#SAMPLETANK 3 UPDATE FULL#
On the right you also get a mini-mixer, so you can tweak level and pan without having to flip to the full Mixer page. The Play page allows you to browse all of this content and assemble a set of instruments within the 16 available slots. Many of these are culled from IK Multimedia’s other products such as AmpliTube and T-Racks. As before, you also get an impressive collection of audio effects that can be used within SampleTank’s mixer.
#SAMPLETANK 3 UPDATE PLUS#
The 4.5GB library from v2 has been replaced with over 33GB of content including 4000 plus instruments, some 2500 drum and percussion loops and over 2000 MIDI patterns. As well as a visual update, the supplied sample library has also been substantially expanded.
#SAMPLETANK 3 UPDATE WINDOWS#
The latest version is a 64-bit only application, and supports the standard plug-in formats for both Windows and OS X, and stand-alone operation. While familiar elements remain (for example, the Parts list within the Play screen, where you can see the instrument loaded into each of SampleTank’s 16 parts), there are now four main workspaces within the overall environment - Play, Mix, Edit and Pad - and each of these is accessed via the four tab buttons located top-left of the main interface.

This version brings a complete redesign of the user interface. While that’s a pretty bold statement, as with SampleTank 2, it does perhaps hint that this is a virtual instrument that might appeal more to those who want to work with the supplied content (and perhaps tweak it somewhat) rather than someone who wants to build their own sample-based instruments from scratch. IK Multimedia describe SampleTank 3 as ‘the ultimate sound and groove workstation’. So, with v3.5, have IK Multimedia bought SampleTank right up to date so it can slug it out against the obvious sample-based virtual instrument competition? What’s In The Tank?
#SAMPLETANK 3 UPDATE UPGRADE#
By modern music technology standards, that’s a pretty lengthy upgrade cycle.
#SAMPLETANK 3 UPDATE SOFTWARE#
A little over 10 years later, SampleTank 3 has now appeared (and, indeed, during the course of writing this review, v3.5 was released, so it’s this incarnation of the software that I’ve looked at here). If you were a SampleTank fan back then, you’ll have had to wait quite some time for the next major update. The last time SOS looked at SampleTank was quite some time ago when we reviewed SampleTank 2 back in February 2004. This catalogue includes SampleTank, a sample-based virtual instrument that is 16-part multitimbral, provides support for multi-layer, multi-articulation sampled instruments, can play back both audio and MIDI loops (patterns) and is supplied with a broad palette of sounds that cover all the major instrument groups. The company make competitively priced hardware add-ons for music production and also have a line of software that includes the popular virtual guitar rig AmpliTube, a number of virtual instruments and the T-Racks range of audio effects/processors. IK Multimedia will be well known to many SOS readers. If you need more, check out the youtube videos of SampleTank 3.īTW - I did the upgrade from K9 to K9U as well.Eleven years is a long time in software, so the new version of SampleTank ought to be pretty impressive. Once they are released you can get it anywhere you want but won't get the discount.

My understanding is the only way to get the pre-order prices are through Sweetwater. Considering that the samples are updated now, it works in 64-bit environments, and the fact that all my expansion packs will still work with it, I'm jumping on it myself! Already have my $100 earmarked for it. Once I went to 64-bit and Windows 7, I couldn't use either program any more. Over the years I got hooked into many group buys and accumulated most of the expansion packs that they offered. Plus, at the time, I thought the acoustic guitars beat everything out there. Obviously, as the years went by and samples got bigger, it lost popularity, but remained in my arsenal because of its ability to layer and split anything you wanted. I was very impressed with what it did for the money at the time. SampleTank 1 was my first ITB ROMpler (if you will). I have SampleTank 2XL and Sonik Synth 2 and can upgrade for $99, so for me it's more of a no brainer.
