There are now only two versions of Sampletank, L and XL the previous dance-oriented DJ version has fallen by the wayside, although the new Sampletank 2 is actually much better equipped for working with loops. So is this sequel like The Godfather 2, or are we talking more Police Academy 7? Installation The replacement is certainly bigger, adding a further 2GB of sound data to Sampletank 1's existing 2.5GB library, but that's only the start: it also adds an impressive array of new features, new effects and a thoroughly revised interface, plus support for Mac OS X. I've been a fan of IK Multimedia's Sampletank virtual sound module since I first reviewed it in SOS August 2001, and it's still my first port of call for bread-and-butter sounds, especially drum kits and electric basses but more than two years on, it's now been replaced by Sampletank 2, which IK have been heralding with much ado for a while now.
Sequels are usually bigger and more expensive than the original, but as anyone who's sat though Blues Brothers 2000 will know, they aren't always better. Two years on, there are plenty of fully featured software samplers and non-sampling virtual instruments too. Sampletank was a hit - a sample-based virtual instrument with great sounds and, at the time, not much competition. ST4 should then rebuild the database (if not, click Rescan All) and your legacy content will be available to use.IK's Sampletank 2 running under Steinberg's Cubase SX2. Once the import is complete, open ST4 and make an additional pathway in Settings (gear icon)>Sound Content to point at this new SampleTank 3 folder. You will see a progress window showing the importing, please wait until finished. Choose the disk path for the location of the sounds you want to import by clicking 'Browse' and navigating to the folder which stores your sounds to importĨ. From that menu, select Import Legacy InstrumentsĦ. On the left side is your Instrument browser, click the small "menu" icon in the lower left of the Instrument browser windowĤ. View the main PLAY page (loaded by default)ģ. Here's the description of the import process from the FAQs:Ģ. This sound content needs to be imported into a folder separate to your ST4 installation, so it's a good idea to leave it at its default.
Once installed you can use it to import your legacy products into ST3 format. If you go to your User Area you should find an entry for the free SampleTank Custom Shop along with a serial number. Legacy sound content pre-SampleTank 3 (such as SampleTron, XPansion Tank etc) cannot be imported directly into any version of ST4, it needs to be imported into ST3 first to make the file format readable by ST4.
