  • All legacy presets and samples included sound identical to Syntronik 1 with our dual-engine architecture.
  • Wave Set Browser lets you choose the sound in each of up to 4 oscillators and 2 suboscillators per preset.
  • New EDIT panel with modulation matrix offers deep editing beyond the capabilities of the original hardware synths.
  • New Step Sequencer in the PLAYER panel for flexible and expressive rhythmic textures.
  • Controller Filters in the MULTI panel let you filter out sustain pedal, pitch bend, mod wheel and aftertouch for each of the 4 Parts.
  • 33 new effects (71 total effects including the stellar Vintage Plate reverb).
  • Disk streaming lets you load presets faster and can be adjusted to match your drive type.
  • All synths work as libraries inside SampleTank 4 alongside SampleTron 2, Miroslav Philharmonik 2, Cinekinetik, Electromagnetik, etc.

SampleTron 2 For iPad Now Available

[embedded content]

IK Multimedia has released SampleTron 2 for iPad, a new version of their virtual instrument that goes beyond emulating the Mellotron and other early sample-playback keyboards by letting you create ‘new vintage’ sounds, based on your own samples.

Sampletron 2 for Mac & Windows was released earlier this year. IK says that SampleTron 2 for iPad is ready for iOS 15 and compatible with all iPad model sizes and AU Host apps.

Here’s what they have to say about it:

“SampleTron 2 for iPad comes with a vast library of over 400 “tracks” that can be loaded into any preset—up to 3 at once—and then individually processed with IK’s cutting-edge tape modeling DSP for ultimate tone-shaping flexibility.

While an extensive collection of new, original samples of vintage Mellotron and Chamberlin are included, SampleTron 2 for iPad also shines where it processes non-Tron material. Here users will gain access to exciting new sounds with the choir, strings, brass, organ, piano, bass, and even synths and vocoders that all come included.

Also included are vintage digital sample-based instruments such as the Mattel Optigan, Vako Orchestron and 360 Systems Digital Keyboard for more creative options than any other Tron collection. In addition, users will find the full content of the much-revered original IK SampleTron product.”

Features:

  • 2.5GB virtual instrument collection of sought-after vintage and tape-based samplers
  • Over 400 tracks sampled from vintage Mellotrons, Chamberlins, Optigans and more
  • Each preset can load 3 tracks to split, layer and solo from over 400 available
  • Features 11 modern non-Tron and vintage digital sample-based instruments
  • Import Sample function creates user Tron sounds with IK’s tape modeling DSP
  • Includes the full content of IK’s original SampleTron updated for legacy users
  • 11 selectable effects with Channel Strip, Tape Echo, Multimod and new Vintage Plate
  • Assignable MIDI continuous controllers for use with external controllers
  • Works as an AUv3 instrument plug-in and as a standalone app
