IK Multimedia has announced the rebirth of analog tape-based sampling with SampleTron 2, a deep multi-sampled collection of 10 classic tape-based and early digital samplers, alongside an additional collection of modern acoustic instruments to use with tape processing.
The virtual instrument combines the powerful sound engine of the award-winning SampleTank 4 with IK’s 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 users to load their own samples and create modern audiophile Tron sounds that are uniquely theirs.
