Lost Money

Downloaded the Sampletank Pro for $65.. and I didnt get any new sounds added in my app. All the sounds are still greyed out. The company is terrible with support, you can’t even reach anyone to get this issue resolved.

Not usable anymore - abandonware!

IAA(inter-app-audio) has been phased out. You can’t use the sounds in Logic Pro.

Had high hopes. 🤷‍♂️ Good but needs work.

I had high hopes for this app when I purchased it years ago. I’ve used it live a few times but always felt a little limited on the polyphony. It has pretty good sounds. I recently purchased more in app sounds. The app is good for using one sound at a time and maybe the drum samples but it will drop notes when you play. I had some issues in live mode with stuck notes when enabling and disabling sounds from a set. Over the years I’ve tried to in corporate it with other apps but I think it’s better to choose it for a drum track or an instrument and not both. Overall it is more stable than some of the other apps I’ve used. Going forward I’ve decided to try to spend money on auv3 apps from reputable developers. It can be a challenge trying to go back and forth between apps running in the background. I have the IK Total studio on my laptop. Seeing this app has not really been updated in a long time it’s hard to suggest investing a lot of money in it. I kind of thought it would be a big difference when I purchased the other sounds recently but think it was not a good idea after spending more time with it lately I wish I had put that towards more gear or other auv3.

Have you considered revisiting and making this AUv compatible? Would love to use it.

Dead in the water

Mac Dramastic on

This app had so much potential and it seems they just let it fade to obscurity when it could’ve been the best sounds module app on iOS! The sounds are awesome! But unless you’re just a live keyboard performer looking for a library of sounds to choose from, this app is a headache. Not integration with other iOS music apps through the typical protocols. No possible way to mix out instrument tracks…relatively expensive sound packs! If they simply made an AUV3 update that would put this app on par with other sound module apps. But without it…it just makes this a waste of storage as I can implement it in ANY of my current projects. What a waste of possibilities!

Need update

ar0_las3 on

I love this app. Please make support auv3

Shame

Do you (some reviewers before me) really believe what you’re saying? That “it sounds fantastic”? Is it a joke? I give some credit (hence the one star) for IK Multimedia for trying. But the quality is so low, I almost felt nauseated after I purchased it and played the sounds for about 5 minutes. Have you ever heard good quality and well balanced sampled instruments? Like a Korg Kronos or a Yamaha Motif XF or even a Roland Fantom X? The workstations of yesteryears? We are talking about 10-15 years old models, right? This ST app is a miserable mistake of the developer or an ugly insult to any serious musician, ladies and gentlemen. Did you hear the “Grand piano” patch? One sample per every fifth? Or octave, and then the sustain loops? And maybe two velocity layers of samples at the very max? I’m not even a pianist, I just fool around with synths, but that, my friends, is unacceptable in 2021. I get it that it costs only $25, but there are excellent sounding apps out there (D1, FM1, etc.) for less. Well, they are not aiming to be multitimbral romplers, as ST is, though! The only reason I gave it a shot in spite the mixed reviews and 2.8 rating (thanks for the honesty of some guys!) was that hardware modules are not available anymore. And I prefer hardware. Maybe the Roland Integra 7. It’s $1,800, but it is the real deal, so I’m pulling the trigger. Plus, I had one before, so I know what I’m getting. But this app, once again, made me upset. Not about wasting $25, but about how much lower can we set the bar in an effort to “satisfy” everyone and make this utter garbage available and affordable for young and maybe otherwise totally talented users. Shame, shame, shame …
