I've bought sampler … not even a tiny little preset?

Your overheads for selling sampler are not high compared to hardware manufacturers so theres no excuse for such a minimal amount of sounds.

I cannot speak for our product or content specification people. As usual they have to try the right balance, because more included "free" content is not really free because it would probably increases the price of the Sampler. How much and if at all I simply do not know.

Would I be right in thinking that as we speak Ableton are developing sound banks which will be for sale at a later date?.

Currently there is nothing else like the EIC and what else is planned I do not know, and even if I would know I could not announce it. So there's no answer to this questions.

BTW: Even the download installer contains instrument racks based on multisamples that are played through simpler. If you want to test driver sampler with presets be sure to put sampler into demo mode (or buy it ;-)) and then right-click the title bar of simpler in such a instrument rack - you will see a "simpler -> sampler" function that switches simpler to, well, sampler mode and you can tweak away...

but ok.. they could have supplied a few "show off" presets.

Thats just silly. If i want a trombone sound for an ad im working on I am not going to learn how to play trombone and record it into my computer just so I can play it back with "sampler". That is why I bought a freaking sampler. It goes without saying that it can be a fantastic creative tool.
