You don't need Sampletank SE (waste since it's a lite version, content wise of full ST3)
The Grid is free add-in for ST3 -but I'm not much for beat loops, "dubstep", hip-hop , etc. "arps" or loops
The two "custom shops" are just updates to THE custom shop list of NEW stuff you can buy (visit it ST2 or ST3 or AmpliTube 3 or 4 or T-Racks
Teh Custom Shop has current list of all available things you can buy (that's why ever once in a while when you go there from inside ST, AT or T-tracks- it will tell you to UPDATE it), and what you OWN, and what you don't own. You need to log into the Custom Shop (using IK log in).
As mentioned check the "Promotions" in your User area - there will be some other free stuff for ST3 you can get once you register iRig Keys

EDIT missed this first time
YES you need to get the Sound Library Update 3.5 - and run it AFTER installing ST 3 and all the downloaded sound libraries
while your at it - pay attention to teh date on your "Sounds Download" line that has those 2 to 4 GB "SampleTank_3_Sound_Content_Part_1.zip" through "SampleTank_3_Sound_Content_Part_8.zip" files you spent so much time downloading.
Those links EXPIRE in 6 months (180 days)! and after that you have to PAY a fee to re-establish.
So once they are downloaded, installed, and you are sure the zips were complete and good - BACK THEM UP somewhere!! this goes for ALL IK sound content. The basic program(s) (ST, Miroslav, SampleTron, etc. ) and any and all program files and updates are always available but NOT the SOUND content library's, this includes any additional sound libs you might purchase for ST 2 or 3.
EDIT to the EDIT
don't forget to check the "Related Downloads" link under ST3 (that's where the Steel Drums are. I got them too earlier today in an email and I didn't participate in the "Loaded Workstation" promotion)
this also applies to anyone with Miro 2 (they added a Concert Harp in the "sounds download" area a few weeks ago)

Bumping this up to inform people that there's only two days left for this deal.
I got my Irig Pro 37 delivered yesterday and just now went to IKM's website only to see a message "We are busy updating our website and will be back shortly".
Not like I'm busy or anything...

I just got a great deal on Komplete 10. Is there any reason at all to have Sample Tank also ? (as you can see - I'm on another equipment buying binge).

I just got a great deal on Komplete 10. Is there any reason at all to have Sample Tank also ? (as you can see - I'm on another equipment buying binge). FWIW-I have Kontakt and FM8. I evaluated the full version of ST3 and decided it was not worth it, even during that big give away. I did get the free version so I could load my old ST2.5 stuff into it but I was not impressed with the sounds that came with it. YMMV.

I also own Komplete but when I saw I could get the entire Sample Tank 3 for free by spending only $59 on a keyboard? No brainer! I love lots of the samples included in ST3, especially the MIDI pattern libraries they have included!

Yes, the IKM website is back up and I just registered my keyboard. ST3 and the sound libraries are in my user area.

I just got a great deal on Komplete 10. Komplete 10... what was the deal can others benefit I'm sorry Mike - I should have mentioned I picked it up used on Craigslist - hopeful that the license transfer goes through (a little trust on both sides for this sale). I believe someone in a previous post mentioned that NI only goes on sale 1 or 2x per year - I will try and find and post it. I've not seen the initial purchase version for less than $400.

MarioD, how did you get a full evaluation copy of the ENTIRE SampleTank 3 library? I didn't know IK had ever allowed or gave out full evaluation copies Or did you mean you bought it?
I don’t think ST3 is bad, I think it's actually pretty good! No it is not world class in any category, but neither are Kontakt 5 FACTORY offerings, and that's ALL I'm comparing - FACTORY libraries only.

I've not seen the initial purchase version for less than $400. This is the whole point of this ST3 sale. The question is not how do the sounds compare to this one or that one. The question is how do the sounds compare with something you can get for more or less $100? Even used and you really got lucky I'll bet this is the best sound library you'll ever find for that kind of money. Plus the interface, plus all the midi loops and grooves. Bob

Larry I did not get a full copy of ST3 to evaluate. I listened to some of their audios and read how others either liked or disliked on other forums. After I got the ST3SE I listened to what was offered and thought it wasn't worth it. I still think Kontakt is a better deal because of the extra sounds you can purchase from both NI and third party sources but YMMV. FWIW I think that if one has Kontakt one does not need ST3, but this is only my opinion. You may disagree but that is fine. Like I said YMMV as sound sources are a very independent and personal thing. What I think is great others may think is junk, and visa-versa. peace

Hugh, inside the box is a registration card. You log into your account at the IKM website (create one if you don't have one). As soon as you register your purchase the downloads for ST3 along with the sound libraries automagically appear in your User Area.
They have a customer forum just like this one here. Since time is short get on that forum if you're having any issues, don't wait for someone to reply here.

BTW, I had to wait for my hardware to arrive, register it, only then I could download the software and libraries. So, I did not get to play with the software while waiting for my iRigKeys37 to arrive. Some of the free software was found in my "Promotions" area.
Does the noise in your head bother me ?

I have got 32 bit windows 7 so think I am limited to using Sampletank 2.5 only as 3 is only 64 bit.
Just wondering though how would others rate Sampletank sounds in comparison to Dimensions Pro which I have got as well? There seems to be a whole bundle of really good stuff in Dimensions pro.
Sort of reached the stage that I feel I really don't need any more samples unless they are free, its what I should do with the existing samples both in biab and Dimensions pro and a limited Sampletank 2.5 that matters.

You're correct but maybe this is the incentive you need to upgrade to 64 bit?
Also, a bunch of legacy ST2 sound libraries are on sale for $5.

Disclaimer upfront as a caveat emptor: I have tinnitus in both ears so YIMV (I'm coining a new "artiest" warning, becasue we need one for subjective things like sound quality so YIMV = Your Interpretation May Vary)
I have ST 2.5 and 3, Dim Pro, Rapture Pro (which brings in Dim Pro now - and Kontakt 5 and UVI, and...)
Yes I think ST 2.5 is better. But Dim Pro has ability to do some nice analog synth work plus some of the add-ins are nice, even some stock sounds are perfectly fine but ST 2.5 is, IMHO, BETTER "on the whole."
Note however, if all you have is the very small sampling that comes with ST 2 free than NO Dim Pro is MUCH better becasue, Dim Pro comes with a FULL library and it does have some good sounds. ST 2.5 also came (no longer sold only ST3)with a full library if you bought it, as does Kontakt 5 if you buy it: you get what you pay for!
But beyond SOUND differences they are DIFFERENT "synths" structurally. e.g., ST 2 can do 16 FULL patches at once - Dim pro, becasue they are actually elements of sounds not necessarily individual patches, can only do four parts at most without another instantiatation of Dim Pro.

I find it's not a matter of if one is better than the other (I mean, come on, each one has thousands of sounds - is IK Multimedia's (Sampletank/Miroslav/SampleMoog/SampleTron/SonicSynth) thousands of sounds better than Native Instrument's (Kontakt libraries) thousands of sounds better than Garritan's Aria Player(GPO/IO/COMB/JABB/etc) thousands of sounds better than Cakewalk's (DimPro/RapturePro/SI/CSC)?
They each process sound different, provide different interfaces and different abilities to tweak. So for me, it's not so much which one is better, because each one is different. Each has strengths and weaknesses. But I find some go-to sounds in each of the libraries. Interestingly, though, I can honestly say I've never actually uses "thousands" of sounds in any of my music. But there are some really cool ones that I'd like, but just can't find the time to incorporate them.
Right now, I am concerned though that, for example in the case of the Aria Player, it the interface doesn't fit into theRealBand VSTi window. Hopefully this will get fixed soon, as more and more interfaces start uses more screen real estate, as they increase their features.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
