Review Snippets

  • Praises fantastic sound and emphasizes excellent value because it’s currently free.
  • Reviewer expects listeners will approve because the instrument’s sound is superb.
  • Sounds fine, but I already have my favourites (I LOVE the Max Richter piano - my go-to - but far from free!).
  • Fantastic sound. I have secured the library.
  • It's a strange setup, reminds me of the old Cubase system. You've got TWO programmes to get this going: "IK Product Manager" which installs things, and the 'Authorization Manager" which is the one y'all need now. Yes, I'm sure it could have been done in one programme... But it isn't. Fire up your Au
  • Sounds super real. I just got my Sample Tank 4 Max and it was really a bargain for all of the content they are offering. Contrary to other platforms Sample Tank sounds heavy and you don’t so much plug ins to listen to them deep and clean.
