Every day, it just keeps getting more and more advanced. I remember getting my very first Apple iBook and an MBox 1 and it coming with Sampletank. I loved that program, and now I bet this version for iPhone and iPad completely blow that version out of the water. I still haven’t used my iPad for much more than a control surface for Pro Tools but I’m sure that day is coming very soon and I’m sure this will be on there. Some of the new updates are more grooves, more sounds, and better graphics! Its free for existing owners.
IK Multimedia, a leader in mobile music-creation apps and accessories for iOS — is proud to announce the release of SampleTank 1.4, the latest version of its professional-quality sound-and-groove-module app for iPhone,iPad and iPod touch. The app is now fully optimized to support the larger screen of both iPhone 5 and the new iPod touch while providing eye-catching graphics that showcase amazingly on the Retina display.
SampleTank now also sports increased polyphony (the number of simultaneous notes that can be played). Up to 64 simultaneous voices are now available, and this expanded note capacity gives users even more freedom to produce complex, professional-caliber arrangements in SampleTank’s 4-track recorder, right on their iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
Lots in the Tank
SampleTank comes loaded with hundreds of world-class sample-based sounds and patterns, giving users a broad sonic palette for producing professional-sounding tracks and beats, or for use as a sound module for live performance.
SampleTank features 16 instrument categories and includes over 500 sounds, from drums to pianos to basses to synths to guitars and many more. Users can customize the sounds through editable parameters such as volume, attack, and filter; and with insert effects and a master reverb. Thanks to a newly streamlined user interface, navigation through Sample Tank’s powerful features is now even easier and faster.

Additional instruments, patterns and grooves are available in convenient instrument-specific expansion sound packs, making it easy for users to add the specific sound types they need.
IK offers two great options for controlling SampleTank externally: iRig KEYS is a 37-mini-key, bus-powered, ultra-portable keyboard; and iRig MIDI is an iOS MIDI interface that makes it possible to plug any external controller into an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
