It also gives you access to many parameters of the sound for tweaking to your heart’s content. The other sampler-based instrument is called Syntronik Deluxe, and it gives you access to classic analogue and digital synths most could only dream of playing, much less owning. It’s limited in its operation, but most producers will find some use in it with a bit of practice.

Strummer is particularly fun and inspiring as it provides patterns that allow you to perform strummed guitar parts (using whatever instrument you like). These are super handy for generating ideas quickly or for performing parts live. SampleTank 4 also includes “groove players” – performance tools such as arpeggiator, loop player, pattern player and a “strummer”. Consequently, we could find loads of sounds to fit various styles from hip-hop and trap to synthwave and more. IK has added eight new libraries on top of the collection of 22 in the enhanced core library. With over 260GB of sounds (including 200GB of new content), you need to be able to find sounds quickly and load them fast. IK has been tweaking the engine responsible for disk-streaming, too. You can also search by keywords, making it quick to find what you’re looking for. Instrument offeringsįinding sounds is easy, though, due to the powerful librarian that lets you search for sound in different styles, instrument groups or even moods. It includes over 8,000 sounds covering a vast range of instruments, including pianos and other chromatic instruments, guitars and basses, drums and percussion, orchestral instruments, organs, loops, sound effects, synths and more. SampleTank – now at version 4 – is the instrument that began IK’s foray into virtual instruments. Total Studio includes so many instruments, it’s difficult to know where to start.
