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.
Samplepad pro sound pack faulty
I loaded the pro sound pack at great cost but it doesn't function properly. It is non responsive and uninstalls itself every time that I restart the app.
Ripped off
Can't get my old sample tank back and can't use the new 2.0 !! Come on guys it's a necessary app for me and I'll want a replacement now that does the same sort of job only can cope with the older iPad.
Still Can't Download Again After Update... Ripped Off!
The warning not to delete the app would have been beneficial on the first update of the app.
I now can't download the app after trying to do a clean install on my iPad2 since you didn't bother to warn customers the first time around!
Still feeling a bit ripped off!
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.
Core midi please
Love the app. Cant wait to be able to sync it up via ore midi/ virtual midi between apps. The sounds are great
Its good but...
This app is good nice sound studio quality. There is a free version and full version. I paid for full version then i realized you have to fkn pay extta to get more sounds.. This is rigged. If i knew i would have got the free version.. Very expensive. You pay 20 for app then add other packs its going to cost a fortune. Its a ipad not a damn imac......
So little for so much
The full version seems more like a demo, not many sounds. You get some extra if you have there midi kit :-/ or you can buy the the lot - in app - for $40. Yer, right.
The edit options are very limited as well, and the filter step badly!
The few sound you get are usable...
Ummm, yer, save your money.
