Each instrument has been chosen and recorded to produce the rich depth and vivid realism of live playing. These sounds are far from ordinary: SampleTank 3's library has been carefully assembled and recorded by IK's experienced recording engineers with high-quality instruments played by professional musicians in some of the world's finest studios. Plus, SampleTank 3 includes over 2,500 drum, percussion and full groove construction kit loops and over 2,000 MIDI patterns for its brand new MIDI player section. SampleTank 3 now comes with over 33 gigabytes of professionally recorded instruments - that’s over 4,000 instruments in 21 instrument categories - far more than most other music workstations out-of-the-box.

What makes SampleTank 3 so powerful is its extraordinarily large sound library. SampleTank 3 builds on everything that's made it one of the most popular virtual instruments of all time, making it an essential piece in the musical toolkit of any serious musician, studio producer or live performer for years to come. It features a constantly expanding world of sounds, advanced playing and editing features and a full suite of studio-quality effects.

Like its predecessors, it's the most advanced sound workstation available on the market today. Now, over ten years in the making, SampleTank 3 builds on this storied heritage. 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. In 2001, IK Multimedia made history with SampleTank, the first ever sample-based sound workstation for computer.

Employing a completely retooled software engine, SampleTank 3 delivers ultra-realistic articulations, creative pitch-shift/time-stretching, and a sizable collection of filter effects - without taxing your CPU. IK Multimedia SampleTank 3 is a robust sample-based workstation which includes over 30GB of samples, 4,000 ready-to-play instruments, 2,500 rhythm loops, and 2,000 MIDI files.
