SampleTank is good sounding but aloof – SampleTank Review

It's got good sounds, I'll give it that. But, SampleTank is a burdensome when it comes to user-interface and doesn’t take advantage of iOS audio as one would hope. Pros: ?Quality sounds and good expression when tweaking the controllers. CONS: ?SampleTank is in a world of its own. The app ignores the capabilities of iOS, No AU3 support, NO separate channels for discrete instrument mixing just stereo. ?Hit with in iRig "advertisement" splash page at every SampleTank launch. ?Cannot read user manual unless you register the product through their website, and only after confirmation. ?The user manual is nested four button presses deep to find information, and no option to download the documentation as a PDF or separate webpage and no manual available at their support site. ?The Transport Controls are difficult to see if they are active or not and e.g. The record button is so bright it always appears to be on. ?SampleTank has sloppy internal MIDI implementation so playing it with the other internal apps can be challenging, and there's no standard MIDI implementation chart
