Sampletank's very early libraries were often of that class. They did this because the storage space on the ROMs was very limited. They would take one sample and stretch it across the whole keyboard by pitch shifting it and that would be the flute or sax instrument for example. By and large early sound modules for keyboard workstations had pretty weak sound libraries. Which changed it more into a classic sound module/rompler. A rompler is a sampler with a fixed set of sounds (used to be stored in ROM, read-only-memory) hence the name.Įarly versions of Sampletank actually allowed a user to make their own instruments, but that was dropped a while back. For Sampletank 3 this was pretty much required, for Sampletank 4 I believe the VST3 should be stable, but the long history of it crashing (when the VST2 wouldn't) kind of makes me avoid it. I still don't trust the VST3 version though and stick with the VST2.

But at least for me 4.0.9 and the sounds update that went with it, addressed most of the problems. I know there are still some outstanding issues with 4.0.9 (check KvR for the thread). But for a rompler its sounds aren't all that bad. Sampletank has never been home of the deeply sampled super-realistic scripted instruments you can find in Kontakt. You can see what articulation is active in the main parts view (shows up under the instrument name) but that's it. In ST3 you could see the keyswitch guide but in ST4 it's just some red colored keys. This was very nice with the Miroslav instruments. The big thing I wish they might address is that ST4 lost the visible keyswitch guide that ST3 instruments had. I'm not sure I've ever used the drum kits that much, they don't seem as good as Superior Drummer 3/EZDrummer/Addictive Drums 2/etc. But if you want to learn the interface and some of the more complex features it is maybe the best video guide I've seen.

Though I don't think it goes into the included multis all that much, since that section actually was expanded after the initial software release. Groove3 has a SampleTank 4 Explained video (with Eli Krantzberg) that isn't that bad (if you happen to have a sub). The ST4 UI and preset loading system is a bit weird at first.
