SampleTank 2 sounds good, and I like the new features so far, but browsing for sounds is not as simple and quick as it used to be. I'd like it better if they had an ALL button as an option to show all sounds in a category. I think SynthMaster and Nave are two other apps with sound packs that force you to look pack by pack for a sound.

SampleTank 2 sounds good, and I like the new features so far, but browsing for sounds is not as simple and quick as it used to said: And didn't the old version allow for previewing unpurchased packs by assigning them to patterns? When I'm looking for a particular category of instrument, I usually don't care what pack it comes from. Scrolling down large lists does not help me get their said: Favourite sounds actually become fixed visually in my mind where they are and which segment of which pack they are in. The larger the list, the more my brain feels that it is just an unmanageable list and not that these are actual instruments that need time to play and explore. The 8 sounds gives me enough to be practicing with and having shorter lists makes me less likely to neglect sounds. In other words segmenting the sounds makes it easier for my brain to remember where. In practice I find both the procedures easy, quick and better for my brain in practice. Same as the saving the Song and sending it to the Live area, it sounds like a lot of steps. I would definitely buy more packs if they did. It would be great if they would let us have the choice of interface, as some people do like the new one. If I purchase more sound packs it will take even longer. It was easier, faster, logical and more intuitive. This wonderful aid to workflow seems to be over. Why is 8 extra steps better than no steps? I doubt I will be able to remember the sounds well enough to compare them. Let's say I'm now in multi-mode and I'm checking out the synth leads in the Sampletank folder and I want to try out all the synth leads I have purchased in SampleTank. In seconds I could compare them and pick the one that fit best in my mix. All the sounds from all my sound packs were in the same place. In the past, if I had written some MIDI in my DAW and wanted to explore a synth lead, I could just go down a list.

I'm curious why some prefer the new interface to the old.
