SampleTank is an advanced software utility that enables professionals to compose and mix music. It can be used as a standalone tool or plugin, and it contains an extensive library with high-quality sound samples, three synthesizing engines, many built-in DSP effects, and so on.

The complete package includes three SampleTank plug-ins: AAX, VST, and Audio Units. Any of these components can be excluded from the installation. At the first program startup, it is necessary to configure settings related to the instrument when it comes to the path and mode (high quality or high performance).

This panel can be hidden from future runs. Also, you can set audio midi options regarding audio device and driver, routing, sample rate, and buffer size. There are ample customizing options, as you can add effects and a lot of outputs. The range of features makes it a professional grade tool.

The interface looks professional and provides buttons for all effects and settings directly in the main frame. When it comes to mixing audio, it is possible to adjust the pitch, low and high gain, mid frequency, range, tempo, and many others. The previous session can be set to reload on startup.

You can import audio files with the WAV, AIFF, and SDII extensions, as well as take advantage of the three synth engines available: STRETCH, polyphonic pitch-shift, and resampling.

We have not come across any stability issues in our tests since the application did not hang, crash or pop up error messages. It has a good response time, yet it requires a decent amount of CPU and RAM, and it will put a strain on computer performance. SampleTank comes loaded with numerous sound samples and effects to help users put together high-quality musical compositions.
