SampleTank 2.1 is the long awaited update to the powerful SampleTank 2 sample workstation. Featuring many enhancements, SampleTank 2.1 has once again raised the standard for multi-channel sample based software instruments. The new synth engine of SampleTank 2.1 has greatly expanded its control and capabilities.Enhanced Stretch engine The Stretch (SampleTank Time Re-synthesis Technology) synth engine in SampleTank 2.1 has been greatly enhanced to allow more creative flexibility with a wider variety of samples. There are now two Stretch algorithms, Note and Phrase. These two separate Stretch modes make it possible to apply the Stretch synth engine to a wider variety of sounds.The Note Stretch mode is used for single note instruments such as vocals, organs, flutes, and other pitched instruments that are played traditionally on a keyboard.The Phrase Stretch mode is used for Looped or Phrase based instruments. This mode is better suited for sounds that have changes in pitch and rhythmic patterns within an individual note.In addition to the two Stretch modes, a Harm Pres (harmonic preservation grade) control has been added to the Stretch engine. This control works in both NOTE and Phrase modes. This feature allows you to control the preservation of the harmonic overtones of a sound when using Stretch. This makes it possible to fine tune Stretch for different types of instruments, such as vocals or a tone-wheel organ.Improved Pitch-Shift/Time-Stretch Control The Pitch-Shift/Time-Stretch function allows you to sync any loop to the sequencer tempo and to sync various loops together with a single click! Slow the tempo of loops down to zero without affecting the pitch or change the pitch of your loop in real time without changing its tempo. Play synchronized loop phrases with chords and run them through filters and effects for the first time in a virtual instrument. And now with grain control, there is even more flexibility with a wider range of loops and musical phrases. Only SampleTank 2 allows you to use loops as an instrument with unlimited expression.The new GRAIN control changes the grain-size" that the PSTS engine assigns to the audio. This makes the engine much more effective when working with different types of samples. Higher values make the algorithm more suitable to rhythmic material lower values make it more suitable to continuous sounds. The range is from 20 Hz to 800 Hz.Now available as a stand-alone application For the first time ever, SampleTank can be used as a stand-alone application. No need to launch your sequencer, if you just want to load SampleTank and play. Just open SampleTank and load your favorite preset!Stand-alone mode contains all the features of the SampleTank 2 .1 plug-in. So, now you can take all the power of SampleTank with you in a stand-alone application, making it an easy solution for playing your favorite sounds live with no worries about bogging down your computer with a sequencer and plug-in setup.
