SampleTank is the result of more than a decade of innovation
Originally released in 2001, SampleTank was the first plug-in to offer multi-part sampled sound with integrated effects. Created in collaboration with Sonic Reality, SampleTank proved immensely popular, providing DAW-based musicians with the ability to play sampled musical instruments via MIDI with built-in effects. SampleTank 2 hit the industry in 2003, carrying the torch as the industry-standard sound workstation thanks to its quality sounds, ease of use, and innovative features. Now, building on the features of its predecessors, SampleTank MAX is here to become a staple piece in your studio's sonic arsenal.Massive quantity of content provides plenty of creative options
