About IK Multimedia SampleTank 4 MAX

Inspiring your musical journeys. One sound at a time

Your new fast-track to world-class tracks
The new SampleTank 4 has been re-designed from the ground up to be every musician's "go to" workstation for music creation, with a completely new rescalable interface, a massively expanded sample library and a new cutting-edge sound engine with efficient disk streaming, to deliver more powerful music creation tools than you ever imagined. What might usually take dozens of plug-ins can be accomplished right inside SampleTank 4, for lightning-fast workflow that keeps your inspiration going.

Find any type of sound fast and tailor them to your needs with the new deep, powerful editing options and a new modulation matrix. New dynamic "groove players" - an arpeggiator, strummer and pattern and loop players - turn your sounds into songs faster than ever. Plus a new live mode makes SampleTank 4 the perfect performance partner, with the ability to create entire set lists and easily map every parameter just how you need it. Inspiring new sounds, powerful sound design features, advanced groove creation and tour-ready stage optimization. SampleTank 4 will take you wherever you want to go.

It all starts with sound
Your "go to" virtual instrument is the one you open first; the one you trust to give you the sounds you need to get started or get the job done. SampleTank 4 now offers a massive sound library, with over 260GB and 8,000 instrument presets carefully balanced across the widest range of styles, genres and sounds. SampleTank 4's new library is the product of dozens of carefully conducted recording sessions in multiple cities across Europe and the United States as well as in our new, custom-built recording facility in Modena, Italy.

SampleTank 4's fully redesigned sound Browser allows you to surf among the thousands of included sounds and filter them by timbre, style, genre, mood and more, to narrow down the exact sound fast or inspire your creativity with unexpected options. Detailed descriptions of each sound, effects and macro provide all the information you need at a glance, letting you focus on your music. SampleTank 4 makes finding or discovering sounds so effortless you'll find yourself reaching for it every time.

Dig Deeper
SampleTank 4 is now capable of so much more when it comes to creative sound design. Working with multiple sounds is a breeze with the new dedicated Layer interface that lets you set up layers and splitting points faster than ever. Opening the "Edit" panel of the Play window reveals the real power of SampleTank 4's completely re-designed new sound engine, letting you dig into even the smallest detail. Whether you're looking to surgically craft a sound or just make an instrument sit better in your mix, SampleTank 4 gives you the controls to make it happen without opening another plug-in.

Animate your sound
SampleTank 4 turns presets into performances with 4 new "Player" sections: The Arpeggiator, Strummer, Phraser and Loop Manager. These 4 powerful new Players make SampleTank 4 one of the most powerful groove creation workstations ever.

Mix faster than ever
SampleTank has always made it easy to layer and mix sounds and the new Parts interface streamlines this process even more, with visual indications of each sound loaded and instant access to volume, pan, mute and solo controls. Mixing is faster and more powerful, with in-interface access to all onboard effects. You can mix an entire track in one window, keeping you focused on the music and not menu-diving.

The best effects get even better
SampleTank 4 adds 13 new effects for a grand total of 70. You've never heard effects like these in a virtual instrument - they're all derived from our industry-leading AmpliTube and T-RackS software. From unbelievably realistic tube saturation to classic analog pedal effects, professional studio processors to creative effects, you can shape your sound with the same effects heard on countless hit records and film scores. SampleTank 4 also adds a new effects modulation matrix, giving you more ways to modulate and shape your sound than ever before. Map any parameter of the effects to the source of your choice, adjust curves and levels and more.

Hands-on control
SampleTank 4 also adds to its full MIDI control a new seamless integration with IK's iRig Keys I/O controllers. You can browse and load sounds from the DATA knob, control any of the 8 macros instantly from the touch-sensitive encoders, control the transport and even trigger loops or browse drum samples or launch live-set ups directly from the integrated pad controllers. With SampleTank 4 and iRig Keys I/O, you have an entire production system that's totally plug-n-play.

From the studio to the stage
A great song deserves to be performed, so SampleTank 4 makes this easier than ever to hit the stage. A unique, re-designed Live mode lets you build an entire set list and gives you the controls you need right at your fingertips for your live performances. SampleTank 4's Live mode lets you focus on the performance, not your software. Each song can have its own pre-set tempo, letting you use loops & grooves without needing to adjust settings between songs. And each sound has its own volume control, so you can turn up for your solo without needing to do a thing on stage. Quickly build a set list and assign program change messages to each sound so you can switch directly from your controller.
