SampleTank delivers a huge variety of sounds right out of the box! SampleTank makes composition a breeze so you can focus on the music, keep the inspiration flowing, and create the world's next big hits!
SampleTank launches sampling technology into new dimensions. For the first time in a sample-based instrument, 3 synth engines can be switched on the fly to provide more flexibility than ever before: traditional resampling, pitch-shift/time-stretch and the STRETCH™ engine give you total control over Tempo, Tune and Harmonics. STRETCH™ (SampleTank Time REsynthesys TeCHnology) delivers incredibly rich, vibrant, and natural quality instrument sounds with full-control of tempo, tune and frequencies distribution to tailor tone and push sound design to the limits of your imagination.
More sounds than any sound module - 500 sounds, more than 2GB of samples, 4 CDs
SampleTank beats any existing sound module for sound availability, variety, quality and expandability. More than 5,000 native sounds are already available, and you can import unlimited sounds to take advantage of the exclusive synthesis engine. Import your own WAV, AIFF, SDII for loops and multisampled banks, plus read thousands of high-quality libraries in AKAI and SampleCell formats directly from the plug-in.
Full control over Synth-Sampler engine
SampleTank allows full access to more than 50 synth-engine parameters, including filters, envelopes, LFOs, velocity, and the switchable engines function, for unprecedented fine tuning and sound tweaking. The traditional “user” controls of SampleTank are still available for immediate tuning of dedicated instrument parameters. The portamento feature provides exceptional monophonic performance.
16 layerable parts, full Mix control
The Mix area provides complete, light-speed control over SampleTank's 16 multitimbral parts. Instant access to MIDI channel, Solo, Mute, Empty, Polyphony, Volume and Pan allows total control of up to 16-part mixing. The Mix Panel's instrument layering feature makes it easy to build amazing, 16-part layered sounds.
Enhanced instruments browsing, sound Data Base
Enhanced instruments browsing allows lighting fast access to thousands of sounds. The collapsible folders structure makes SampleTank the fastest sound browsing system ever made. Its integrated sound data base uses factory or user keywords for instant access to the perfect sounds.
Loop Sync feature
This exclusive feature allows you to sync any Loop to the sequencer tempo with a single click and sync various Loops together with extreme ease. Loops can be stretched using one of the 3 available synth engines: resampling, pitch-shift/time-stretch or STRETCH™, for everything from rich natural sounds to unique experimental sonic textures.
Zone Control for super accurate single sample editing
The Zone Control allows you to dedicate SampleTank's overall features to edit a single sample with surgical precision. You can even STRETCH™ a single sample in a traditional resampled bank, and use Zone Control to edit samples with a simple key stroke.
32 DSP effects to choose from – Use up to 5 effects per instrument
SampleTank is loaded with a huge arsenal of 32 award winning DSP effects – that's more effects than any other virtual instrument! Breath-taking effects include IK’s renowned Amp and Cabinet simulators, analog Phaser, Parametric EQ, Compressor, Limiter and other effects for the richest, most realistic sounds imaginable. With an additional effects slot, SampleTank allows up to 5 effects to be inserted for each instrument, offering more sound design flexibility and creativity than any other sampler or sound module.
Convenient Preset and Module Save and Back Up functions
Preset sounds can be saved as “child” sounds and modifications easily stored. Plus, Module Save stores the complete 16 part SampleTank module, for fast and easy recall of customized sounds. You can even back up your session with one click for the fastest file exchange available. SampleTank files can also be transparently swapped among different platforms using a sequencer or OS.
Full MIDI integration: MIDI Controls and Program Change
Any of SampleTank's controls can be associated to any MIDI source with just one click. You can control all features on the fly, including STRETCH™, for amazing live performances. Plus any standard MIDI program change can be associated to any of SampleTank sounds, for instant live recall or for building the ultimate General MIDI set.
256 note polyphony
Every SampleTank sound module can play up to 256 notes polyphony with per-instrument polyphony management.
Complete sonic control takes you beyond traditional sampling with a revolutionary synth engine called STRETCH ™ (Sampletank Time REsynthesis TeCHnology). STRETCH™ provides full control over the tempo and tune of the samples, to give any music an incredibly rich, vibrant, and natural quality. STRETCH™ also expands sonic manipulation capabilities with full-control of an instrument's basic spectrum distribution to tailor tone and push sound design to the limits of imagination.
Many natural instruments loose their realism when played by a sampler. The false sounding glide and bending in many traditional samples have been eliminated by STRETCH™ which delivers a new standard of musical realism, making virtual instruments more natural sounding than ever imagined.
STRETCH™ gives more control over vital sound characteristics, delivers more realism than any other software or hardware synth engines, and offers more tools to unleash creativity.
Instruments with STRETCH™ deliver a vast array of sounds with amazing realism and superb, detailed texture:
Incredibly rich, realistic vocals, strings, guitar, bass, brass, wood winds and many other natural instruments.
Each instrument's performance features come to life with staccato, vibrato, glide, and bending for added dimensions that make your music soar like never before.
STRETCH™ achieves unprecedented musical realism with sound banks that are easy to make with just one sample, and plays chromatically sampled banks with quality that is far superior to any traditional sampler.
Powerful harmonics manipulation reveals more detailed texture on every instrument. Loops witch STRETCH™ are under full control for instant creative power:
Sync any loop tempo to your sequencer tempo with one click. Full control over the loop's tempo and pitch make it easy to create the ultimate groove.
Create rich harmonic parts and soaring choirs in a snap from a looped phrase or drop in a sample of your singer and instantly turn it into a choir part.
Both SampleTank L and XL include the largest array of natural, electric electronic sounds and loops available.
Every sound you'll need in one convenient, easy-to-use package. Hundreds of top-quality Bass, Brass, Drums, Ethnic, Guitars, Loops, Orchestra, Organ, Percussion, Pianos, Strings, Synths, Vocals and Woodwinds in virtually every musical style.
STRETCH™ synth engine and the unique set of 32 DSP effects give SampleTank's instruments more incredibly realistic and expressive sounds than any other sampler or sound module.
Solo Vocals with STRETCH™
Solo vocal using Stretch is composed of rich, dynamic details that capture natural expressions. The NON-stretch version is relatively flat, and one-dimensional, with minimal expression. And the vocal bank is made just with 3 samples! The String background is produced with the SampleTank strings library, of course!
Solo Vocals with STRETCH™
Here are more examples of the amazing natural expression that Stretch can provide solo vocals. Note the realism when the samples are stretched up more than one octave above the original pitch!
Vocals Section with STRETCH™
The contralto vocals section played more than one octave "out of range" sounds very unreal with conventional sampling. STRETCH™. Makes the vocals sound far better than conventional sampling.
Back Vocals with STRETCH™
Single-sample vocal phrases sound out-of-time when playing chords on the keyboard with conventional resampling. STRETCH™ delivers perfect single-sample vocal phrases every time.
Alto Sax with STRETCH™
Alto Sax phrase. Bendings and legatos sound better with STRETCH™. Listen to the "fake" sound feeling of conventional resampling compared to more natural and musical bendings and legatos of the STRETCH™ version.
Soprano Sax with STRETCH™
Soprano Sax phrase. Bendings and legatos sound "fake" with conventional sampling. STRETCH™, offers more realistic, natural and musical bendings and legatos for a much richer sound.
Organ with STRETCH™
Church organ phrase played with STRETCH™ at different Harmonics settings. STRETCH™ is so close to the original organ phrase when modifying the registers, that even modified versions sound like natural organ settings.
Indian flute with STRETCH™
Indian flute phrase, played with bending and "glides". The STRETCH'd version sounds way more natural than the resampled one. Listen carefully to the glides. The overall flute sound is improved with STRETCH™.
Clarinet with STRETCH™
Very low notes are weak and slow in the resampled version. The STRETCH™ version sounds much more natural, as if the low notes were not shifted down by more than one octave. And the overall clarinet sound is more realistic with the STRETCH'd version.
STRETCH™ | Conventional resampling Electric Guitar 1 with STRETCH™
Electric guitar (neck pickup samples) arpeggio becomes a bridge pickup arpeggio.
Funky Guitar with STRETCH™ and FX
Here's an example of what ST can do with quite "normal" original sounds. Using SampleTank's editing features like STRETCH™'s harmonics modifications and pitch shift, and some SampleTank FXs, it's easy to change a Strat patch played with a funk style into a totally funky Clavinet!
Backing Vocals harmonics and speed processing
A single sample phrase played on the keyboard while moving Harmonics and Speed knobs adds amazing realism. Listen to the lengthening of the "i" of "live" and the harmonics that are continuously changing in real time!
Drums with Limiter
This is a powerful limiter! Using an extreme setting, the drum loop becomes POWERFUL! Transform a simple and thin Kick Hat and Snare loop into a sonic monster with the ST Crusher and Limiter.
Loop sync with PS/TS and with resampling
SampleTank loop sync feature
The NoSync version will play by putting these samples together. The Sync version's synchronization uses resampling and autosetting of Loops pitch. The PS/TS version is synchronized with SampleTank's time stretch feature.
Layering - Acoustic Guitars
Here's an example of how beautifully SampleTank can layer together multiple SampleTank patches. This sound is made of three acoustic guitars and a warm pad synth patch.
Complete control over every aspect of your sounds. Exclusive STRETCH™ (SampleTank Time REsynthesys TeCHnology), pitch-shift/time-stretch synthesis, and traditional resampling synthesis put control of tempo, tune and harmonics at your fingertips.
Top-notch features like 32 built-in award-winning effects, 16 multitimbral layerable parts, full synth-sampler engine control, single-sample editing, loop sync, portamento, keyword search, and loads more…
