I want to play around with the free SampleTank 2 VST. I have never tried a VST before. Is there any free VST hosts that will see it. I have tried tinyhost and psycle with no success. Any suggestions?

Hi,
maybe you could ty the Forte demo?? http://www.brainspawn.com/products/

You may also require require a virtual midi cable & asio driver.

Rikki: Forte did load SampleTank2Free. Thanks for the suggestion.

It's playing sounds, but, when I play the SampleTank electric piano I get what sounds like an analog synth. Any ideas what I am doing wrong or don't have set right?

Hi Robert,
sorry but I haven't actually used Sampletank, just had a hunch that Forte may load it for you.

Try Kristal http://www.kreatives.org/kristal/ as it should support VST plugins.

Hi Robert,
may be way off base, but if you're actually using a midi keyboard to trigger the sounds, is it possible you've got it set to the wrong midi channel & you're not actually triggering the piano, but a synth sound. I assume sampletank is multi timbral.

Nigel: Thanks for the suggestion I will try Kristal.

Rikki: I was just using the on-screen keyboard in SampleTank to get a sound.

I contacted SampleTank help they suggested I try Chainer. It worked.
