SampleTank for Positive User Reviews
✓ The only oneThis is the only good sample bank I have found on iOS and I applaud ik for it, and hope they continue to add banks and improve the app. I have tons of sample sound banks on my pc but it's much quicker and more inspiring to use an ipad app to look for sounds, so I'm excited about this app..Version: 1.7.1
✓ SampleTank it’s osomCan’t wait to buy iPad on payday.Version: 2.0.10
✓ Mainstage for iPad!!I use the iPad Pro as my main music device for playing live - I run OnSong and Sampletank at the same time. Sampletank is almost perfect as a live playing instrument - the Live environment is exceptionally intuitive and versatile with layering of up to 8 instruments, midi implementation, separate effects, levels and splits on the keyboard. In addition it will run in the background, which several other ‘rivals’ don’t seem to do, which means I can have it up and running while using a chart app like OnSong on the front end at the same time. I would recommend this app to anyone who is using a keyboard for playing live. Totally satisfied..Version: 2.0.11
✓ New sampletankPlease bring us a new sampletank 2024! ! (:.Version: 2.0.11
✓ Worth having in your collection!Wanted to mention I really like the fact they wasted no time in giving SampleTank iPhone 5s screen size support (there's still many apps in my collection that don't). Also a major plus is that IK Multimedia have made SampleTank an 'iTunes+' App, which is for BOTH iPhone AND iPad. This is absolutely an essential requirement and is badly needed for all the other IK Multimedia apps which unfortunately require one to purchase them TWICE and then the IAP's TWICE over in order to run on iPhone and iPad - something that is outrageous and a real con in my opinion and is the reason that I haven't purchased the likes of Amplitude and some others over the years (yes years) despite wanting too! In fact I did recently make a big mistake and purchased the iGrand Piano app rather foolishly without checking first thinking it was like SampleTank, i.e. a '+' app but then realising after that it is not. Please make other IK Multimedia apps '+' for BOTH iPhone and iPad and then you might find over time that buyers/users are much happier. Lastly although admittedly SampleTank is a sample player/synth and maybe I'm missing something, but I still can't help longing for some kind of integrated editable sequencer engines for triggering those wonderful single instrument samples and patterns. This being 'piano-roll/MIDI editing' capability for creating perfect in-time melodies/riffs/tune parts, a killer arpeggiator generator and programable pattern sequencer for drum loops and other stuff; all contained within the app as well as tweaking 'separate' copies of preset ones to keep default patterns intact. I know this is probably asking much and is heading in the direction of a mobile DAW app, but maybe they could be implemented with just their raw basic features for getting by and then over time could be enhanced. Any chance of? I'd even pay for these features as IAP because I'm happier with this being an iTunes+ app..Version: 1.7.2
✓ Sounds superbCombine SampleTank with Genome for a multitimbral virtual midi experience. Sensational. This app is chock full of great sounds and can only get better with future updates and an iPad version. Update - a few years on and this app is significantly upgraded to ST2 which is incredible. Much improved interface, functionality and MIDI control including learn. The Pro pack sounds stunning as (for me) do Miroslav, Moog, Sonik Synth and Future Synth IAP's. So cool to stack several sounds and trigger in Live Mode with splits and layers. Love it :).Version: 2.0.1
✓ So much funWhy are there reviews 8 years old and even 3 years old. Sample tank has been updated so many times since then. How is anyone trying to get an idea if the app is worth getting when they read old reviews that are not relevant. Come on apple, you are doing well enough to have a proper rating system. Ratings are for customers and developers. It's not to show ratings out of date since several years. It's absurd. Sampletank is great. I read a bad review complaining about having to update his iPad. Hey buddy. The price of this app is almost free for what you get. Instead of using outdated iPads and apps like this, go buy all the hardware necessary to make a fraction of these sounds and then complain again about upgrade prices. You are working with electronic music. If you don't want to upgrade ever then stop updating your apps. You want it all for free, even the huge improvements in technology. Good luck in life trying to live only on freebies. I get so annoyed at complaints about having to spend money. Try to develop apps and tell me it should be free forever including updates and all apps should work on every old device no matter the improvements. Thinking is required in life. Try it and you will see a change in realizing what is actually going on around you instead of being in a fantasy of what you would like to be happening..Version: 2.0.11
✓ What have they done to what was already a bad interface?This thing is so infested with adware it is sickening. Sound updates are good, but docked a star for the confusion with the sound options. It feels like a money trap. Get that crap out of there, and the respect for the app might grow among the hardcore users of iOS music production software. They see through it, and it has really jaded them to this developer. Atone, lol..Version: 2.0.0
✓ UpdateThe latest update does nothing to change the fact that it won't start up on my iPad 1 fix this please.Version: 1.7.1
✓ Really Like ItI’ve been using SampleTank since it first dropped I’m 2001 and purchased the app when it was first available for iOS. It’s been one of m,y favorite apps for nearly 20 years. I would love to see AU3 support and expanded multi timber to 16 channels..Version: 2.0.11
✓ Great appFantastic app with very high quality samples. Very impressed considering the price. Great job to ik multimedia for really embracing the platform. Only wish the app has assignable controls so the volume control on my midi keyboard worked with the app. I'm told they will be adding this to a future release..Version: 1.1
✓ Core midi pleaseLove the app. Cant wait to be able to sync it up via ore midi/ virtual midi between apps. The sounds are great.Version: 1.2
✓ Fantastic App(including the iRig MIDI)The app and iRig MIDI have worked flawlessly. I needed this for a gig, and hooked it up to an old Roland A-30...worked immediately without a hitch...bravo!.Version: 1.7.2
✓ Great updateThe new version improves the app in so many ways. Great sounds and worth the price for the extra packs..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Good app with lots of instrument possibilitiesThis a good app giving a wide range of decent sounding instruments. They might not convince virtuoso players but are good enough for our background / minor instruments and instruments we cannot play directly, e.g. violin, cello, trombone, trumpet and flute. The app is very resource intensive and so doesn’t play well when recording to GB via IAA or Audiobus on old hardware (iPad 2) so we use it as a standalone app and push the audio to a mixer / interface for recording. Use on iOS 9.3 and 12. Use it constantly for transcribing / developing songs. Overall, it might be expensive but we use it all the time and have forked out for two copies it is so good..Version: 2.0.11
✓ Fantastic Library!From guitars, to orchestras, pianos, synths, percussion, voices. Links nicely with Cubasis, both midi and audio, and Audiobus. Lots of patterns associated with the sounds. Finally, they fixed the ios 12 bugs..Version: 2.0.11
✓ Works great on iPad ProLooks like it needs more resources to run than earlier iPads provide. I got the paid for version for free on offer. It runs great, no crashes, sounds seem ok quality. Useful addition to my audio collection..Version: 1.8.5
✓ SwitchHave you considered revisiting and making this AUv compatible? Would love to use it..Version: 2.0.11
✓ Looking for Keyboard sounds? This app is #1 by far!Before SampleTank I was using high end hardware Keyboard/Workstation/Synth/Samplers . Now with a basic $99 midi controller and this Application my life has changed. The sounds are fantastic, rivals all current keyboards on the market, and the expansions are phenomenal. If you are a keyboard player and looking for something to work with live or in studio out of the iPad this is where you need to start. There are similar apps, but most are one trick ponies compared to SampleTank. Sure there are great piano apps, synth apps, organ etc etc, this app covers it all and does it very very well. Create layers/Splits that are phenomenal sounding in any setting. SampleTank puts “Module” to shame on EVERY level. My reason for not giving the 5th star is because OS updates can sometimes cause major problems with functionality, not too long ago the app was unusable for about a month due to incompatibility with new updates from Apple. However once corrected the app is now better than ever. IK you have created an amazing product here, my only request is you keep it a little more up to date for those of us who depend on it. Keep the awesome work..Version: 2.0.11
✓ Important App!This is a great sounding app of multi sampled instruments. I have invested a lot in it. Hope to see it as an Audio Unit instrument soon. Interapp Audio has been extremely useful..Version: 2.0.11
✓ Awesome for iPads!I was upset buying this app initially because it was only sized for iphone. This update gave the layout an overhaul for ipad and it rocks. Looks amazing so far. I wasn't really using it much before because the iPhone only layout was awkward. The sounds are great, and with the new design I think I'll be loving this. Glad I put the money down initially to keep the app moving forward. I no longer have any buyers remorse because of this amazing update. Thank you!!!!!!.Version: 1.1
✓ AUv3 Update Needed Desperately!The quality of the sound has increased amazingly after this update. Now 8 sound multitimbral, which means you can drive up to eight layered midi tracks all at once giving you sonic power of unheard of quality right on your iPad or even the iPhone. I am using this sound module with MidiBand 3.1 and I'm creating incredible backing tracks in minutes not hours. All because of the amazing sonic power IK multimedia has provided to us. For those on the fence, fear no more, this is it! I missed out on the sale by two hours, although it was still 10pm where I am at, It still didn't go through, but I will not miss out next time. For now the stock sounds are doing just fine. I really love the drums and electric and acoustic guitar sounds now, they just have so much more realism than ever before. With Midiband 3.1, i'm able to drive up to 16 midi tracks all at once, but with 8 that is all i really need for now. Bass, drums, pads, acoustics, electric guitars, all in there and more. I can't wait to see what else is in store for this amazing app, but for now, get it! Heck you can even try it for free! 5 stars worth IMHO!! Please update to AUv3 and will put this over the top! I highly recommend this app! MM4C.Version: 2.0.8
✓ FantasticLove this app. My only complaint with it is that recording/rerecording parts is clunky. I'd like the option to overdub or correct/rerecord sections while its playing back... So I can use this in a Live environment. Currently you have to stop before making corrections. Would love it to be otherwise. Similar to how Tabletop does it. If that's added then I'll buy the addons! Still deserves a five star rating while I wait..Version: 1.3
✓ Need updateI love this app. Please make support auv3.Version: 2.0.11
✓ ReviewThis software is wonderful and so are the sounds, very realistic-sounding! The Rhodes sounds are great and easy to use!.Version: 1.3
✓ You have to use midi controller I promise it will speed up your flow awesome sounds.Use a midi controller it helps got some best sounds can’t find any were else.Version: 2.0.11
✓ Super handyIf u can afford it, get the Moog pack... Nice sounds there.Version: 1.7.1
✓ Great app but hate add pop upI am pleased with the samples in this app there very good. But they keep having an ad for their new product popping up and it is hard to get rid of you press the X and it goes to the website for their new app. After about 3 or 4 times of pressing on the X it finally stops going to their website. I paid to much for this app to have an add pop up. I will never buy anymore of there products if there going to continue to bombard me with new product ads..Version: 2.0.9
✓ SampleTank is good, needs some housekeepingI wanted a sampler on my idevice similar to what I had on my PC. Decided to use this app and I have found it useful to create ideas for songs via its sequencing capabilities, which in my opinion, they are not needed now, since the app can be used via Audiobus or IAA with more capable sequencers. I really like that there are plenty of useful patches to use, decent basic effects, pads, the use of external MIDI devices (not just the iRig) plus the ability to save the MIDI files, or audio files is a plus. So, why not 5-stars? Well, the annoyance of the program asking me to buy/register whatever new product IK is selling and that I will not buy really bothers me. If I want to buy it I will, do not remind me everytime I open the app. Also, I think it is time for you to do some house cleaning as there are, may I dare say, too many sounds!!! Ok, this is my fix, it is time for the app to have a favorite sounds section in each of the sound categories. For example, in the Drums section, you can select the kits that you like the most and those selected as favorites will be shown at the top of the respective category. That way you do not need to navigate the extensive catalog of sounds. For example, finding your favorite synth patch is a nightmare as there are many, especially with the added Moog expansion. Ok, that is it, great sampler, capable of interacting with other apps, somewhat annoying popups, with a real need of organization..Version: 1.7.1
✓ Sample tankApres avoir reussi a faire fonctionner mon roland a800 pro controlleur je suis tres satisfait de Sampletank je m'en sert comme stand alone Bazou 72.Version: 1.7.2
✓ Awesome!Best beat making app in app store, i bought rebirth for ipad, garageband, but sampletank is the best, create beats in secondes! For professionnal dj or just for fun. I will also buy the all sound bank, its 40$ + 20$ ( initial app) and i will have everything i want! Plus, you can plug your keyboard via midi to play songs in real time!! Its worth every penny!.Version: 1.1
✓ Last star will come with user definable pitch bend range!I use this with Fishman Tripleplay and MIDIflow to manage string routings to ST in multi mode. I’ve bought a few packs and there are some great sounds, especially Rhodes and the Pro bass pack is excellent but struggling to get rich thick analog pad. Interface needs a little learning but makes sense when you know and everything you need to access is usually only one press away. But my HUGE bug bear is the 2+- PBR - it’s really restricting for midi guitarists. Please please PLEASE add user definable PBR to 12+- and Ill happily give 5th star :-).Version: 2.0.11
✓ Version 1.1 is awesomeNow that the ipad version is out and more sounds and patterns are available, this app really rocks.Some of the sweetest sounds you'll find on an IOS app..Version: 1.1
✓ ExcellentGreat Sounding App and with AudioBus now, SampleTank going to the next level as being one of the best iOS App. IK keep up the good works and maybe you could give SampleTank Registered Users additional bonus sounds..Version: 1.5
✓ USE IT LIVE ON STAGE!Just to update from my last review ... I use SampleTank live on stage. I use a nord electro 3HP which doesn't layer so I use the Sample Tank app for pad sounds (via the Alesis IO DOCK) and all is good in the on stage world :).Version: 1.2
✓ Oh yeah!Really cool! Beat making at its beastly best!.Version: 1.7.2
✓ Awesome app!The orchestral instruments are unmatched in iOS. I am with everyone else when they request that SampleTank be more friendly with DAWs like Auria Pro and Cubasis. I would also love to see you come out with some better quality choir samples. Keep up the good work!.Version: 2.0.9
✓ Huge range of good quality sounds, but...The new SampleTank 2 interface is a little more intuitive. However, I prefer Korg's Module app for its beautiful graphics, integrated "Search for Bluetooth Midi input", its mono/stereo output option, and because the Store page gives more information on what is on offer - like how big the sample library is, and a list of which instruments it contains, and more demo clips. I also wish SampleTank had the option to choose which USB channels to use for audio output, like Loopy HD and GarageBand have. The app icon needs a refresh..Version: 2.0.0
✓ Tonewood ampThe sampletank is really awesome tools for my Tonewood amp. But recently i have a hard time connecting it to the TWA..Version: 2.0.11
