SampleTank 4 now offers a massive sound library, just updated with up to 600 GB and 18,000 instrument presets carefully balanced across the widest range of styles, genres and sounds.

Thanks to SampleTank 4’s new efficient disk-streaming engine, these sounds all load faster than ever and perform like never before.

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 split 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.

Choose from 16 filters, edit envelopes, oscillators, portamento, polyphony, and more. The options are endless.

Choose from 4 sample engines, including IK’s award-winning STRETCH, to find the right algorithm for your sounds.

Edit each element of a sound, from the sustain of a violin to the kick of a drum kit, with different settings for each.

SampleTank 4’s new modulation matrix gives you complete control over the organic complexity of your sounds. Easily link modulation sources like envelopes, LFOs, oscillators, and even individual instrument elements. Your creativity is the only limit to designing even the most intricate soundscapes.

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 preset into performances with 4 new “Player” sections: the Arpeggiator, Strummer, Phraser, and Loop Manager.

  • The Arpeggiator offers fresh ways to create patterns. Draw in up to 16-note patterns, set velocity, length, swing, and more.
  • The Strummer lets you set chords, position, direction, and more, and then intelligently creates your accompaniment.
  • Use the Phraser pattern player to browse over 4,000 MIDI patterns and map them to keys fast. Adjust intensity, humanize and swing for infinite variations.
  • The Loop Manager boasts over 7,500 loops available between loop instruments. Pitch, grain, and time controls keep things fresh.

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.

  • Each track in the mixer gives you access to panning, volume, mute, solo, and routing, so you never have to leave the window.
  • Each track also includes instant in-window access to all 5 effects slots, so you can adjust effects on the fly.
  • The Mix window offers 4 effects sends and a master bus, all with space for 5 effects, for professional routing & mixing.
  • SampleTank 4 also adds console channel strips, letting you mix with the sound of legendary studio consoles from all eras.

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.

ik multimedia sample tank

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.

Keeping it all together

Included with Total Studio 4 MAX is the new IK Product Manager, which automates the installation process and keeps all the IK products organized and up to date. Now you can focus on making music instead of updating software.
