If you are doing this in bulk and wish to have it pertain to an entire folder tree, make sure you have Recurse Sub-Folders checked in Options-Destination Locations.
Modify Instruments Leaving a Text field BLANK in this dialog means you DO NOT want the parameter changed. If you want a field blanked out, then type in "<blank>", without the quotes. Pressing CTL-F5 while in that field also puts that special character in. Modifiable parameters include Tank Name, Copyright, Effects, Macro Knobs, many parameters, and others. |

Connect Presets to Instruments
SampleTank 2 Preset files, with the extension .stip, link to their parent Instruments
- that is, that they show underneath that Instrument in the SampleTank browser
- by a internal 64-bit ID that cannot be changed by the user. Thus the potential
of losing
that link is very real, with bad results! This function allows you to link
up these files again.
Create/Update Instruments from Presets
Allow new SampleTank 2 instruments to be created or modified based on the information
in a Preset modifying the original SampleTank 2 file. This is handy in case you
want to hardcode this information into an Instrument, instead of having to
access via a Preset.
Update Presets from Instruments
The opposite of Create/Update Instruments from Presets. You can select which
parameters get modified in the Preset. Remember, although a Preset only modifies
one Instrument, a Instrument can be modified by any number of Presets.
Convert SampleTank 1 to SampleTank 2
There's no presing need to use this function; however, we have noticed that it
does clean up SampleTank 1 Instrument's behavior within SampleTank 2.
Convert SampleTank 2 to SampleTank 1
Takes a SampleTank 2 file and converts it into SampleTank 1. There is potential
for loss of data here, as SampleTank 2 allows for different Root Keys for each
sample in a KeyRange, as well as a couple other parameters.
Copy SampleTank ID
Manually takes the 64-bit SampleTank ID from one SampleTank Instrument and adapts
it to another.
