Plus, a new cutting-edge sound engine offers efficient hard-disk streaming, meaning sounds load faster than ever and perform like never before. The redesigned GUI, the interface is now fully scalable/zoomable to re-size conveniently on any type of modern displays. Users can edit an entire sound or access individual articulations, zones, or single samples, for the deepest level of control.

Choose from 16 modeled filters, edit envelopes, oscillators, portamento, polyphony and more. Working with multiple sounds has been made easier with a new dedicated Layer interface that enables setting up layers and split-points for up to 16 simultaneous sounds. The sound engine offers powerful, more creative sound design. Effects like these have never before been heard in a virtual instrument – they’re all derived from IK’s industry-leading AmpliTube and T-RackS software. SampleTank 4 also adds 13 new effects, for a grand total of 70 studio-quality effects. The library features high-end recordings of all new concert pianos, keyboards, guitars, bass, drums, strings, brass, synths, vocals, percussion and more, all with articulations and round robins for the most realistic performance yet, with over 120,000 new samples added. The SampleTank 4, like previous versions, is a great place to start for music creators. You read it right, this bundle contains the largest sample library of virtual instruments that IK has ever produced. SampleTank for iOS has a 1 GB on-board sample library of 500 instruments, including samples from IK's Miroslav Philharmonik and SampleMoog.IK Multimedia's SampleTank 4 MAX is the complete sound and groove workstation that includes over 250 GB of samples and 8,000 sounds. To compliment the iRig MIDI adapter, IK has created an iOS version of SampleTank, optimized for live performance. There's also a micro USB port to keep your device juiced up through those extra long performances. In addition to the standard IN and OUT ports found on current MIDI adapters, the iRig MIDI has a THRU input for more advanced MIDI applications. Likewise, you can use these apps to control external MIDI gear through the iRig MIDI. The yet-to-be-released adapter will connect your iOS device with any MIDI compatible device (keyboards or electric drums, for example) to control a whole host of Apple Core MIDI-compatible apps, like GarageBand.

IK Multimedia, makers of the iRig Mic, iRig for guitar, Amplitube for iOS, and many other exciting music products, has announced the iRig MIDI: a standard Core MIDI (music instrument digital interface) adapter for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.
