As well as the new features that will be the focus of this review, SampleTank 4 MAX smokes those numbers, weighing in at an insane 260GB, with 120,000 samples fuelling over 8000 multisampled instruments (see In the ’Tank) and 7500 loops, plus 4000-odd MIDI patterns.
SampleTank 3 introduced a completely new - and much improved - interface and engine, Live Sets (for quick switching between ‘songs’) and more, and increased the size of the sample library from 8GB to 33GB, amounting to over 4000 instruments. Described in our review of version 3 as “big and beautiful, if not particularly bold”, this 16-part multitimbral workstation aims to put an enormous and comprehensive library of lovingly recorded drums, basses, keys, guitars, synths, strings, brass, ethnic instrumentation, FX and anything else you can think of at your fingertips, quickly and easily, but with plenty of sound-shaping, processing and customisation options.
