Powerful, intuitive tools for every step of your musical journey
 
Play
Play is comprised of three main pages.   Parts, Layers, and Mixer are accessed using the buttons on the top left of the screen.
 
Parts
A newly designed Parts Panel makes layering sound easier than ever, opening up the possibility of total sound design freedom. Here you can adjust each of your sounds from Volume, to Pan, Mute, Solo, and more, all from a single screen. Easily test and swap layers of your sound or track, and save the combinations when you find one that suits you the most. You can also set the MIDI Channel, Transpose, and Player/Loop status of each selected part.
 
Within each of the sub panels (Edit, Effects, and Player) located at the bottom of the screen, you have the option to dig even deeper into each individual part.
 
Edit Panel
Switch between SampleTank’s 4 different HD sampling engines, including the proprietary STRETCH algorithm, to ensure the most natural sound.
For more fine-tuning, you can choose from 16 different filters and adjust every parameter. Edit envelopes, oscillators, portamento, polyphony, and much more.
 
Effects
Choose up to 5 of our 70 different effects included on SampleTank 4. Each effect slot as well as the entire effects chain can be bypassed, locked or saved as a preset. Choose effects ranging from different Amps, Distortion, Dynamics/EQ, Modulation, Reverb, Delay, and Filter.
 
Player
4 powerful independent generators and players are included to help you create the perfect, arpeggios, guitar strums, MIDI patterns, and loops.
 
Layers
Layering lets you create very rich and complex sounds and textures. The addition of the Layers panel takes this feature to the next level. Add layers by pitch range to pair powerful low-end bass with delicate upper-register melodies in a single set of instruments. Further, you can layer sounds by velocity, so some sounds only trigger when playing softly and others only at the highest intensities. You’ll never believe how well you can control an entire symphonic orchestra of sounds from just one keyboard until you experiment with SampleTank 4’s layering.
 
Mix
SampleTank has always made it easy to layer sounds, whether your goal is to create an entire composition with just a single plug-in, or to combine sounds into one larger instrument. The new Mixer pages in SampleTank 4 are designed for the easiest and most natural workflow, to achieve the best mix in the least amount of time.
What might usually take dozens of plug-ins can all be accomplished right inside SampleTank 4.
 
Single Interface Control
Access all onboard controls and effects in a single interface, making mixing as fast and user-friendly as ever. You can even browse sounds from this window! You’ll never feel the need to click back to your DAW because all the tools you need are provided right in SampleTank 4.
 
Effects
With 70 high-quality, crisp, and beautifully designed effects, SampleTank puts you in complete control of your sound. This level of processing usually requires a deep dive into your DAW, but SampleTank 4 is designed to be the most user-friendly program of its caliber to get the sound instantly. Each individual effect slot can be bypassed, locked, or saved as a preset. That way you can keep your favorite settings to return to later. You can also save a series of effects as a chain to use throughout all of your different projects.
 
70 effects ranging from Amps, Distortions, Dynamics and EQ, Modulation, Reverb and Delay, and Filters are all at your control with a simple drag and drop. SampleTank 4 also includes more creative effects, like PianoLid, Wah 47, Tone Control, Phonograph, Lo-Fi, and Slicer.
