Sampletank 2 becomes the master control center for your whole library, and with a nice search funtion, allows you to search for keywords to help you find the sounds you want. The key is the Sampletank 2 engine can load any Sampletank format sound, plus importing wav and Akai format. The sounds in Sampletank L are a nice compliment to the Sonik Synth 2 sounds, mostly increasing the bread and butter library. It's also very nice that they put Sampletank L into this deal. It also has a bunch of great pad and atmospheric type sounds. All the sounds are very playable, and very high quality. Sonik Synth 2 also includes a bunch of bread and butter type sounds, like organs, pianos, orchestral, bass, drums, etc. It's really like going to a keyboard shop, putting everykeyboard they have into your hard drive. For keyboardists, it's a gem, because of all the cool vintage synth sounds.
