Your reply makes my case.
IK needs to provide some sort of indication as to whether or not a user has downloaded the files in the list, along with an upload date. Considering the sheer amount of time necessary to completely load all of the ST4 files (an exhausting process BTW), your current system is inefficient to the task. Because many users did not download the entire library in one go, or lost their place in the process, this should be motivation enough to direct your web designer(s) to implement this functionality ASAP.
I know you mean well, but when you say “looking into the topic”, this statement reads to me like the issue is a low priority effort. It doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence.
IK needs to develop a modern automated file management system.
But again, thank you for the response.

The problem with ikm is that they got great products but too many issues, support is responsive but in the end it doesnt help if you got not stable version and sit there months..... then a responsive support doesnt help but results. Thats different with u-he etc. So far. They are stable versions and not months later still (bigger) issues.
Result. Quality ober quantity.

@Caine123 If you could send me a PM with your Ticket #, I would be more than happy to see what happened with your specific case. While this was a very unfortunately issue to occur in an update, this behavior was reported immediately, and will be fixed soon. This should not be considered a norm for IK or SampleTank by any means. Again, I'd be happy to help with any issues you've experienced that you feel took too long to resolve. Please send Peter or myself your ticket info when you can to better help us understand and move forward with your issues.

I wish I could give you guys an exact date, but you will need to just stay tuned. This should be coming very shortly, the bugs are fixes, they are just putting some final touches to make sure there are no snags elsewhere.

Looks like IK released 4.0.7. Appears to have solved the "clicking notes" problem. Happy about that. I would have never have known this was released had I not gone looking for it in the User Area. Nice to see them so on top of the update announcements.

Thanks for the unofficial notification!
I have never had any notice from IK for any updates, for the entire current Windows catalog of software by them.
4.0.5 didn't work right for me, I heard about 4.0.6 not working, so never even tried it.
Hopefully this will work - without any more issues again.

Apparently the usual IK apologists are a little distracted pushing MODO drums to be bothered with posting a release notification over there in the KVR News section.
Eleektronisch: I hadn’t noticed at first, but it does appear you are correct in noting that the presets, as well as the plug-in itself, are indeed loading faster than previous versions.
And as usual, there is no indication whatsoever as to whether or not any of the library files were updated and need to be downloaded as well.

Please understand IK Multimedia's unique situation. If they notified customers of the updated releases it might cause people to download said updates and create a load their precious servers. Or it may just be perceived as an acknowledgement of their original shoddy release which doesn't jive with the self-generated hyperbolic claims about their products.

Sound on Sound just reviewed SampleTank 4. Check out the final verdict below and the full article here: http://bit.ly/2Hyh3Wu
SampleTank 4's high-quality sounds and features aimed at the live context make for a great combination. If you need a broad palette of high-quality sounds within a single, easy-to-use package, it is undoubtedly a serious contender. It brings some significant improvements in features and sounds. As an easy-to-use, all-in-one sonic workhorse it remains a great choice for both studio and live use.

I take it you're not a dev/manufacturer of musical products. Aside from the fact that "reviews are paid for" is generally a myth, if you were in the industry and tried to influence Sound On Sound over a review, you'd probably either learn to never do that again or would not be in the industry for long. They're definitely not for sale. Quite known to be among the strictest of reviewers out there, and we've been smart enough not to try to influence them over the 20+ years we've been doing this.
With SoS you get what you get (and as a side note when you get Paul White reviewing something positively you get REALLY happy).
