These 30 editable instruments include a full spread of sounds that put lush strings, delicate woodwinds, buzzing synthesizers, funky basses and more all at the convenient touch of your fingertips. You even get highly regarded sounds like Grand Piano 1 SE, a pitch-perfect representation of one of the most highly regarded German-made concert grands of all time.
And you can expand this library from within Custom Shop — you can browse, choose, play and edit from our rapidly expanding catalog of professional instruments collections like Syntronik , Miroslav Philharmonik 2 , Hugh Padgham Drums , Alan Parsons Imperial Grand , Future Synths and others. On the right is the Part Viewer where you can see the contents of each Part and adjust its most basic parameters.
Now you can build inspiring grooves directly within the software and play them at will. The Live tab lets you bring SampleTank 3 on stage with you easier by giving you a clean way to organize your performances by set lists and Song, letting you have your sounds ready to play instantly with its smart loading management system. The MIX page provides a traditional mixer interface with 5 effects slots for each channel.
This arrangement lets you get extremely creative — you can have up to 30 effects on a single instrument! There you can run your samples through everything from envelopes to LFOs to filters — And speaking of filters, SampleTank 3 features 16 filter types for extreme sonic sculpting. Plug in your iRig Pads or other pad-based MIDI controller and you can take advantage of SampleTank's Pad interface, which lets you assign SampleTank 3's 16 parts to the 16 pads on your controller for a seamless and tactile "out-of-the-box" music production experience.
If you enjoyed the ease of SampleTank 2, you'll love SampleTank 3. It gives you 16 "Parts" that work like a channel on a mixing board or a track on a DAW. Parts are powerful. Each Part can contain one instrument and up to MIDI Patterns, and each has its own 5 insert effect slots — now you have a quick way to modify your sounds individually.
For more global effects, each part also contains 4 insert effect sends that let you easily send your sounds to effects that process multiple instruments simultaneously like delays and reverbs. Parts are also flexible. Each Part can be assigned to any MIDI channel letting you layer, split and perform complex multi-timbral sequencing with ease.
And now, with SampleTank 3's integration with iRig Pads , you can also assign its 16 parts to the pads on your hardware controller. Finding sounds has never been easier. SampleTank 3 features an easy-to-use streamlined browser. Use it to quickly find the sounds you need. Need help? Try the INFO tab at the bottom of the Browser, that's where you'll find all the important details for each sound: its description, a list of its assigned controllers and a vivid 3D representation of the selected instrument.
For patterns, switch to the PATTERN tab for a quick way to try out new patterns at various tempos with the sounds you've already loaded. Looking for something? SEARCH lets you use keywords to quickly find the sounds you're looking for using simple terms like music genres or sonic attributes. For example, if you want a pad sound to fill out your electronic track type "atmospheric," and SampleTank 3 will present you with a tailored sound palette of Instruments and Multis.
Now you can get back to the more important business of finishing your song. With SampleTank 3, naming, saving and deleting your Multis or Instruments is easy. Just click on the menu icon in the bottom left. On the right is the Part Viewer. It features an overview of the 16 Parts in your selected Multi. For each Part, you can see the loaded Instrument along with easy-access controls for volume and pan. Previous SampleTank users will find this panel very familiar! The Part Viewer is also where you select the Part to load an Instrument into or to access its Macro controls and insert effects in the control panel at the bottom.
Want to get in the groove? You can load up to MIDI patterns per part with each conveniently organized on your keyboard starting from C0 with one pattern per note. A keyboard loaded with patterns is a potent creative tool. Just imagine the possibilities of being able to trigger SampleTank 3's professionally created MIDI sequences as part of a live performance. And with these Patterns you'll always find something that fits. Once assigned to keys you can edit your Patterns to suit the tone of your song by applying quantization, changing the intensity of the Pattern's dynamics or even transposing the Pattern up-or-down.
And should you need to take it further you can drag your edited Pattern straight into the DAW of your choice, and it will retain all of your carefully considered fine-tuning. Once your patterns have been loaded where you want them, you can use the Global Play button at the bottom to start and stop all enabled Patterns simultaneously.
Different playing styles are what give real instruments their distinct character. SampleTank 3 gives you an unparalleled degree of dynamic expressiveness through its "round robin" feature and multiple articulations, both of which help you mimic the organic tonality of real instruments.
Think of articulations as different playing styles. For example, a violinist doesn't just trigger notes but instead uses a variety of techniques — like Pizzicato plucks, abrupt Staccato bursts and sustained Sostenuto tones — to express a full spectrum of musical emotions.
SampleTank 3 lets you apply the same principle to a majority of its sounds. These articulations are easy to use and can be played in a variety of ways: assign them to a specific key, control them with the modulation wheel or simply cue them by playing different velocities.
This is particularly noticeable when it comes to acoustic instruments where subtle changes in technique — like finger plucking versus pick playing on a bass — make all the difference.
It's where you can quickly organize your sounds for live performance. After you've picked your instruments you can create an entire Setlist.
And with SampleTank 3's smart loading system, you will have all your Instruments, Multis and Effects pre-loaded for you so you can switch sounds instantaneously and segue into your next song without having to wait. SampleTank 3 handles the details — now you have a sound workstation that you can perform with on stage with confidence.
Mix, match and let your creativity run wild: SampleTank 3 makes it easy to use multiple instruments. Want to combine an Acoustic Bass with a Vibraphone? It's a breeze. It's just as simple to split your keyboard to play multiple instruments.
Just do the same thing but use the Edit page to choose which keys trigger which instrument. Now you can play each Part as though it were its own sound module. With 5 insert effects and 4 effect sends on every Part — plus additional racks of outboard processors — it's like having 16 different sound modules to play with! SampleTank 3 gives you the power, flexibility and versatility to develop complex sounds and arrangements with an interface so effortless that even a non-musician can understand it.
Now you can take your beatmaking and electronic music production to the next level; iRig Pads Full Integration lets you enjoy an entirely new and tactile "out-of-the-box" musical experience when using SampleTank 3. The new "Pad" interface lets you plug in and immediately start playing SampleTank from your iRig Pads. It provides full integration, allowing for a new way to control SampleTank's 16 parts without having to click a mouse.
Immediately take control with SampleTank 3's new Macro Panel. Now each and every instrument in SampleTank 3's 33 gigabyte sound library comes with a customized instrument-specific Macro Panel that features 8 of the most relevant controls. Now you can quickly fine-tune the sounds you want: adjust the release of your pads, the key percussion of your organ, the volume of the kick in your drum kit and much more. Now you'll spend more time playing and less time editing.
As noted, these Macro controls vary from instrument to instrument. For example, on a piano you can control its lid, its harp resonance and the amount of room reverb applied. Or, on a drum kit, you can adjust the volume of each individual drum and cymbal as well as the level of compression applied. These Macros are there to make your life easier. Now you'll always have the controls you want, right where you need them.
SampleTank 3 is all about keeping your workflow clean and efficient, which is why it now lets you quickly preview the the effects in a Part's 5 effects slot via the "FX" button. Select the Part you want in the Part Viewer above, then simply click the effect slot to view, edit or bypass the loaded effects.
For maximum ease you can even load new effects right from this panel. There are three kinds of Channels: Part Channels that contain SampleTank Instruments, Return Channels that are used for global-style effects like delay and reverb that can be used for several Instruments simultaneously and the Master Channel where you can perform all your final mastering processing.
Each Part can contain a single SampleTank Instrument with a channel strip that gives you mixing board style controls for volume, pan, mute and solo. Use the 4 send buttons and use the send knob to adjust the send levels from the channel to the 4 Return Channels where you'd typically put multiple instrument effects as opposed to those used on each channel.
At the top of each channel strip are the 5 insert effects slots. The effect slots are serial: the first slot feeds the second slot, the second slot feeds the third slot and so on.
These effects process only their own channel, just the individual Part and its loaded Instrument. These channels do not contain Instruments but instead are fed a signal from the 4 effect sends on each of the Part Channels. This lets you send signals from any Part Channel to any Return Channel.
Typically, the Return Channels are used for effects fed from multiple instruments like reverbs and delays — for example, you can use just one ConvoRoom reverb for your piano, string pad or synth lead. This technique is especially powerful with multiple drum channels. For example, put your kick drums on one channel, snare drums on the next channel and toms on another channel. First process them individually with their insert effects and then equalize and compress them as a group for a punchy and aggressive sound that's suitable for any genre.
The best mixing engineers have used this technique for years. Now you can use it right inside your Instrument before it even reaches the DAW. Now you can do the same thing right inside SampleTank 3. Once you have dialed in the effects on your individual Part Channels and used the sends to apply reverbs and delays — plus any bus processing of groups of instruments — you can then master your final output with effects on the Master Channel. All of these effects have been meticulously modeled after some of the most famous analog studio outboard gear of all time.
This is equipment that's defined the sound of some of the biggest hits in popular music, from classic rock to modern electronic music. You will not find effects of this quality included in any other virtual instrument on the market today.
The MIX page makes working with effects easy. Classic studio outboard gear looks exactly like its outboard hardware equivalent and the same goes for all the included stomp boxes.
Imagine taking any instrument and being able to process it through a state-of-the-art precision synthesizer. Now you can with SampleTank 3's robust Edit Page which lets you customize and sculpt your sound through a full array of oscillators, filters and envelopes.
It gives you the power to combine SampleTank 3's high-quality sample library with a powerful synthesizer engine. Now you can take a classic guitar, a priceless violin, a perfectly tuned custom snare drum or even a concert grand piano and then radically reshape and transform it to fit any song.
You can do this with any sound in SampleTank 3. Now you have the power you need to carve out the sounds of your deepest sonic dreams and you don't need an engineering degree to do it either. The Edit page gives you 3 playback modes suitable for all kinds of source material, 16 classic and modern filters as well as all the LFOs and envelopes you'd expect.
Everything is so clearly labeled and logically laid out that even a beginner can turn the knobs and make interesting sounds. And if you find something you like, SampleTank 3 makes it easy to save what you've got.
More engines means more power. SampleTank 3 features a robust next-generation sampling engine that avoids the problems of more conventional samplers. Have you ever tried to sample a vocal only to hear it played back in the upper registers with that dreaded unnatural "chipmunk" effect?
It does this by using an exclusive new resampling technology that shifts all aspects of a sound — sound fundamentals and formant components.
This results in extremely realistic sounds even in the upper register. Because of this, SampleTank 3 is able to provide extreme realism on Vocals, Woodwinds, Brass and other organic instruments.
Want to import your own sounds? With SampleTank 3 all you need is just one sample! SampleTank 3 includes thousands of ready-to-go loops for Drums, Percussions and groove creation. Change groove tempos and sync loops seamlessly. With SampleTank 3 you'll have a blast and get perfect results.
Powerful filters make for a powerful program. SampleTank 3 features 16 filters with all kinds of resonance and overdrive to help color your sound. They're easy to use and feature a flexible controllability that you won't find on even the best analog synthesizers. With SampleTank 3, you can turn a pure piano into a mighty synthesizer lead or turn a mighty electronic synthesizer lead into a soft and fluffy pad!
SampleTank 3 gives you all the filters you need to make the sounds you want: there's a famous analog transistor ladder filter, a renowned IC chip filter and iconic state-variable filters as well as formant, phaser and multimode filters. This man did a great job for us until his death, and he is considered one of the kings of samples. We all wish Douro Malaya a relaxing stay. Plug in your iRig Pads or other pad-based MIDI controller and you can take advantage of SampleTanks Pad interface, which lets you assign SampleTank 3s 16 parts to the 16 pads on your controller for a seamless and tactile out-of-the-box.
SampleTank 3 Special Edition gives you a taste of the 4, instruments available in the full version via carefully selected, meticulously sampled instruments from 20 categories that stretch across every genre, style.
However I am looking to upgrade to ST3 and have recently downloaded Sampletank 3 free version to evaluate. However, it does not say where you can download them from and there are no links on that page that I can find.
