SampleTank CS

I am a keyboard player, and I frequently use SampleTank on an iPhone at gigs, controlled by a Korg microKey Air. The sounds are generally good—not great, but adequate for playing in a band context. (Poor selection of brass section sounds, and the synth leads are boring.) I may use a few sounds from the app within the same song, so I rely on Multis, and I adore the way the app lets you include up to 8 sounds at a time, mapped across the range of notes so flexibly. If you only use 8 or fewer sounds in a show (or in a set) you can set them all up with all sorts of details regarding level and effects amounts, etc, each assigned to a pad on the screen. But that’s where one of the biggest issues is: the response to the pads is really awful. I’ve used the app on several different devices and when you tap a pad to turn that sound on or off, it’s often a toss-up as to whether the tap will work. The touchscreen on iOS devices is really quite amazing, but the pads in this app feel like I’m tapping the screen on my Korg Krome workstation, which is staggeringly awful. Another big letdown is the lack of sampling. I mean, the name of the app is SampleTank, but you can’t add any of your own samples. One might think that at least a very basic ability to add a file from various sources like the iTunes library, mic, or another app and then trim it and assign it to pad in a Multi is not too much to ask. Overall, I do like the app for performing with bands, although I only use it for “secondary” sounds, like pads or organs. I hope IK continue developing and improving it, and add some simple sampling capabilities.

This software and sound pack came with an irig keyboard I bought. I like a lot of the string and piano sounds. They’re clear and accurate. However, the experience has some problems. There’s a clunky recorder function in the upper right corner that never works quite right, and only highlights the fact that there isn’t audio units support to record more comfortably in a different DAW. Hopefully, this will be in a future update Also, I don’t like the “nickel and dime” in app purchase model. It’s not offensive with nag screens, but I just want to play the instruments I have, not look at things I don’t want or need

Hi, ive been using sampletank for months now. Ive invested alot of money into it you guys have awesome libraries that help me creatively take the next step and i couldn't be more thankful! Recently i updated my Iphone 7. And after the newest update, Sampletank automatically crashes whenever i try and adjust the “attack and release & inst volume & pan etc” knobs. Ive tried uninstalling it, changing instrument packs. Restarting my phone etc... and no solution. Ive sent 3 emails to your support team and its been a little over a week since i sent them and still have no reply. Please, i expect to buy new things on sampletank very very soon. But i just cant until i know that this solution can be fixed!
