IK Multimedia now shipping SampleTron
IK Multimedia has announced that SampleTron, the second virtual instrument to be released from the Sonik Instruments' range, is now shipping! Done in cooperation with Sonic Reality, SampleTron is a virtual instrument workstation featuring the most complete collection of authentic "Tron" and other vintage keyboards instrument samples ever released in one product. These were ingenious instruments; precursors of today's samplers that used tapes to play back prerecorded sounds from the touch of the keys.
SampleTron include a massive library of 17 rare "Tron" instrument sounds, together with a "Powered by SampleTank" engine, offering extremely powerful editing features in an easy-to-use, sample-based virtual instrument plug-in for every popular DAW and also as a standalone application for MAC and PC.
SampleTron includes the most complete "Tron" anthology ever released in one virtual instrument, with over 2 GB of sounds, 640 presets and 260 multi-samples from 17 rare and vintage Mellotrons, Chamberlins, and their derivatives like the Optigan, Rhythmaster and much more. SampleTron's diverse library was meticulously sampled by Sonic Reality and assembled to showcase the entire sonic palette, with chromatic samples that accurately capture the complete authentic tone of each instrument. Jam-packed with unprecedented instruments originally used by The Beatles, Moody Blues, Genesis, Yes and other famous bands from the 60's and 70's, the sounds in SampleTron are diverse, powerful and inspiring! SampleTron offers some of the most unique and musically useful tones present on the market; special "Tron" sounds that transcended into all styles and genres of music over the years — now widely used by modern artists like Kanye West, Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins and Beck.
