IK Multimedia

IK Multimedia has announced an update to SampleTank 3 for Mac/PC sound and groove workstation. The new 3.5 version consists of 11 new sound collections (Elektronika Series and Beats Series), which are now also available in IK's new SampleTank "Custom Shop." Also introduced are a spread of new features designed to make browsing SampleTank 3's thousands of sounds and patterns faster and easier.

Version 3.5 marks the beginning of the expansion of SampleTank 3's sound content, with exclusive new instruments, patterns and loops. The new sounds are split between 2 different series:

  • The Elektronika Series contains construction kit loops of the most popular electronic dance music genres of today. The Beats Series contains drums, percussion, special effect sounds and MIDI patterns tailored to meet modern producer's needs.
  • The new Elektronika titles feature 8 genre-specific sound libraries. Each of these libraries include over 250 high-quality combinable construction loops that cover every layer of electronic dance music production: drums, grooves, basslines, melodies, stabs, effects and more, designed to take full advantage of SampleTank 3's loop manipulation features. Genres include: Chillout, Deep House, Drum'n'Bass, Hardcore, Indie Dance, Minimal, Techno, Trance. Check out the library descriptions for further details.

All the new sounds are available for purchase via the IK online store. Alternatively, they can also be directly purchased from within SampleTank 3 itself thanks to its new integration with the IK Custom Shop. First launched in 2011 for AmpliTube and then T-RackS, and with an active community of over 1,000,000 registered users, the IK Custom Shop is the most convenient way for musicians to purchase new IK Multimedia gear while using their favorite software or plug-ins. Users can now browse, preview and download this world of new expansion content directly from within SampleTank 3.

These new sounds have also been designed to be experienced with IK's growing range of companion hardware controllers. The new Beats Series integrates with IK's iRig Pads groove production controller, thanks to its integration with SampleTank 3's workflow. Traditional keyboard players will also find that the portability and universality of IK's iRig Keys or iRig Keys PRO is suited for playing SampleTank 3 while on the go, anytime and everywhere.

Price: The latest update to SampleTank 3 is complimentary for current users of all existing SampleTank 3 versions. SampleTank 3 and SampleTank 3 SE users can purchase the new Beats Series and Elektronika Series sound libraries from the IK online store for $39.99 each or 50 Gear Credits in the IK Custom Shop. The SampleTank 3 full version is available now via the IK online store and select music instrument retailers, with upgrades starting at $199.99 and for $349.99 for new users.
