Like many things in life, a sharp increase in the quantity of something can often act as a detriment to it’s quality. If I’m being completely honest, when I saw the sheer volume of sounds included in SampleTank 4 Max, I was a little apprehensive about the possible sound quality of each individual instrument. Let’s load up some instruments and take a look at how this sampling workhorse actually sounds. It is immediately obvious that a lot of thought has gone into perfecting the design of SampleTank 4 so as to appeal to both beginners and SampleTank fanatics. IK Multimedia clearly understand that first impressions count. Much like SampleTank 3, the overall workflow is logical and straight-forward, but this revamped engine feels classier, and offers a more effortless, intuitive user experience.

The Instrument Browser provides a similar engine for browsing sounds, which can be filtered by library, category and other new filters such as timbre, style etc. The default “parts” screen allows you to fill the 16 instrument slots and edit top-level attributes such as pan, transpose, MIDI channel etc. The overall concept echos that of SampleTank 3.
