This may not be the place to post. If so, my apology.

I have Sample Tank free and Amplitube on my computer. If memory serves me, some version of these programs came with BB 2016. However, I have never been able to get them to work properly. I can get the Sample Tank piano as a midi patch but that's it. I have loaded instruments from the drop-down list but I get no sound when I try to use it as a VST. Amplitube does nothing.

Are these meant to be VST or just playable instruments? And, is anyone using these with Reaper? I've tried that and get zilch also.

Thanks for your help.

Sampletank is an instrument, but Amplitube is an effect.

Make sure you have properly registered both at the IK-Multimedia site (you will need your serial numbers to do that using the IK Authorization Manager that you can download. This requires having an IK account set up.

For Sampletank, you need to make sure you match the channel of the MIDI track for which you want to use a Sampletank instrument (if you go to Preferences, Channels, you will see which tracks use which channels). The instrument named on the track won't carry through to Sampletank (that only works for multi-timbral General MIDI Synths, like Coyote WT or VSTSynthFont). In the SampleTank interface, you will need to select the appropriate channel and load an instrument in that slot. You should then hear that instrument play back the MIDI data on the track.

Amplitube is a guitar amp and cabinet simulator. It expects audio output from the track as input to the VST to run it through a virtual guitar amp. It's best to use, for example, one of the DI RealTracks, otherwise it would be like running the sound through multiple amp effects. Select a guitar RealTrack track, load Amplitube, and in the Amplitube interface, select the amp/cab configuration you want.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
