In the future, IK Multimedia has already announced its plans for a SampleTank Editor. This means it can be used as a standalone application, or loaded up in your DAW as a plugin. SampleTank 4 CS works on both Mac and PC, and is available in VST/AU/AAX versions. This opens doors to disk streaming, FX sends, a master bus, four groove players, and a full mixer with 70 effects. Included as well, is a library of 200 MIDI grooves as well as the full SampleTank 4 engine. Although it is boiled down, its 50 virtual instrument list and sample library were meticulously chosen to cover the basics of all genres. SampleTank 4 CS is pretty stripped down compared to the full, paid option, but it definitely provides users a taste of the full library, and could help them attract future potential buyers. While not necessarily announced because of the seclusion period, it certainly is something that we could all use while we are stuck indoors.

This is now available as a free, stripped down option to its standard SampleTank software, and normally running at $300. Recently, the company launched its SampleTank 4 Custom Shop (CS), which includes over 4GB of sounds and samples to work with. In yet another development amidst the isolation we’re all experiencing with COVID-19 virus running about, IK Multimedia has new software to aid our creative endeavors.
