Features

Sounds

The reason SampleTank has remained an industry standard after all these years is due to its superior sound quality, extensive variety and ease of use. With its easy-to-use interface, all the sounds you need are just a click away.

SampleTank 3 pushes this even further by giving you one of the widest selections of quality sounds that stretch across every possible category. Not so with competing products, which often provide just one set of instrument samples - their additional "instruments" are generally just alternate programmings of the same worn-out sounds hidden behind different effects, filters and envelopes. Instead, SampleTank 3 provides multiple sample sets in each category which then have various programming variations under each unique instrument.

This puts SampleTank 3's library - with its unparalled depth and variety on a much higher level than any other similar instrument on the market today.
