The Modern “Tron”SampleTron brings the “tron” sounds into the new millennium. Through careful sampling of some of the world’s best-kept (and, in some cases, worst-kept!) machines, IK Multimedia and Sonic Reality have been able to preserve a wide-ranging cross section of memorable tones. But this is only a piece of the magic. SampleTron harnesses the power of the SampleTank engine, which allows these instruments to be taken into sonic worlds even they have not seen, quickly and easily. Layer up to 16 instruments at the same time to create lush soundscapes, or create key-splits for easy playability of several instruments at the same time across the entire range of the keyboard. Affect these tones with up to four effects at the same time, selectable from a huge 32-effect library of killer delays, choruses, flangers, distortions, and reverbs, as well as completely synth-based effects such as FM and Am modulation, Lo-Fi, and Slicer. And, as if that wasn’t enough, harness the power of SampleTank’s synth engine, with three different sample types (Resampling, Pitch-Shift/Time-Stretch, and STRETCH), to truly twist and re-shape the sound into something never before heard!
SampleTron truly is the modern successor to the “tron” family of instruments, and is a superb addition to every producer’s library. From hip-hop and RnB to electronica and filmscores, this instrument, based in history but improved with technology, will elevate every genre to the next level.
