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.
Eleven years is a long time in software, so the new version of SampleTank ought to be pretty impressive.
