Major new upgrade from IK Multimedia 06/08/03

After we saw IK at this years MESSE, we were treated to an sneak preview of IK Multimedia's SampleTank 2, heralded as a big leap forward from their already poplular SampleTank Sample software sound module.

According to the folks at IK, "SampleTank(R) 2 has been completely redesigned to create the most advanced sample based sound workstation ever made: a unique, powerful plug-in with a wide range of exclusive, revolutionary features that set it apart from other samplers or sound modules, a giant step in sampling technology."

And indeed, we've been hearing good things from those who know, including a major sample library developer.

What makes SampleTank(R) 2 so special? Here's the short list:

3 synth engines: exclusive STRETCH(tm) (SampleTank Time REsynthesys TeCHnology) and pitch-shift/time-stretch synthesis in addition to traditional resampling synthesis.

Lightning fast access to the richest, widest , most realistic sounds ever produced by software or hardware instruments

Thousands of native sounds already available, plus the ability to import unlimited WAV, AIFF, SDII, AKAI(R), and SAMPLECELL(R) files

More than 30 built-in award-winning effects

16 multitimbral layerable parts

Full synth-sampler engine control

Zone editing, loop sync, portamento, keywords search, and loads more
