actual size of the library of sounds it comes with, most modern workstations don’t have a full gig of sounds on board. Now you can walk around with a full gig of the same amazing multi-samples on your studio computer in your pocket! So, first thing I did when getting my iRig MIDI and installing SampleTank iOS was connect it to my MPC. First, the MIDI cables which come with iRig MIDI, then I grabbed a stereo-mini cable to dual 1/4” cables and realized that I could sample directly from my iPad! This already was blowing my mind! iOS could replace a lot of the things I was already connecting to my MPC. After connecting MIDI Out from my MPC to the iRig MIDI, I started browsing the sounds in SampleTank iOS. As is, you can easily use this to replace a GrooveBox with over 400 instruments and 900 patterns or grooves included. Any DJ could use this alongside their
regular setup. As usual for me, I started with drums, and these drums sound awesome! From hard-hitting 808 snares to deep 808 kick bellows, the drums were on point. The acoustic drum kits surprised me just as much! With such a huge variety ranging from R&B, Studio, Rock, Electro, Techno, Reggaeton, West & East Coast, the drums alone are reason enough to download SampleTank iOS! The best thing about SampleTank iOS is how easy it is to jump between sounds and edit them with the built in effects. Of course there are the standards for any sound module – volume, attack, release and filter – but also some great additions with compression and three different types of reverb! Again, having a touch screen to edit sounds makes quick work of something that can be tedious on a computer with a mouse. With a touch screen, doing things like this are second nature. Similar to hardware, you just reach out and turn a knob. With iOSm you just slide your finger!
