-
IK Multimedia

Each week, IK is releasing a new set of instruments that can be downloaded and added to SampleTank 3 Free's instrument library for a total of 22 fully functional free instruments. The first instrument included was a German-made concert grand piano.

This week, you can add some percussion to your SampleTank 3 Free experience with sounds that show SampleTank 3's rhythmic capabilities. You get one sampled instrument from each of the following categories: Acoustic Drums, Electronic Drums, Percussion and Bass. In addition, you also get two synth basses to choose from. With each you will enjoy fine-tuning and sound design afforded by the full version's macro controls, effects processors, sample engines and other features.

Acoustic Drums - Alt Rock Kit
A 9-piece maple alternative rock drum kit in the style of the Foo Fighters recorded in a large, warm room with two 24" kick drums, wood snare, six toms from 10" to 18" and General MIDI percussion. There are additional tom articulations (flams and rimshots) in the top octave and additional snare and hat articulations in the bottom octave. There are multiple velocities and "round robin" alternating samples for added realism. The SampleTank 3 ConvoRoom effect includes samples of the actual studio space where the drums were recorded, so you can dial in the ambience exactly as you want it. 8 MIDI Patterns included.

Electronic Drums - EDM Kit 1
A hard-hitting full electronic drum kit ready to groove in many different EDM sub-genres. Two sharp kick drums meant to cut through a mix, and the aggressive snare drums, pre-processed with compression, will lay down an electronic backbeat. Lively toms, crisp hi-hats, cymbals and assorted electronic percussion fills out the full General MIDI mapping for compatibility and interchangeability with all SampleTank 3 drum kits. 6 MIDI Patterns included.

Bass - P Bass Finger
The classic sound of a Fender Precision Bass played with fingers using roundwound strings. Our instruments provides "round robin" alternating samples, random performance noises, automatic legato and Direct / Amp mixing. 5 MIDI Patterns included.

Synth Bass - Hard Alpha Bass
A distorted sawtooth wave bass with "Reese"-style detuning and keyed portamento ready to add groove to your next electronic track. An aggressive tone with tons of presence and a mighty low end punch.

Synth Bass - Pulse Sub Bass
This square wave bass is filtered down to nearly a sine wave shape to provide deep lows. Put this bass under a snappy, percussive arrangements to fill out the bottom end with fullness and tonal purity. 9 MIDI Patterns included.

Percussion - Dumbeks
Two middle eastern dumbek "goblet drums, " one Turkish with the edge of the drum head exposed and the other Egyptian style with a rounded edge. The word dumbek comes from the Arabic word, "darba, " meaning "to strike." The dumbek is played with the hands, usually holding the drum under one arm. It is a bright, percussive drum that changes its tone with different dynamic hits, and our SampleTank 3 collection provides numerous hits with "round robin" alternate samples for added realism. 3 MIDI Patterns included.
