Plus now SampleTank has the ability to read all “Powered by SampleTank” instruments’ sounds, including Miroslav Philharmonik, Sonik Synth and the upcoming SampleMoog, Studiophonik and SampleTron. This way you can work much faster and more creatively by having access to thousands of high-quality sounds from a single interface. If this is not enough, you can also import your own WAV, AIFF, AKAI, SDII and Samplecell files for a truly unlimited world of sounds.
3 advanced sample engines allow unique sound manipulation with multi-samples and loops. SampleTank is the only sample workstation that sports 3 different type of sample-engines: traditional resampling, STRETCH™ and PS/TS. The unique STRETCH™ engine will deliver amazing realism and expression over multi-sampled instruments. Your performances will come to life with true glide, bending, full control over staccato and vibrato, with an incredibly rich, vibrant, and natural sound quality (no more “chip-munk” effect). When working with loops, the PSTS engine (Pitch-shift/Time-stretch) will allow you to synchronize loops with one click, or control its tempo and pitch independently for the ultimate beat machine.
The most powerful multi-effects built in a virtual instrument. Every sound in SampleTank is programmed with fully editable built-in effects so drums load up with reverb and compression, guitars with amp-sim, electric organs with rotary speaker and so on. With 5 insert effects per parts and the new 5 send and 5 master effects you can have up to 90 effects available in this production powerhouse. These effects can be selected within the 33 high-quality effects of SampleTank that offer also algorithms from IK’s award winning T-RackS, Classik Studio Reverb and AmpliTube! The top quality IK modeling effects is immediately available to you, just by loading the SampleTank sounds.
So easy to use that you do not need to read the manual. You’re up and going within seconds. More than 50 sampler controls are accessible from an easy-to-use and highly accessible single interface. That’s why you can spend more time focusing on your music instead of studying complex manuals written for engineers and not musicians. That’s also why you’ll find yourself loading up SampleTank as your ‘go-to’ instrument every time you want to let your creativity flow.
So efficient and fast loading that you can easily install it in your laptop and use it as your mobile virtual workstation. SampleTank is so efficient that it can be easily installed and can run from even a modestly priced laptop. Sounds can load up so fast that its performance is comparable to the one of hardware synths and samplers. That is why more and more musicians use SampleTank for their live performances. Try to do this with other complicated and heavy-load sample-based virtual instruments, and you can immediately see the difference!
These are some of the reasons why thousands of top artists and musicians (including Grammy® winning names like Eminem, Genesis, Asia, Nickelback, Aereosmith, Shakira, Black Eyed Peas, Outkast, Herbie Hancock, Nine Inch Nails, Laura Pausini just to name a few) have chosen SampleTank in scores of records and soundtracks worldwide.
