It’s a massive sound source and groove station and the only difficulty you’ll have is in deciding which sound to use. However, it’s not a heavenly place for your synthesizer enthusiasts, it doesn’t have that kind of approach to detailed synthesis.
I have no problem in calling SampleTank 4 an awesome sound source, because that’s surely what it is. A dedicated Live Mode focuses on the management of a live set with instant changes to how things are setup right in your setlist. SampleTank 4 can do all the layering and splitting that live performers could need. There are now 70 effects in SampleTank 4 derived from Amplitude and T-Racks and all manipulable via the modulation matrix. There’s now a complete console mixer giving you full mixing control over the various parts and gives easy access to the comprehensive collection of effects. You can use them to generate more loops and grooves than ever before.
An Arpeggiator, Strummer, Phrase and Loop Manager offers all sorts of melody manipulation and pattern creation. There are 4 new player tools that animate your sounds. A huge modulation matrix lets you route all the modulation sources to parameters and individual instrument elements.
With the sample library as the basic building blocks you can fiddle with envelopes, modulation and choose from 16 filters to craft the tone. The newly designed sound engine lets you dig into the sounds further than ever before. Version 4 brings it bang up to date.īut it’s come a long way from being just a library of sounds. These days you could see it as a software Yamaha Motif or Korg Kronos – multi-purpose, multi-timbral, polyphonic powerhouse of a synthesizer.
When it was first released I used to describe it as a software Roland JV1080. SampleTank is the original workstation software synthesizer specialising in a broad selection of sounds, covering all genres wrapped up in a simple 16-part multitimbral interface.
