This update brings a few new features such as more ENV 3 destinations and a few more randomizers, plus some fixes especially when randomizing presets which could cause the occasional sound blow out. There is also a new bank of 32 presets.
Ballistic Drum Kits provides a large collection of mostly Bread and Butter Drum Kits all of which can be easily interchanged for quickly transforming a playing drum pattern. They are quite heavy kits which are especially well suited to Hip Hop, Trip Hop & R n B, all the collection is diverse enough to be useful to any sampletank user . There aren’t very many Electronic Drum Kits for Sampletank, and so this Tank attempts to bridge the gap, at least another 2 complimentary collections will be released which will provide more drum kits, instrument kits designed for layering, and percussion kits.
This update brings a new bank of 128 sounds of mainly traditional Analogue type Leads and Basses with minimal effects. There is also a dedicated version called Mesh Lead which allows loading this sound set into your host much more easily than loading an fxb. There are also a few new features, such as Bass Cut, Assignable Destination for Envelope 3, and the option to send Oscillator 3 to the filter cutoff for some interesting modulation effects.
The idea behind Mesh was to create a Virtual Analogue mono synth in the style of the Minimoog with the addition of 5 Tempo based LFOs for exploring rhythmic potential. In comparison to previous Homegrown Synths, Mesh is very simple using 3 Oscillators and a Sub Oscillator to shape the sound, a single oversampled Low Pass Moog style filter, and 3 Envelopes. The LFOs can modulate most parameters, and there are several quantized pitch destinations to enable complex one finger sequences to be constructed. Add to this a compact effects section comprising of a Modulator, a Delay and SoundScaper and finally an Arpeggiator which all adds up to a simple lightweight sonic playground.
This is the first Collection released for Sampletank with more planned. Vintage Synths is a huge collection based on the Akai SG01v Vintage Synth Module and adds 98 parent multi-sampled instruments and 350+ child presets using the full power of the sampletank engine. All instruments use 9 multi-samples for smooth alias free transitions and are sampled at 24bit 48khz giving plenty of headroom.
Free VST plug-in designed for controlling a hardware multitimbral module from a single place. It’s more useful in some hosts than others due to the way midi output can be routed from a plug-in. It was built with Reaper in mind and works very well in there.
After rigorous development and beta testing v1 of Vortex is now officially released. Vortex is a multitimbral groove machine designed with performance in mind.
