IK Multimedia Syntronik – Virtual Synthesizer Workstation Plug-In (Full Version, Download)

Available as an electronic download, IK Multimedia Syntronik is a virtual synthesizer workstation plug-in with a library that comprises seventeen modeled instruments with over 2000 preset sounds. The library covers 38 meticulously multi-sampled iconic vintage synthesizers and string machines, including the Oberheim OB-Xa, ARP String Ensemble, Sequential Circuits Prophet-5, PPG Wave 2.3, Minimoog Model D, Roland Jupiter-8, and more. To make your sound-tweaking experience even more inspirational, the workstation offers seventeen dedicated interfaces with the look and feel of the original hardware panels and easy-to-use controls.

Syntronik employs the company’s DRIFT technology to emulate the way real analog circuits behave over time and recreate the unmistakable sound of analog oscillators. The synth engine features circuit-level filter models from four of the best-sounding synths of all time, which provide a pristine reproduction of the most critical sections of each synthesizer in the collection, while enabling you to produce your own original sonic dimensions.

The software comes with true 4-part capability, great for layering rich sounds with multis and splits. Four keyboard modes including Poly, Mono, Legato 1, and Legato 2, and four dynamic arpeggiators are included to create complex rhythmic textures. 38 high-quality effects are available for insertion via a lunchbox-style interface, which allows you to intuitively forge, manipulate, transform, and mangle your sounds with up to five simultaneous effects per instrument.

Syntronik is compatible with Mac and Windows platforms, and works in VST2, VST3, Audio Units, and AAX formats running at 64-bit.

IK Multimedia SampleTank 3 Sample-Based Virtual Instrument (Download)

This electronic download version of SampleTank 3 Sample-Based Virtual Instrument from IK Multimediafeatures over 33GB of sound samples organized into over 4,000 instruments in 21 categories, ranging from acoustic and electronic drums, string and synth basses, guitars, pianos, strings, woodwinds, vocals, percussion, loops, and many more. Not limited to instruments, SampleTank 3 boasts over 2,500 drum, percussion, and full construction kit loops and over 2,000 MIDI files to help you get started making grooves in a variety of styles.

To help you further manipulate your sounds, SampleTank 3 features 55 integrated effects ranging from EQ and compression to guitar amp modulation, reverb, delay, and filters, including many derived from IK Multimedia’s T-RackS and AmpliTube software. SampleTank 3’s interface is composed of Play, Mix, and Edit environments for streamlined sound selection, editing, and mixing capabilities. The software can run stand-alone and supports 64-bit AAX, VST, and AU plug-in formats.

Play Environment

The Play Environment allows you to browse thousands of instruments from Hip Hop to classical as well as make adjustments on the fly.

The Browser

SampleTank 3 features a streamlined browser. Use it to quickly find the sounds you need. Its tabs let you easily navigate between all the essential elements of the Play Page: MULTI, INSTRUMENT, PATTERN and LIVE.
Need help? Try the INFO tab at the bottom of the Browser, that’s where you’ll find all the important details for each sound: its description, a list of its assigned controllers and a vivid 3D representation of the selected instrument.
For patterns, switch to the PATTERN tab for a quick way to try out new patterns at various tempos with the sounds you’ve already loaded.
Looking for something? SEARCH lets you use keywords to find the sounds you’re looking for using simple terms like music genres or sonic attributes. For example, if you want a pad sound to fill out your electronic track type “atmospheric,” and SampleTank 3 will present you with a tailored sound palette of Instruments and Multis. Now you can get back to the business of finishing your song.
With SampleTank 3, naming, saving and deleting your Multis or Instruments is easy. Just click on the menu icon in the bottom left.

The Part Viewer

The Part Viewer features an overview of the 16 Parts in your selected Multi. For each Part, you can see the loaded Instrument along with easy-access controls for volume and pan.
The Part Viewer is also where you select the Part to load an Instrument into or to access its Macro controls and insert effects in the control panel at the bottom.

Working with Patterns

Want to get in the groove? SampleTank 3 includes a collection of pre-made MIDI Patterns that you can use to spice up your songs. When you click the PATTERN tab you’ll see a list of the MIDI Patterns available – all easily previewable with the Browser’s dedicated preview button. You can load up to 128 MIDI patterns per part with each organized on your keyboard starting from C0 with one pattern per note.
With these Patterns you’ll always find something that fits. Once assigned to keys you can edit your Patterns to suit the tone of your song by applying quantization, changing the intensity of the Pattern’s dynamics or even transposing the Pattern up-or-down. And should you need to take it further you can drag your edited Pattern straight into the DAW of your choice, and it will retain all of your carefully considered fine-tuning.
Once your patterns have been loaded where you want them, you can use the Global Play button at the bottom to start and stop all enabled Patterns simultaneously.

Articulation

Different playing styles are what give real instruments their distinct character. SampleTank 3 gives you dynamic expressiveness through its “round robin” feature and multiple articulations, both of which help you mimic the organic tonality of real instruments.
Think of articulations as different playing styles. For example, a violinist doesn’t just trigger notes but instead uses a variety of techniques – like Pizzicato plucks, abrupt Staccato bursts and sustained Sostenuto tones – to express a full spectrum of musical emotions. SampleTank 3 lets you apply the same principle to a majority of its sounds. These articulations are easy to use and can be played in a variety of ways: assign them to a specific key, control them with the modulation wheel or simply cue them by playing different velocities. This is particularly noticeable when it comes to acoustic instruments where subtle changes in technique – like finger plucking versus pick playing on a bass – make all the difference.

Layers, Splits, and Multi-Timbral Sequencing

Mix, match and let your creativity run wild: SampleTank 3 allows you to use multiple instruments. Want to combine an Acoustic Bass with a Vibraphone? Just assign whatever Parts you’d like to the same MIDI channel. It’s just as simple to split your keyboard to play multiple instruments. Just do the same thing but use the Edit page to choose which keys trigger which instrument. To play multiple parts at once, such as with a sequencer or DAW, assign each Part to its own MIDI channel. Now you can play each Part as though it were its own sound module.
With 5 insert effects and 4 effect sends on every Part – plus additional racks of outboard processors – it’s like having 16 different sound modules to play with.

The Macro Panel

Immediately take control with SampleTank 3’s new Macro Panel. Now every instrument in SampleTank 3’s 33GB sound library comes with a customized instrument-specific Macro Panel that features 8 of the most relevant controls. Now you can quickly fine-tune the sounds you want: adjust the release of your pads, the key percussion of your organ, the volume of the kick in your drum kit and much more. Now you’ll spend more time playing and less time editing.
As noted, these Macro controls vary from instrument to instrument. For example, on a piano you can control its lid, its harp resonance and the amount of room reverb applied. Or, on a drum kit, you can adjust the volume of each individual drum and cymbal as well as the level of compression applied.

The FX Panel

SampleTank 3 lets you quickly preview the effects in a Part’s 5 effects slot via the “FX” button.
Click the FX button at the lower right to change the panel’s display from the Macros to the FX. Select the Part you want in the Part Viewer above, then click the effect slot to view, edit or bypass the loaded effects.

Mix Environment

The Mix tab is where SampleTank 3 gives you the familiar interface of a DAW mixer with console-style channel strips and insert FX. There are three kinds of Channels: Part Channels that contain SampleTank Instruments, Return Channels that are used for global-style effects (like delay and reverb) that can be used for several Instruments simultaneously and the Master Channel where you can perform all your final mastering processing.

The Part Channel

Channels 1-16 represent each of the 16 Parts in SampleTank 3. Each Part can contain a single SampleTank Instrument with a channel strip that gives you mixing board style controls for volume, pan, mute and solo.
Use the 4 send buttons and use the send knob to adjust the send levels from the channel to the 4 Return Channels where you’d typically put multiple instrument effects as opposed to those used on each channel. You can also use the sends to create “groups” for processing with bus processors like compressors, limiters and equalizers.
At the top of each channel strip are the 5 insert effects slots. Click to load any of SampleTank’s 3 effects into any slot – there are no limitations other than that of your computer’s CPU power.
The effect slots are serial: the first slot feeds the second slot, the second slot feeds the third slot and so on. These effects process only their own channel, just the individual Part and its loaded Instrument.
Use an effect slot to view the effect in the FX Panel at the bottom of the window just like on the PLAY page.

The Return Channels

To the right of the 16 Part Channels are the 4 Return Channels. These channels do not contain Instruments but instead are fed a signal from the 4 effect sends on each of the Part Channels. This lets you send signals from any Part Channel to any Return Channel.
Typically, the Return Channels are used for effects fed from multiple instruments like reverbs and delays – for example, you can use just one ConvoRoom reverb for your piano, string pad or synth lead. But you can also use the Return Channels as “groups” to process several Instruments together with bus processors like compressors, limiters and equalizers. The Black 76, White 2A and Model 670 limiters and Tube Program EQ are exceptional for bus processing.
This technique is especially powerful with multiple drum channels. For example, put your kick drums on one channel, snare drums on the next channel and toms on another channel. First process them individually with their insert effects and then equalize and compress them as a group for a punchy and aggressive sound that’s suitable for any genre. Bus processing helps you “glue” multiple elements together by using common processing on the group which adds clarity and punch to your production. Now you can use it right inside your Instrument before it even reaches the DAW. It’s like having 4 additional master channel strips.

The Master Channel

The Master Channel has 5 effect slots just like the Part Channels and Return Channels. Once you have dialed in the effects on your individual Part Channels and used the sends to apply reverbs and delays – plus any bus processing of groups of instruments – you can then master your final output with effects on the Master Channel.
4 of the best analog-modeled mastering effects from IK Multimedia’s T-RackS are included in SampleTank 3: the Black 76, White 2A and Model 670 limiters as well as the Tube Program EQ. All of these effects have been modeled after some of the most famous analog studio outboard gear of all time.

The Edit Environment

Imagine taking any instrument and being able to process it through a synthesizer. Now you can with SampleTank 3’s Edit Page which lets you customize and sculpt your sound through a full array of oscillators, filters and envelopes. It gives you the power to combine SampleTank 3’s sample library with a powerful synthesizer engine. Now you can take a classic guitar, a violin, a perfectly tuned custom snare drum or even a concert grand piano and then radically reshape and transform it to fit any song. You can do this with any sound in SampleTank 3.
The Edit page gives you 3 playback modes suitable for all kinds of source material, 10 classic and modern filters as well as all the LFOs and envelopes you’d expect.

3 Playback Engines – The Power of STRETCH

More engines mean more power. SampleTank 3 features a sampling engine that avoids the problems of more conventional samplers.
Have you ever tried to sample a vocal only to hear it played back in the upper registers with that dreaded unnatural “chipmunk” effect? SampleTank gets around this problem with its two new engines: The first is PS/TS which stands for “Pitch Shift”/”Time Stretch.” This engine works to ensure your drum grooves and kits sound good and punchy – just like they were intended to be heard. The second is STRETCH, which stands for “SampleTank Time REsynthesis TeCHnology.” It’s there to give you realistic sounding vocals, woodwinds, basses and other organic sounds.

Sound Preservation

STRETCH is the engine that gets around that dreaded “chipmunk” effect produced by more traditional samplers. It does this by using an exclusive new re-sampling technology that shifts all aspects of a sound – sound fundamentals and formant components. This results in realistic sounds even in the upper register. Because of this, SampleTank 3 is able to provide extreme realism on Vocals, Woodwinds, Brass and other organic instruments.
Want to import your own sounds? Use the power of STRETCH to build your own instruments. With SampleTank 3 all you need is just one sample.

Like Having a Time Machine

SampleTank 3 includes thousands of ready-to-go loops for Drums, Percussion, and groove creation. And thanks to its advanced pitch-shift/time-stretch re-sampling feature, you’ll have full tempo control while retaining the best possible sound quality. Change groove tempos and sync loops seamlessly

10 Filters

SampleTank 3 features 10 filters with all kinds of resonance and overdrive to help color your sound. With SampleTank 3, you can turn a pure piano into a synthesizer lead or turn a mighty electronic synthesizer lead into a soft and fluffy pad! SampleTank 3 gives you all the filters you need to make the sounds you want: there’s a famous analog transistor ladder filter as well as formant, phaser and multimode filters. SampleTank 3’s included filters let you color your sound any shade you can possibly imagine.
SampleTank 3 also gives you unique effects. One example is filter overdrive which lets you process your sound by soft-clipping the input to the filter section just like classic analog synthesizers of the past.

LFOs that Sync and Swim

Electronic music runs on LFOs. Now with SampleTank 3 you have full control of them. Called “Low Frequency Oscillators,” these oscillators produce an inaudible frequency that can be used to control filter, amplitude and pitch – think the characteristic “wobble” bass of Dubstep or the warbling tones of moody film soundscapes. SampleTank 3 lets you create sounds resembling both and a whole lot more – plus the ability to sync your LFOs to your master tempo. Now you can make everything from machine-driven electro to subtly organic atmospheric sounds. The only limit is your own creativity.
SampleTank 3 also lets you sync each LFO independently or lock everything together with a single click using the Sync button.

The Envelope, Please

Most synthesizers provide a typical attack, decay, sustain, and release envelope section. SampleTank 3 goes far beyond this with an added “Hold” stage that lets you get creative when working with loops. Have you ever wanted to apply an envelope to a loop and have it timed with the start time? SampleTank 3’s Hold stage lets you adjust the envelope to account for this. Try programming that with a traditional ADSR envelope – you simply can’t.

Acoustic Drums

For those who want to pick up a drum and start grooving, SampleTank 3 features 5 all-new multi-velocity acoustic drumkits, each of which has been sampled to take advantage of SampleTank 3’s “round robin” feature with an extensive set of drum elements sampled in multiple ways. For accuracy and realism these kits feature 6 velocity levels and up to 10 round robin samples. All these kits are mapped according to General MIDI standard. On top of these full drumkits, SampleTank 3’s also features separate snares, kicks, toms, hi-hats, ride cymbals and crash cymbals sample sets with hundreds of variations for each element. This allows for extensive custom drum programming.
Should you not be a drummer, over 700 MIDI acoustic drum patterns are there to help. Let SampleTank 3 lay down the groove so you can jam with ready-to-go patterns like Blues, Country, Funky, Metal, Pop, Punk and Rock. All of these patterns include Intro, Verse, Chorus, Fill and Outro so you can build full drum tracks. And to kick things into high gear, all of these drum sounds can be used with SampleTank 3’s new outboard effects derived from T-RackS like the Black 76, the White 2A, Model 670 and Vintage EQ1. With these in the mix you’ll get a punch you can feel, a character you can appreciate and a definition you can hear.

Electronic Drums

If electronic sounds are more your style then check out SampleTank’s 55 electronic drum sets, which cover nearly every modern style imaginable: EDM, Dance, Dirty Sound, East Coast, Electro, Old Skool, R&B, Reggaeton, Soulful House, Tech House and West Coast. From deep and subby kicks to cutting snares and fizzing FX, these kits have you covered. No matter your favorite genre, SampleTank 3’s fresh and powerful sounds will help you own the dancefloor. Take charge and program your own beats or take advantage of each style’s pre-made patterns for a total of over 500 MIDI patterns.

Bass

It features 11 new electric and acoustic bass instruments, each of which has been sampled for accuracy and precision. Browse the library and you’ll find a comprehensive selection of bass instruments all with multiple velocities and articulations – including finger, pick, slap, pull and noise as well as more complicated techniques like harmonic effects and slides. There are 9 electric basses and two jazz double bass.

Synth Bass

For deeper sounds, SampleTank 3 also includes 91 synth bass sample sets. Each sampled from iconic analog synthesizers famous for their warm and punchy bass tones. Whether you want a pulse, a saw, a growl or something more distorted, these basses have a character that will make your tracks stand out from the rest. MIDI patterns are included that match with the Electronic drums. Now you can build entire grooves in any style.

Acoustic Guitar

SampleTank 3 features 6 different acoustic guitars which have been sampled to cover all possible styles and tones. These include 4 high-end American-made steel-string guitars (including one 12-string), one Italian classical, and 1 vintage Brazilian Bossa Nova guitar.

IK Multimedia Orchestral Percussion – Virtual Instrument for Miroslav Philharmonik 2 & SampleTank 3 (Download)

Available for download, Orchestral Percussion from IK Multimedia is a virtual instrument suitable for use with SampleTank 3 and Mirsoslav Philharmonik 2. It provides the sampled sounds of traditional orchestral percussion, aiming for realism in timbre and execution. Instruments supplied include dynamic timpani, piatti cymbals, snare drums with multiple articulations, a gran cassa orchestral bass drum, and more. The download itself comprises 3GB of sounds, giving you 23 playable instruments and 25 instrumental loops in a total package of 1,822 samples.

All the instruments have been recorded using an array of Neumann microphones in a variety of placements. Multiple round-robin samples have been obtained to avoid the artificial “machine gun effect” that often plagues sampled instruments. With the help of famed percussionist Greg Ellis, the instruments have been played and sampled at multiple velocities, so that their various nuances might be better communicated. To get you started in implementing rhythmic figures, 100 MIDI patterns and 400 audio loops have been included. These figures comprise rolls, crescendos, and more; they can be utilized in the host software or dragged into your DAW’s timelines for editing.

Please note: to run this software, you must have a licensed copy of SampleTank 3 or Miroslav Philharmonik 2.

IK Multimedia American Acoustic – SampleTank 3 Virtual Instrument (Download)

American Acoustic from IK Multimedia is a virtual instrument that can function standalone or as a plug-in instrument when loaded into the company’s free SampleTank Custom Shop, or as a loaded instrument in SampleTank 3 or SE workstations. It features a vintage Martin D28 with a spruce top and mahogany neck, recorded using a clean, modern pairing of a Schoeps CMC small diaphragm condenser microphone with a Prism Orpheus preamp/interface.

The instrument was recorded many times to cover every method of playing, from flatpicking, fingerstyle, strumming and beyond, along with additional effects like slides and harmonics. The actual notes themselves were performed in a very specific way, so that when translated to the keyboard or in MIDI patterns, it still sounds like an acoustic guitar played by a guitarist. When combined with other instruments, the American Acoustic is a good fit for pop, rock, folk, country, hip-hop, R&B, and even EDM.

IK Multimedia Miroslav Philharmonik 2 – Virtual Instrument Collection (Full Version, Download)

Available as an electronic download, this full version of IK Multimedia Miroslav Philharmonik 2 is a virtual instrument collection comprising orchestral sounds produced and recorded by Miroslav Vitous, an upright bassist of some renown. Each sound was recorded at CNSO Studios in Prague, and the sum total of this sample library is over 58GB, providing you with a wealth of high-definition samples in 24-bit / 96 kHz resolution. This version gives you over 2700 individual instruments, including the complete original library of Mirsolav Philharmonik.

Mirsolav Philharmonik 2 allows you to program many different articulations straight from the keyboard, so you can switch on the fly between detache, staccato, legato, and more when playing a violin, for example. Likewise, mallet instruments have been recorded with various sizes of mallets to allow you more freedom in timbre selection. Eight macro controls, the nature of which change depending on the instrument loaded, are provided, as are 34 effects from SampleTank 3 and four T-RackS mastering modules, giving you tonal flexibility in the mixing process. Indeed, should you decide to mix your orchestral sound within this software, you can do so via the multichannel, DAW-like interface, which offers 16 tracks, five insert effects per channel, four stereo effect sends per channel, four stereo effect returns with five insert effects each, and a master channel also with five insert effects.

This software is based on SampleTank 3 technology, and as such, it can be integrated as an instrument collection within SampleTank 3. However, you can use it in standalone mode as well and of course as a plug-in within many DAWs. The virtual instrument is compatible with Mac and Windows platforms, and operates in AU, VST, or AAX formats.
