Considering its versatility and power, it’s no wonder that SampleTank has been featured on thousands of the most iconic productions and compositions of the last decade. That release was followed in 2003 by SampleTank 2, which has since become an industry standard with an unparalleled software longevity due to its high-quality sounds, easy-to-use interface and powerful included effects. SampleTank - the industry standard sound workstation that’s made historyIn 2001, IK Multimedia made history with SampleTank, the first ever sample-based sound workstation for computer. Not sure what your needs are and how much you care about various articulations etc.SampleTank 3.v3.7.3 WiN MAC Team R2R | | WiN: 429 MB | OSX: 547 MB Content: 16.1 GB | Sound Updater: 1.42 GB AAX AU VST VSTi STANDALONE Kontakt is the industry standard, but its factory library is meh in my opinion, and the super high quality stuff costs a lot. More expensive alternatives would be Kontakt and Halion. Not sure what is included in the Reason Rack VST plugin. If the SE version meets your needs, keep in mind that they were including it with their MIDI controllers, not sure if they still do, so if you're in the market for one, it may make sense to go that route.Īlso, I think they they recently released a free version of SampleTank, so check that out first.Ī cheap alternative could be Sforzando VST + Soundfonts (free, check out Timbres of Heaven or something like that), Air Structure or Xpand (both go on deep discounts, demos may be available on PluginBoutique).

The list of instruments included in various versions is provided on their website. If you're eligible for the crossgrade you may want to go for the Max version right away. I use SampleTank Max with Reaper and it works fine.
