Genres include:Ĭhillout: A laidback library of sun-drenched melodies and retro rhythmsĭeep House: An essential mix of jackin’ beats and big-room bass for sweaty dancefloorsĭrum’n’Bass: A subwoofer-rumbling assortment of bass tones and skittering breaks
Each of these collections have been designed to take full advantage of SampleTank 3’s loop manipulation features to give musicians a new way to interact with the music they love. Each of these libraries include over 250 high-quality combinable construction loops that cover every layer of electronic dance music production: drums, grooves, basslines, melodies, stabs, effects and more. The new Elektronika titles feature 8 genre-specific sound libraries.
The Beats Series contains drums, percussion, special effect sounds and MIDI patterns tailored to meet the needs of modern electronic music producers.
The new sounds are split between 2 different series: The Elektronika Series contains construction kit loops suited for the most popular electronic dance music genres of today. Version 3.5 marks the beginning of a massive expansion of SampleTank 3’s sound content, with new instruments, patterns and loops designed and programmed exclusively for the most powerful sound and groove workstation on the market.ġ1 new sound collections that cover the entire spectrum of electronic music production needs are now available for SampleTank 3 and SampleTank 3 SE. Now that functionality is being pushed further via the introduction of a range of downloadable sound libraries that will expand and grow alongside SampleTank 3, allowing its world of sounds to be customized to suit the needs of any creative workflow.
Released in 2014, SampleTank 3 has become an indispensable tool for professional musicians due to its jaw-droppingly large 33GB library of bread-and-butter sounds (with over 4,000 instruments from every category), 55 high-quality effects, MIDI patterns, advanced groove tools and a powerfully enhanced sample engine. Also introduced – by popular demand – are a spread of new features that make browsing SampleTank 3’s thousands of sounds and patterns even faster and easier than ever before.
The update consists of 11 brand new sound collections, which are now also available in IK’s new SampleTank “Custom Shop”. IK Multimedia is proud to announce that SampleTank® 3, its industry-standard sample workstation has just received a major update in the form of version 3.5. This really expands SampleTank to the big leagues. Using the Custom Shop, you can buy these sounds individually or the whole package. This includes 11 new sound collections and 12 new libraries.
It's a lot more expensive than a half-price upgrade to ST4, but Omnisphere, the expansions that are continually being released for it, and the fact that it's a synthesizer, are more in tune with my specific needs.IK Multimedia has a major update to the company’s flagship software sampler SampleTank 3.
At 260 GB, I'd no doubt find every sound I'd want for my pop productions, but at the cost of filling my hard drive up with 259 GB of samples I'd never use. This is why I have not upgraded to ST4 Max. I own a lot of deeply-sampled, dedicated libraries for horns, guitars, orchestral, ethnic, and other acoustic instruments, so it's very unlikely I'd use SampleTank or any other all-in-one library for those purposes. It's for that reason that a SampleTank Max library is like the Omnisphere of romplers. Sometimes I just need a certain sound, and SampleTank will have it. It always finds its way into all of my pop-oriented productions, often working alongside various soft synths. I have SampleTank 2.5 XL (which I guess is the equivalent of "ST2 Max") which I play through the ST3 engine.
