SampleTron 2 (Download)
Analog tape-based sampling reborn

SampleTron 2 combines the powerful sound engine of IK’s award-winning SampleTank 4 with our industry-leading tape modeling technology to recreate the distinctive, ultra-vibey sounds of tape-based samplers from the ‘60s and ‘70s along with quirky early digital sample players and vocoders.This comprehensive collection features deep sampling of vintage Mellotron® and Chamberlin tapes, a collection of new acoustic “non-Tron” sounds with tape processing, and now enables you to load your own samples and create modern audiophile Tron sounds that are uniquely yours.SampleTron 2 comes with over 400 “tracks”  you can load into any preset—up to 3 at once—and then individually process with IK’s cutting-edge tape modeling DSP.  While an extensive collection of new, original samples of vintage Mellotron and Chamberlin are included, SampleTron 2 also shines with new non-Tron material. Here you’ll gain access to exciting new sounds with the choir, strings, brass, organ, piano, bass, and even synths and vocoders.In addition to sounding better than ever, SampleTron 2 looks the part with a gorgeous interface that’s true to the original instruments, remaining simple and intuitive to use. All ten models are gloriously detailed to give you the immersive experience of using actual vintage gear.  All controls are intuitive to use with old-school looks that belie some ground-breaking engineering. Like the original Mellotron hardware, there are three available tracks for each preset. Only now you don’t have to fudge the track selector to combine them. You can load any of the included tracks or your own samples with total control for mixing between all three to create your own combinations.  A panel of global controls along with six tape controls let you dial in exactly the mood you’re looking for, with the precision and authenticity that only IK’s tape-modeling technology can deliver.When you want to fine-tune the sound further, SampleTron 2’s edit mode lets you dive deep into the preset parameters with controls for volume, pan, fine tune, transpose and high and low note range for each Track. You’ll also find additional synthesizer-style controls including a filter with selectable type and an amplitude envelope with velocity control for each track individually or all tracks combined. With SampleTron 2, you can truly invent your own Tron sound.
