Okay...okay...perhaps I was a bit hasty before.
I am getting a little bit more comfortable with the new layout. Maybe I don't like change?
And...the sounds are much better; they are richer and I don't hear the artefacts that some had before.
I still think it's a bit of an odd sausage, but it's going to get more use.
They've added som new "Pro" Sounds". Does anyone know where I can get an updated owner's manual and will some of the older tutorials on YouTube still apply? (Soundtest room, etc).
The in app manual covers the updates.
Thanks for doing the deep-sea diving everybody. I came home from a long day at work tired and cranky and reinstalled SampleTank and went through what everybody else did trying to find their previous purchases. I really appreciate the heads up on how to find what what was already mine.
@JeffChasteen : Thanks!
I bought the "All Soundpacks" tonight, and still have some greyed out selections in each category. Annoying...
My Pro Pack demo will be live a bit later today
Can't wait!
Oh cool. Fancy this will be epic
Are the purchased Sampletank Free IAP's now available to the Sampletank (full) app? or are they still non transferable?
Yup, about thirty minutes
The greyedout patches is probably for registrating some IK Multimedia devices, like iRig MIDI...
I registered my old iRig Pro and Grid pack was unblocked.
Just listening to "Walter Canterbury" while waiting - "cool beans"!
Doug's demo is live.
Have the song-creation tools changed? I snagged the regular version free in July and liked clicking together phrases but full-length song creation was not really in the cards. Did 2.0 change that or is it just the sound engine and browsing that changed? AFAIK there's no manual available outside of redownloading the whole gig-plus.
I'll stick it here too to save you going to the video post, I will be doing a few more Sampletank 2 videos this week
Song creation remains basic, no editing to speak of, apart from deleting a whole track and having to redo it. I regard it as a sketchpad, or maybe a source of loops to use elsewhere, but I'd hate to have to create a whole track in it. But you could link it with Cubasis or Auria Pro to drive that side of things.
I think song creation has been updated though as you can set and move loop start and end points which gives a little more control.
I can't seem to drive it via incoming MIDI from Infinite Looper or Music Studio. I set up a little viola flute and harp multi, have all the midi channels specified properly, but sending notes from MS or IL results in nothing. It almost seems like there's an 'enable background audio' setting in Sampletank that I need to tick, but I can't find such a thing in its in-app settings or in its area of the iOS General Settings menu. Tried it in Live Mode and Song Mode. What am I missing?
That's true - while you are nominally stuck with 4/4, you can select to loop on part bars, and I had a nice 2 bar 7/4 pattern going last night.
There is an "Enable Background Audio" button. It's under settings but you have to scroll down to find it....
Yup it sure is! That black settings screen with its invisible scroll bar does a good job of hiding the additional options down below. MS now triggering ST successfully. Interested to see how it'll respond to the MS sostenuto button.
I'm curious why some prefer the new interface to the old.
In the past, if I had written some MIDI in my DAW and wanted to explore a synth lead, I could just go down a list. All the sounds from all my sound packs were in the same place. In seconds I could compare them and pick the one that fit best in my mix.
Let's say I'm now in multi-mode and I'm checking out the synth leads in the Sampletank folder and I want to try out all the synth leads I have purchased in SampleTank. Now I must:
Go back to Categories
Go back to Libraries
Select SampleMoog
Select Synth Lead
Go back to Categories
Go Back to Libraries
Select Sonik Synth
Select Synth Lead.
Why is 8 extra steps better than no steps? I doubt I will be able to remember the sounds well enough to compare them. This wonderful aid to workflow seems to be over. It was easier, faster, logical and more intuitive.
If I purchase more sound packs it will take even longer.
It would be great if they would let us have the choice of interface, as some people do like the new one.
I would definitely buy more packs if they did. With this, I'm not so sure.
Written down it sounds awful. Same as the saving the Song and sending it to the Live area, it sounds like a lot of steps. In practice I find both the procedures easy, quick and better for my brain in practice. In other words segmenting the sounds makes it easier for my brain to remember where. The 8 sounds gives me enough to be practicing with and having shorter lists makes me less likely to neglect sounds.
The larger the list, the more my brain feels that it is just an unmanageable list and not that these are actual instruments that need time to play and explore. Favourite sounds actually become fixed visually in my mind where they are and which segment of which pack they are in. Getting to them in practice is quick. Scrolling down large lists does not help me get their quickly.
I agree. When I'm looking for a particular category of instrument, I usually don't care what pack it comes from. And didn't the old version allow for previewing unpurchased packs by assigning them to patterns?
I think SynthMaster and Nave are two other apps with sound packs that force you to look pack by pack for a sound. I'd like it better if they had an ALL button as an option to show all sounds in a category. SampleTank 2 sounds good, and I like the new features so far, but browsing for sounds is not as simple and quick as it used to be.
Synthmaster has 'All' by making sure no Banks or Instrument Types are selected.
Thanks!
I like the new system as well, but I understand the advantage of having everything in one list. (I also dislike how Nave's presets are so segregated). I think a great solution would be to simply add an 'All' library at the top that contains everything: the best of both worlds.
