Nope, mine sounds excellent.

does anyone bother/try the free SAMPLE TANK download from the AMPLITUDE folks?



I am extremely happy with Sampletank. It's rock-solid and easy to use. And I've expanded it, thanks to several really good sales this year -- Miroslav Philhamonik for $15 at audioMIDI and such -- and it's right up there with the Alchemy Player as one of my go-to instruments.


Best,
