Further new additions include a lush 12-stage phaser, a bit-crusher, a convincing spring reverb and the intriguing multi filter. IK have also mined their T-Racks mastering processor to provide a new parametric EQ (shown above), a punchy compressor with a stereo enhancer, and a limiter. Amplitube is the best software amp modeller I've used - to my mind it's clearly superior to both Line 6's Amp Farm and also hardware units such as the Johnson J-Station - and these three effect modules allow you to impose exactly the same sound-shaping on Sampletank sounds. Perhaps best of all is the inclusion of three modules called Preamp, Tone Control and Cabinet, which, in their stand-alone plug-in guise, form the core of IK's Amplitube amp modeller.

All the versionВ 1 effects are present and correct in versionВ 2, and they've been joined by some powerful new algorithms. Most of the factory organ patches, for instance, used IK's distortion and rotary-speaker emulations rather than sampling these factors at source, and they sounded great. One of the best features of the original Sampletank was the bundled effects. The Preamp, Tone, and Cabinet options form the basis of IK's guitar amp-modelling software Amplitube, and are welcome in SampletankВ 2. Once installed, you need to authorise the plug-in in the usual challenge-and-response style until you do so, SampletankВ 2 will run in demo mode, with polyphony limited to four notes.

Having installed the version on the CD, I found that this didn't seem to work with Mac OS 10.3 (Panther), but downloading an update from IK's web site soon got things going, and a further update was made available as I was finishing the review. Given that the program requires a reasonably up-to-date computer to run, it might have been better to supply the sample library on DVD-ROM.

Each of the eight CDs in the XL version I tested requires you to choose what elements you want to install and accept a licence agreement, so you need to be present and awake throughout the installation procedure, which took around 45 minutes on my machine. Sampletank L and XL come on CD-ROM, with the sample library supplied separately on four or eight CDs respectively. A G4 or Pentium 4 processor with 512MB of RAM is recommended, and 4.5GB of disk space is required.

On the Mac, you'll need Mac OS 8.6 or above, while SampletankВ 2 will run under any flavour of Windows from 98SE to XP (or 95 to XP, if you believe the manual rather than the spec on the outside of the box). The plug-in now supports Audio Units, VST, Direct X, MAS (Mac OS 9 only) and RTAS/HTDM formats. There are now only two versions of Sampletank, L and XL the previous dance-oriented DJ version has fallen by the wayside, although the new SampletankВ 2 is actually much better equipped for working with loops.

So is this sequel like The Godfather 2, or are we talking more Police Academy 7? Installation

The replacement is certainly bigger, adding a further 2GB of sound data to SampletankВ 1's existing 2.5GB library, but that's only the start: it also adds an impressive array of new features, new effects and a thoroughly revised interface, plus support for Mac OS X. I've been a fan of IK Multimedia's Sampletank virtual sound module since I first reviewed it in SOS August 2001, and it's still my first port of call for bread-and-butter sounds, especially drum kits and electric basses but more than two years on, it's now been replaced by SampletankВ 2, which IK have been heralding with much ado for a while now. Sequels are usually bigger and more expensive than the original, but as anyone who's sat though Blues Brothers 2000 will know, they aren't always better.

Two years on, there are plenty of fully featured software samplers and non-sampling virtual instruments too. Sampletank was a hit - a sample-based virtual instrument with great sounds and, at the time, not much competition. IK's SampletankВ 2 running under Steinberg's Cubase SX2.
