For example, the solo strings don't always sound perfect, but I am impressed with the sounds of the ensemble strings and some of the brass instruments don't sound quite right at the high end of their range, but are good in the lower register. Some of the orchestral instruments sound good in part of the range and more obviously sampled in others. The EDM and band side of things is covered quite well, and there's a relatively complete set of orchestral instruments too. The GUI has been improved slightly, and for the most part is user-friendly, relatively intuitive.Īs with any sampler, the sound libraries are the most important thing, and IKM has done a pretty good job at providing some high quality samples. The first thing that struck me about it is the size of the library - 33GB, which covers a very wide range of instruments and sounds. ST3 has been touted here and elsewhere as a huge step forward, and I think it is. Sampletank was always one of those tools that I only used for the libraries that were ST only, but didn't own it - until now.
