Thanks.
EDIT: tried to download. This is a third-party site and the 'purchase' does not show up in the normal IK Multimedia account. I'm not sure I will proceed.
Trivia but not about this piano: the name Brandenburg is special to trumpet players. Playing Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos is extraordinarily difficult. There are a few piccolo trumpet players who specialize in doing only this (it’s that difficult). I tried it once; not going to happen.😎

Matt, when I "purchased" I immediately received an IKM serial number and instructions to open the IKM Product Manager to install. Tried that and it worked. Haven't listened to the sounds, but seems legit so far. UPDATE: Loaded the sounds and they play fine in Sample Tank 3. Nice sounding piano, will have to play with it...

Thanks. I think my problem is that I already have an account with IK Multimedia for several other things, but this purchase didn't give me a way to connect them. I went back and saw that there is a caution that this download will not appear on my IKM account and it says to create a new account, but the details are fuzzy.

Matt, I bought an IKM Studio Max version a few years back and the Brandenburg piano loaded under my existing account into my IKM Product Manager and appears alongside the rest of my Studio Max purchases. It's now just another selection under Sample Tank 3. So definitely connected. Frankly, I have WAY more sounds than I'll ever need, but free is free...

I got the serial right away, registered, installed - "correctly" according to IKM app.
The Brandenburg is still grayed-out and tells me it needs to be authorized and sends me to the app. I've re-registered and re-installed - no love.
I downloaded the sounds, unpacked, ran the installer. No change.
I copied the unpacked items to what I believe would be the appropriate ST3 folders. No love.
If anyone has any clues, I'd appreciate hearing 'em...

Floyd, hmmm. When I ran the "Sounds Download" from my IKM "My Products" page , the default directory was my ST3 directory. I selected it, and that worked for me.
I do dislike these convoluted Product Mangers that require you to go outside the Product Manager to actually manage your product. Doh!

Ron, remember that when you bought this piano, it would have been through IK Multimedia. This free offer is not.

Ron, remember that when you bought this piano, it would have been through IK Multimedia. This free offer is not. Matt, sorry for my confused sounding reply. I "puchased" Brandenburg pianos (which I did not have) for FREE last night. The serial number comes by email from audioplugin.deals, but that serial number is valid when used in the IKM Product Manager, and Brandenburg pianos will then show up on your IKM My Products page. A lot of 3rd party sellers work like this, and I've never had a problem.

I’ll take another look. I assume I can take the serial number and enter it into the IKM site, then the download will appear?

I had to use the OLD IK Authorization Manager, instead of the current Product Manager.
Once I entered the serial in it, the piano showed up in ST4.

Matt, there is probably more than one way to do this. I entered the serial number in the IKM Product Manager (their app) after which the sound files were available to download from the IKM My Products page on the IKM site. Floyd used a different method that worked as well.

Once I entered the serial in it, the piano showed up in ST4. I had the exact same experience. I wasted over an hour on the installation, uninstall, reinstall, uninstall and reinstall and authorization of the "freebie". IKM's online "How To" documentation is dead wrong. IKM's new marketing slogan should be: IKM, where our left hands have no idea what our right hands are doing. That's what makes us great piano players!

I'm glad I looked. Found it in my ST3 libraries. When I opened up SampleTank 4 and startrd to search, there is was. It's a nice VI but I have so many now, don't know if I'll ever use it.

I grabbed this deal . It's a really nice sounding piano with a number of variations/presets with several of those being useful.
I had to download the product manager.
I downloaded the Brandenburg but discovered that I needed to have sample tank 4 and the default sound samples with it. Once I got all of it, everything worked perfectly.
If you are not an IK media user as I was.... There's a lot of other really good software and sounds that are fully functional and totally free.
I decided that I need to go through my vsti instruments and fx to weed out the stuff that I don't use. Some of the stuff that doesn't sound like I want, or is difficult to use, or was a demo or limited version and now just takes up a lot of valuable hard drive real estate.
I might work on that this week.
But yeah.... This IK deal is good.
As a side note.... I really need to get myself a piano with 88 keys. Just saying.

QUESTIONS ?? re pianos.
1..is this thread indicative that the current pg piano rt content is inadequate in some way ?? if so maybe users should indicate where the shortfalls are and maybe make suggestions re the type of piano sounds desired. thus saveing users money.
i would far prefer to use pg content where i can instead of dealing with vsti's.
2..personally i feel if one digs there is some pretty good pg piano rt content...eg vancouver piano.
personally i like the sound of a bosendorfer.
as a lover of victor borge comedy sketches i used to like his piano sounds.
happiness.

om 1. Absolutely. While the real tracks are good for fills and general background stuff you can't get them to play specific licks. If you want something that is "signature sound" level playing, you have to play it yourself. I've run into this multiple times when writing a song. I hear a certain part and I know the real tracks are never going to deliver it. My only option is to play it with a good quality sample. 2. The sound quality of the real tracks is not the issue.
