The GUI is now resizable which is great because the controls and parameters have often been a bit tiny. The sound editing was never the focus of SampleTank but there’s a decent amount there if you want to tweak your sounds. There’s an awful lot of sounds in here and I hope IK has beefed up the browser and filter options to make navigating this vast list comprehensible.

There’s a huge acoustic piano, a range of electric pianos, a massive collection of synthesizer sounds, new brass and string sections and drum kits galore.

Acoustic instruments have been captured with multiple articulations and round-robins for as authentic a performance as they can manage. The new content comes from record sessions in cities across the world and also in their new custom-built studio in Italy. You’ll probably need to buy a new hard disk just for this. I think that’s 5 times the size of the previous version.

This new version now comes with 250GB of sound library filling the needs of 8,000 presets.
