Overall the sound quality itself is great, and the variety is deep, I’m sure there’s something in here for everyone, for me the stand outs were some of the “traditional” instruments. I thought the Organs and EPs were very good and I found some useful acoustic pianos as well. The ethnic section wasn’t all that great to me, at least not the melodic instruments but there were some ethnic percussion patches that were well done. They also did a good job on the acoustic drums, I definitely have a few kits in there that I really enjoy using. There’s tons of synth bass, leads, and pads, with plenty of goodies to be found within each….I founds some very nice pads (you know I love pads) Woodwinds were cool, there was a nice flute in there and some of those ensembles were good as well. I wasn’t too fond of the solo brass, but the ensemble brass sounded good, the Jazz brass sections were really nice and fit my style of music for sure. Solo strings were nice, especially the Violin 2, and the string sections were very usable as well as the mixed orchestra. I liked the way you could trigger the slides in the acoustic guitars, and I found the electric guitars to have a really nice sound, especially those using some of the AmpliTube FX. I also liked the guitar sounds, both acoustic and electric. Some of the sounds that stood out to me were the electric and acoustic bass sounds, there are some REALLY great bass instruments in here. There are some really good sounds in here, I found a lot of useful instruments and made a track the first day I installed it. They also included a bunch of fx so you can tweak your sound at will.
In addition to sample playback, there’s also 3 different sampling engines, dedicated edit page, and you can even use it as a groove station with it’s included percussion/drum loops and construction kits. Of course it resides on your computer and has over 30GB of sound content. It’s like a general purpose workhorse, similar to the hardware workstations like the Motif, Triton, or Fantoms.
It covers all types of sounds from acoustic guitar and bass, to strings, synths, sound fx, drums and more. Think of SampleTank as an instrument workstation for your computer. Back with another reivew for you, this time it’s on the long-anticipated SampleTank 3
