The paid versions are SampleTank 4 SE ($150), SampleTank 4 ($300), and SampleTank 4 MAX ($500). It features 50 instruments adding up to 4GB. You can even get into the world of ST4 for free with the recently released SampleTank 4 CS. ST4 is available in four editions, differentiated only by the included library size and pricing. It delivers a formidable collection of high-quality instruments and loops comprising pro samples processed through a versatile synth engine and top-notch effects, rounded out with a full complement of mixing and performance controls. SampleTank 4 is a 16-part multitimbral sound/groove workstation for the Mac and PC that improves on a respected legacy. Can a virtual warehouse full of instruments maintain quality along with quantity? Even the free version? Performance is generally good, but combining large sample instruments can cause trouble.įor an all-round multitimbral software instrument, I think SampleTank 4 is a great choice. There is a lot of great sounds to discover here.Ĭrashes are rare, but can occur when switching too quickly between instruments based on large samples. Very powerful and flexible stuff.Īs for the sounds, highlights include strings, pianos, EP’s, organs, wood winds, vocals and synths. I have also bought Syntronik by IK Multimedia, as these sounds can be loaded and played in ST4. ST4 can run as a stand alone application, so there is no need for a VSTi host, which makes it even easier to run. The synth workstation-like interface, makes it very easy to set up sounds, combine them in all kinds of splits and layers and switch between them using MIDI program changes from my keyboards.
That is, as a multitimbral instrument that provides additional sounds to my hardware keyboards. I am using ST4 very much as a rack synth. For me, SampleTank 4 has been a great, simple and low risk way to incorporate many more sounds into my live rig.
