Not investing anymore into the hype of SampleTank. Spent $20 for the base app which was "okay" but far from inspiring. So, I spent another $40 to buy the ALL SOUND PACKS. First- beware that you will still have sounds "greyed out" because when you buy All Sound Packs, you apparently aren't actually getting all of the sounds listed in the base app. Second- be prepared to be under-whelmed by pretty bad samples that quite frankly...well, just don't sound like something that is worth $60. The only thing I really am happy with is the interface. It is intuitive and user friendly. Unfortunately, at this point (based on my experience with this app, and their guitar apps) It really seems like they try to reel you in, to get you to spend more $$$$ on in-app-purchases, only to be left feeling like you didn't get the "amazing sample library" you were sold. If I could return it, I probably would.
Update

This app need to be updated to make full length songs using your own patterns and it need a step sequencer like fl studio your better off buying beat maker 2 to make real music......
Terrible update

Opened the app since the new update and everything is completely different. I've used the app A LOT and now I can't even figure out how to open up a drum pad
Changes in the interface
J. Greigh
This was my favorite app. I used it in live looping performances. But the changed a sustain function from the original app and the interface a couple of times. As a musician this is like Changing the keys on a piano. We practice using our equipment for a reason. App updated before a performance. Arrrrrrrrggggg!!!!!!!!?????
Very unclear

This package is not as described. When a company like this offers you somthing that appears to be a combo of three separate softwares and then gives you limited versions I call it fraud. The description and price should reflect that the piano and rhodes are limited free versions and that Sample Tank itslef only has about 30% of the sounds one would expect when purchasing the full version. Its defintiely not a deal. Very dissapointed.
Needs to be brought up to date
Rreenn2015
it needs to at least have its own virtual midi port, ableton link support and at least be brought up to the latest audiobus midi Sdk...
Update PLEASE ????

Some of the best synths and samples out there for iOS but they make them SO hard to actually incorporate into anything you are working on. Please please please add background audio support, AU, let Sampletank play well with others via midi. I’ve spent well over $100 on samples and loops here that I can’t use with my iOS DAW. If AUM, MODSTEP, AURIA PRO, BeatMaker 3, BeatHawk, OR CUBASIS 2 or any other iOS daw for that matter can utilize sampletank please contact me as I would love to give this app 5 stars. As is- I’m afraid the Devs are mostly done with it and just riding on easy street these day.
AUv3 Update Needed Desperately!

The quality of the sound has increased amazingly after this update. Now 8 sound multitimbral, which means you can drive up to eight layered midi tracks all at once giving you sonic power of unheard of quality right on your iPad or even the iPhone. I am using this sound module with MidiBand 3.1 and I'm creating incredible backing tracks in minutes not hours. All because of the amazing sonic power IK multimedia has provided to us. For those on the fence, fear no more, this is it! I missed out on the sale by two hours, although it was still 10pm where I am at, It still didn't go through, but I will not miss out next time. For now the stock sounds are doing just fine. I really love the drums and electric and acoustic guitar sounds now, they just have so much more realism than ever before. With Midiband 3.1, i'm able to drive up to 16 midi tracks all at once, but with 8 that is all i really need for now. Bass, drums, pads, acoustics, electric guitars, all in there and more. I can't wait to see what else is in store for this amazing app, but for now, get it! Heck you can even try it for free! 5 stars worth IMHO!! Please update to AUv3 and will put this over the top! I highly recommend this app! MM4C
It Freezes Up urged

I used this as Demo on PC in the past and felt it was ok so I got the full version of it but it records just 2 tracks without distortions and pops which I'm shocked this is happening they have been around a long time.Dies anyone know how to fix this or should I call them about it.Im using an iPad 2 with iOS 9 16 gig
Not satisfied with sample quality.

I purchased SampleTank based on reviews and YouTube video demonstrations. However, after installing and purchasing the full default instrument set;I am disappointed with the quality of all the samples i've heard in this app. In a word, unrefined. The audio noob may not detect the difference, but the well-seasoned musician will hear it immediately. There is a lot of noise in these samples; meaning the actual true sound has not been well-isolated in the recording method. *iOS music creators are looking for instrument samples and patches of extraordinary quality and uniqueness. While SampleTank has a lot of different functions, unfortunately (in my opinion) it does none of them well. I would advise the developer to greatly increase the sample quality and usability of the app. SampleTank competes directly with GarageBand and Korg Gadget. That is a daunting task indeed, for both of those softwares have nailed the sound quality aspect. Garbage in / Garbage out.
