Even the Italian company IK Multimedia, to give us a “soundy” Christmas, has updated its sample player, SampleTank, to version 4, improving its graphical interface and audio engine, and making available to the user, depending on the version requested (ST4 SE, ST4 or ST4 Max), up to 8.000 preset sounds for a total of up to 250 Gigabytes of data.
ST4, therefore, presents itself with a new graphic design, partly borrowed from Syntronic, which manages several logical screens, simplifying the operational workflow.
In short (Italian only):
Plug.in formats: Stand Alone, AAX, VST3, AU;
16-part multi-timbral;
16 independent outputs;
Live Mode, for instant loading of the items present, organized into lists and Songs;
Expandable library in the future;
PAD: to launch Loops, Patterns (up to 4.000 ready-made) or single notes with any Master Key; 70 FX;
“Layer” mode: to program complex sounds in multiple Splits and Layers;
New Browser: with quick search functions;
BPM sync for FX, Loop, LFO, etc.;
Import samples in .wav and .aif formats;
Backward compatible with previous versions of the program;
…and much more.
An OS, Mac or Windows, is required. 64 bit.
