"Love it! It's stretch technology is very musical!!! And, so simple to use."

Feature:
Their stretch feature will be so useful. (once I get it to work with my own wav files) It has endless musical possibilities.

Quality:
One feature doesn't work. Importing wavs.

Value:
You can't find this many good sounds for this price any where right now.

Desirability:
I love that fact that their website has lots of demos showing off its cool features. Stuff like this gets missed when you are just stairing at a box in a music store.

Sound:
Great sounds. Extremely easy to use. Still having a problem with importing wavs.

Support:
I am in the middle of a tech support issue now. I need the program to import my wav files, like it says on the box, but it doesn't do it correctly.

Overall:
I will be using this product for while. I thas a nice core of great samples that will be usefull for years to come.

"Great all around program for pro or newbie producers!"

Feature:
The STRETCH feature is a sample producer's dream come true! The effects are nice too! I like the reverb and delay that Sampletank provides...

Quality:
Haven't had a bug yet!

Value:
This product was everything I asked for and more, but still 380 dollars is quite expensive!

Desirability:
The Red Setup looks damn sexy!:)

Sound:
Sampletank probably has the best sounds in any software sampler ever! The strings are amzing, and the acoustic piano is just what I've been looking for in a softsynth! If you use Sampletank along with Cubase SX and a nice MIDI controller, you'll find Triton's become obsolete! This setup kills a Triton any day!

Support:
Haven't had request support yet!

Overall:
Everything you could ask from a softsynth and more! The sounds are top notch, and it does everything it's supposed to!

About This Product!
Description
Multimedia
From Our Catalog
The ultimate sample workstation SampleTank is the ultimate sample-workstation. With an exclusive combination of features and sounds, SampleTank stands apart from any other sample-based virtual instrument, as one of the most powerful and easy-to-use solutions for making fully produced songs out of the box.

The widest variety of sounds in all instruments categories just one click away. You can immediately get tons of Acoustic Grand Pianos, Electric Pianos, Strings, Brass, Winds, Vocals, Orchestral sounds, Organs, Percussion, Drums, Basses, Guitars, Synths, Loops, Ethnic sample and more. Plus now SampleTank has the ability to read all “Powered by SampleTank” instruments’ sounds, including Miroslav Philharmonik, Sonik Synth and the upcoming SampleMoog, Studiophonik and SampleTron. This way you can work much faster and more creatively by having access to thousands of high-quality sounds from a single interface. If this is not enough, you can also import your own WAV, AIFF, AKAI, SDII and Samplecell files for a truly unlimited world of sounds.

3 advanced sample engines allow unique sound manipulation with multi-samples and loops. SampleTank is the only sample workstation that sports 3 different type of sample-engines: traditional resampling, STRETCH™ and PS/TS. The unique STRETCH™ engine will deliver amazing realism and expression over multi-sampled instruments. Your performances will come to life with true glide, bending, full control over staccato and vibrato, with an incredibly rich, vibrant, and natural sound quality (no more “chip-munk” effect). When working with loops, the PSTS engine (Pitch-shift/Time-stretch) will allow you to synchronize loops with one click, or control its tempo and pitch independently for the ultimate beat machine.

The most powerful multi-effects built in a virtual instrument. Every sound in SampleTank is programmed with fully editable built-in effects so drums load up with reverb and compression, guitars with amp-sim, electric organs with rotary speaker and so on. With 5 insert effects per parts and the new 5 send and 5 master effects you can have up to 90 effects available in this production powerhouse. These effects can be selected within the 33 high-quality effects of SampleTank that offer also algorithms from IK’s award winning T-RackS, Classik Studio Reverb and AmpliTube! The top quality IK modeling effects is immediately available to you, just by loading the SampleTank sounds.

So easy to use that you do not need to read the manual. You’re up and going within seconds. More than 50 sampler controls are accessible from an easy-to-use and highly accessible single interface. That’s why you can spend more time focusing on your music instead of studying complex manuals written for engineers and not musicians. That’s also why you’ll find yourself loading up SampleTank as your ‘go-to’ instrument every time you want to let your creativity flow.

So efficient and fast loading that you can easily install it in your laptop and use it as your mobile virtual workstation. SampleTank is so efficient that it can be easily installed and can run from even a modestly priced laptop. Sounds can load up so fast that its performance is comparable to the one of hardware synths and samplers. That is why more and more musicians use SampleTank for their live performances. Try to do this with other complicated and heavy-load sample-based virtual instruments, and you can immediately see the difference!

These are some of the reasons why thousands of top artists and musicians (including Grammy winning names like Eminem, Genesis, Asia, Nickelback, Aereosmith, Shakira, Black Eyed Peas, Outkast, Herbie Hancock, Nine Inch Nails, Laura Pausini just to name a few) have chosen SampleTank in scores of records and soundtracks worldwide.

The new SampleTank 2.5 is available in 2 versions: SampleTank XL and L, which differ only by the number of sounds included. If you want the best, the new SampleTank 2.5 XL comes with 2 DVDs and over 1,800 sounds (for over 6.5GB of samples) plus an extra bonus sound disk! Your second option is the L version, an affordable introduction to SampleTank that includes 1 DVD and over 900 sounds.
