1. If you want to try the DSK and selection seems daunting just get the SFZ format (but he will give you links TO more, or even all, formats if you ask him in email). SFZ format works in both SFZ+, Sforzando, VST Synthfont and other tools of course all would use SF2s as well but SFZ+ and Sforzando would [convert] SF2 to SFZ anyway (without more geek speak, SFZ format is "more native" to those applications)

2. When it comes to Sampletank are you talking about the older FREE ST 2.5? I use ST 3 now but still have ST 2.5 installed and working in ALL my DAW's (RB, SPLAT, FL20, Studio One, Reaper, Cubase, Mixcraft,...) so we'll need to work on that for you at some point (one thing at a time) even if only the free version.

3. If you want EASY access to both 32-bit and 64-bit TTS-1 (64 for other apps) there is a thread here that explains what looks complicated but really is not, it's just tedious preform just the one time, and then you get easy access to both DXi's - just not at SAME TIME.

bottom line you have to install sonar twice to get it to install both the 32 bit TTS-1 DXi and the 64 bit TTS-1 DXi - but each install of Sonar OVERWRITES the previous TTS-1 DXi that's why all the gymnastics. Yes, you'll have to install Sonar twice more assuming you want to run Sonar as 64-bit but want access to both 32 bit and 64 bit TTS-1.

NOTE, this will NOT work with the new free Cakewalk by Bandlab because it is 64-bit ONLY


Good Luck
