Mixed Feelings Because of Latest Update – SampleTank Review

I personally preferred the older, 2015-16, Sampletank layout. It was very straightforward- here’s your loops, pick a key, tempo, etc. and go. From there I could easily record, sample, rework, and use the loops however I pleased; that version/edition of Sampletank was wonderfully effective for those purposes. Now unfortunately, with the latest version, I can’t even figure out how to hit play on Sampletank- actually I’m not sure if there even is a play button on Sampletank. So thanks a lot to everyone who complained about the layout, midi capabilities, etc. thanks to you, some of us can’t even use this app anymore. It would be really great if designers could make this whole new “live mode” twist, etc. optional or something. Honestly, if I could I’d just download the older version of this app (is there a way to do that??) Or can the designers modify the Help stuff so that it shows you how to just play the loops and samples? I bought a bunch of the sound packs back in 2016. So I’m pretty bummed that now I can’t use them, and potentially kind of wasted my money. I’m really hoping that somewhere down the line this app becomes easy to understand again so that way I can get back to making the different tunes I was working on. That all being said though the sound quality on Sampletank is really good. And the way you could (or maybe can) play with the different loops and sounds in my experiences lent itself to a really fast, economic approach with songwriting/constructing cool beats, sounds, etc. to then jam out, have fun, and enjoy music.
