SampleTank In Action
SampleTank is known as the “ultimate sample-workstation” by many, but do you know how to take advantage of all of its features and functions? Or maybe you’re just getting started with this flagship sampler and want to learn all about it correctly from the start. If so, this is the video tutorial collection for you.
Videos
• Intro & Set Up (06:08) - Learn how to re-link up the sound library from a new location, customize the colors of the interface, and get a quick overview of the main Sample Tank architecture.
• Working with Drums (05:26) - Explore how to navigate through the instruments, load a drum set into the first part, record in a beat, and set the polyphony and part volume.
• Editing Drum Zones (06:38) - See how to isolate the different zones of the drum kit and apply pitch and formant shifting to them individually using the IK Multimedia STRETCH algorithm.
• Layering Bass Sounds (07:43) - Discover how to reassign the MIDI channels on different parts to create a layered bass sound and use pitch shifting to fatten up the blend.
• Envelope 1 & Macro Parameters (08:08) - See how some of the Envelope 1 and Macro parameters can be used to shape the amplitude of a synth patch over time.
• Saving Instruments (06:56) - Learn to do a bit of housekeeping and save all the user presets of the sounds we've modified so far, and store user keywords with them so that they can easily be recalled.
• The Filter (07:30) - Discover how the three different filter modes in SampleTank work and how they can be used to help sculpt a sound by carving away some of the frequency range.
• Envelope 2 Parameter (07:15) - Explore how the Envelope 2 parameters can be used to creatively shape the effect of both the filter and pitch over time.
• Split & Layered Brass (06:12) - Learn how to use the "Range" mode to create splits and layers.
• Synced Panning (08:24) - See how to use the LFO 2 parameter to shape and sync panning as well as filter and pitch to the tempo of your host sequencer.
• Syncing Loops to Tempo (05:57) - Learn how the Part Sync button works to automatically sync loops to the host tempo.
• Part Effects (06:02) - Discover how to use the Part Effects mode of SampleTank's effects processing section to apply effects uniquely to a single part of the multi-timbral combination.
• Automation (04:36) - Learn how to use SampleTank's simple and elegant automation table to assign MIDI CC numbers with any parameters you want to make available to automate.
• Locking Effects (06:43) - See how to add a guitar part and use the Effects Lock feature as a means of auditioning different user presets with the same effects chain.
• Importing Sounds (08:17) - Learn how to import and map raw sounds as well as SampleCell ll instruments.
• Portamento (08:52) - Discover how to use the portamento settings along with SampleTank's Legato Mode to create musical pitch scoops as well as learn how to add a velocity based offset to the filter settings.
• Round Trip (05:07) - See how to create a short loop from some of the SampleTank parts we have been assembling, and then import it back in as a new instrument.
• Working the Tank (10:04) - Using the new loop created in the last video, Eli creates a part with it and modifies it using a combination of techniques looked at throughout the series.
• Multiple Outputs (06:47) - See how to set up SampleTank to route parts to discreet outputs and setup a multiple output instance of SampleTank in Logic to address the new output routing.
• Standalone & IAC Mode (Mac Only) (08:33) - Learn how to set up SampleTank as a stand alone instrument to be triggered by Logic via IAC mode.
• Final Mix (06:10) - Discover how to use the Send section of SampleTank's effects to add reverb to a few of the parts and give a final complete listen through to the full mix.
