’t even be bothered to make it AU? Borrow your design team and development team from these successful products.

IAA is a no go for iOS production and live performance. I don’t care how good the Miroslav stuff is. This is 2023.

I got burned once by a version of SampleTank that stopped working on the switch from windows 7 to 10. That’s why I tried CS on mobile. I’m not dropping $30 for IAA. I can keep using PureSynth or SAmplr.

Update your app, guys. You can do better.

Useless Due to In App Purchase Bug

I really wanted to like SampleTankCS. It worked fine at first and then I purchased an instrument pack and it crashes on opening all the time now. I can’t even use it anymore. Asked Apple for a refund. This company seems to disappoint every time I’m dumb enough to give them money. They just stole $30 from me. Avoid SampleTankCS like the plague.

This company is pretty terrible..synth is crippled

Very limited synth.
The hardware products are good and innovative ..but many come with cheap proprietary chords ..that are not easy to replace...why do this to your people?..maybe to make more money I guess?..but not cool..
The customer service is probably the worst I can think of..
no phone ..they will respond with , what seems like a Robot that is no help, very hard and frustrating to get any help...the software is just a trap to hook you into the pricey ecosystem..it’s actually decent yes..but not worth it to deal with this company on any level..shame because it could be different and Ik could be awesome but , I don’t have much faith..rn

*Use caution or just don’t use there products ,many other options

*I will update if It gets better I have the Irig keys i/o , awesome
but the support and proprietary cords it uses are a real joke for a professional...plus no good videos or text on how to assign functions .

WAS great......

I have been using SampleTankCS for years, but all of a sudden now, I can never get sound from SampleTankCS , it crashes and does not work well with audiobus. I am extremely disappointed.

Major Crash issue, someone help??

Hi, ive been using sampletank for months now. Ive invested alot of money into it you guys have awesome libraries that help me creatively take the next step and i couldn't be more thankful!

Recently i updated my Iphone 7. And after the newest update, Sampletank automatically crashes whenever i try and adjust the “attack and release & inst volume & pan etc” knobs. Ive tried uninstalling it, changing instrument packs. Restarting my phone etc... and no solution.

Ive sent 3 emails to your support team and its been a little over a week since i sent them and still have no reply.

Please, i expect to buy new things on sampletank very very soon. But i just cant until i know that this solution can be fixed!

Garageband

I got SampleTankCS so that I could use the sounds in Garageband but I can’t 😭

Awesomeeee !!!THANK YOU!

Stoked to see the update for iOS 12 bugs today! It’s fixed all the crashing issues I’ve been experiencing every time a knob was adjusted !!!!
Just when I thought you guys forgot about Us ! Thanks again !

Will we ever get a AUV3 version?

I love SampleTankCS and have been a big fan of all the plugins throughput the years. I wish we could finally get a AUV3 version so we can integrate it with our workflow! SampleTankCS has some of the most premium sounds and it gets set on the digital shelf. Please update SampleTankCS and release the animals in Sampletank! Thank you!

Need Help from Team

SampleTankCS itself works decently with good sound quality, but I recently made a purchase for Miroslav Philharmonik. It started downloading, but then it stopped. I tried to restart SampleTankCS . When I went in, it said download, but when I pressed it, it said that I had to pay for it again. Please fix this.

Issues

I hope there is option to save exported midi and audio to files app
Also the interface is not fullscreen ipad pro screen

More instruments

If only you can add instruments like a nice strings ensemble and a good pad it will be more fun to use

Good app By Ben

I just wish the other sounds didn’t cost money

Great app

Hi can you look into this issue with ios 12
I can’t edit none of the sounds you can’t adjust the volume or no other functions as soon as you touch the volume SampleTankCS will crash thanks
