Phraser: Enables swift browsing and mapping of over 4,000 MIDI patterns.Strummer: Provides selection of chord positions, direction and more, and also creates accompaniment.Arpeggiator: Allows you to add patterns, set velocity, length, swing and more to your presets.These turn simple presets into dynamic performances of sorts. The SampleTank 4 introduces four new ‘groove players’ to the mix: an arpeggiator, strummer, phraser and loop manager. Elsewhere, a new modulation matrix beefs up editing capabilities, giving you easy access to a range of envelopes, LFOs and oscillators. There’s also a dedicated Layer interface that enables the creation of multiple layers – for up to 16 simultaneous sounds.

One highlight of the revamped interface is the updated Sound Browser, which allows you to navigate sounds much more efficiently. It’s been overhauled, and the result is an easy-to-use UI that’s fully scalable/zoomable to cater to all screen sizes. It seems IK Multimedia went back to the drawing board for SampleTank 4’s interface. And thanks to the workstation’s efficient disk-streaming engine, larger sounds load faster. The library includes sounds from concert pianos, keyboards, guitars, bass, drums, strings, brass, synths, vocals, percussion and much more. Almost all – 200GB – of the content is brand new, having been taken from high-quality recording sessions across Europe and the US. It features up to 250GB of sounds and 8,000 instrument presets that range across a kaleidoscope of styles and genres. With its massive new library, the creative possibilities are almost limitless. The SampleTank 4, like its forebears, is a great place to start for music creators.
