Thanks so much Doug, you answered my question in the first 3 minutes. Couldn’t understand how to layer in a multi; like you say I already had BUT playing the screen keyboard only reflects the selected part. I was tearing my hair out trying to see how to get multiple parts selected - doh! Thanks again! 🎹🍾❤️

[@edzielinski]

Excellent. I finally get how to use multi’s in SampleTank. Now I can load a single instance as an IAA in AUM but have multiple instruments on the channel, each controlled by a separate MIDI channel. Not quite as flexible as an AUv3 but still quite powerful. This app does have some good sounds and a pretty wide range of instruments. If IK ever offers AUv3 support I will seriously consider buying more expansions. Thanks!

[@perrypelican9476]

These are my favourite videos by Doug where I can learn something. You are so good at tutorials. I like the quick plays but these are the gems with real value.

[@rightfromtheart]

Outstanding short tutorial! - you brought me through all of the main things I wanted to know! Thanks again! Bob~

[@MattHall]

Sampletank recognizes my Keystation88 MK3 in the standard mode, but not in live mode. I'm stumped!

[@aaronwilson783]

You sir are the reason I am making a purchase with sample tank, I've watched many videos on MIDI controllers for my Ipad but you laid this one out very well. Thank You!

[@Jorge.O85]

Thanks, i was thinking how to do that, just got the pro version and syntonik. Now im happy ! 😬

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

Glad I could help!

[@lucianlangtr]

Thanks a lot for this tutorial! I know it's quite old, but is there any way to set it for using the full range of the keyboard as a piano, while also using the drum pads for drums? Thanks in advance

[@2009Tosh]

Fantastic explanation.... can you run/play Sampletank in background eg when using Onsong or another scrolling program?

[@Mael-Jale-Looper-Artist]

Hi! Thank you so much for your video, I was struggling with the channels, so it just saved my life! 😅 I have a question: I would like to plug to my Ipad my midi keyboard + my guitar (along with "midi guitar 2") at the same time, with a certain patch assigned to the keyboard, and another one assigned to the guitar. For instance, I'd like to be able to play a guitar riff, get my looper to play it, and immediately add to it a drum part that I would play with my midi keyboard (much easier than with the guitar!). And I would like to do that live, so I need the process to be fast and easy. Do you know how I could set that up? Thank you so much! Michael

[@IMaiden89]

Hey doug thanks loads for this tutorial, I just found out when setting the instrument range you can use a second finger to move the screen and the range at the same time

[@rightfromtheart]

QUESTION ... Which sound library did you have to purchase in order to fill out the "STRINGS" section? Below the "cello", all I have in my library are "greyed out". I initially bought the iPad Sampletank 2, then added "PRO", thinking I would be getting the HARP you have in this video, but that was not the case ... So, which sound library has the harp? Thanks in advance! Bob~

[@camilleaguila2839]

Everytime i go to live mode, there is no spund coming from the midi controler? Need help

[@jeremybohonos1275]

Is there anyway to adjust individual instruments using a midi foot controller? I.e. I am hoping be able to switch instruments on and off “hands free” while playing live. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

[@philfab5]

Great clear thanks

[@Rick-zw7zv]

Is it possible to disable the sustain pedal for a particular sound/track in the performance mode? I don't want sustain on the bass track.

[@rio197]

Thank you, I've just started using SampleTank :)

[@SuperLeonSax]

Thank you for your informative video, I'm a new iPad owner, and SampleTank user. is there an app you can recommend that plays (SMF) midi files?, Roland discontinued their Sound Canvas for ios?

[@payentertainment2949]

i can't make a layer in sampletank...even my midi channel in the same number.... help me.... i use sampletank 2.0.11 i try in iphone and i hane the same issue....

[@tim-theo]

Thanks

[@The_Doc_Rocks]

Great tutorial, Doug. One suggestion - could you do a bit less of the hand-waving across the front of the iPad? I know you're enthusiastically demonstrating things, but perhaps slower, more deliberate pointing without the random waving that is very distracting as we try to follow what's happening on screen. Thanks for your videos - great stuff :)

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

Hi Pete, excellent point, it is distracting, I shall try and make a conscious effort to stop doing that

[@The_Doc_Rocks]

Wow - rapid response :) Thanks Doug. Hope you took my comment as constructive, not whinging :) Keep up the great work.

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

+Dr_Rock (Pete) Yes, I took it as constructive, it's better to let me know anything that can make the viewing experience more enjoyable and that's something I can easily fix, I can't guarantee I'll stop doing it completely but I will make an effort

[@awokethelion316]

Have to admit your voice was a lil weird to me at first, but then I realized what great work you do, now I love your voice. Your voice sounds like sample tank made easy to me, I hope they are paying you because I don’t think they even do themselves as good of service as you do for them. Keep it up man. #subscribed

[@joeboygsxr]

Brilliant sounds in there, would still rather have Module though only because of IK's IAP's

[@bobbo924B]

Great tute, very clear! Learned a lot. Thanks Doug.

[@elyamzon]

Great tutorial. Just have one question, how can I use the iGrand within the SampleTank? The iGrand is not showing in the library. Thanks in advance

[@revdjeru]

help please! i cannot layer instruments using iphone6. channel select not working.

[@MatONeill]

Love your videos - I'm completely new to this so examples like this are so valuable. Thanks a million and consider me subscribed :)

[@elleondejuda4681]

Nice video , can you tell me how can a control the panels, volume, delay , cutioff, attack etc , every time it kicks me out. What do I have to do , I don't have it connected to a keyboard, you think that might be the problem or is it something else. Thanks !

[@jslee8737]

This is just what I wanted to know. Thank you.

[@rvenneman]

Thanks.

[@smithmtodd]

thanks Doug - very helpful!

[@redstrat1234]

Very very useful sir - great work

[@simson99w]

Liked @2022

[@bobbo924B]

Trying it out is different than watching. Right off the bat, where you have a little + sign at the top left of the User Preset Multi page, I have a ± (plus or minus) and tapping it does nothing. Missing a step am I?

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

That's odd, I definitely don't have a little minus sign, no idea what that is, what iOS are you using

[@bobbo924B]

iPad Pro 12.9, 9.3.5.

[@crescendopianoviolin]

How to save the user multi? Because the manual only says how to do them and in your video it shows how to do it but not how to save them, I have the sample tank free but buy the package of all the sounds, I can use the sample multi, and make tracks but when editing a milti Nothing is saved. I already wrote to IKmultimedia and according to them it should be saved but it does not !!!! Where do I claim ???

[@yornan8482]

Crescendo Talleres Musicales you must change the setting to "user" preset to save... in the free version there is "demo" preset and "user" preset...

[@Newyawkchicks]

Thanks was looking for this Does it save the multis automatically or is there a save function cause when i gp to live it says changes will be lost? TIA

[@scottstevens5481]

DJ Marla Jo... he covers it super quick from runtime 6:10-6:20.... basically tap the name title of your multi... a drop down menu opens with the "icon" to save revealed... tap that and it saves your multi...! The save icon sort of looks like a "file download" icon? That about best description I can give... but if you watch his video at the time I mention above you should see it. Hope that helps!

[@teodorixnature]

Thanks!

[@JojoOlarte]

I just have 1 question bro. How to control the volume of each instrument while playing? I think sampletank has no features to control individual volume while playing.

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

Jojo Hi, just below where it says SAMPLETANK in the middle at the top there are two Icons, tap the one on the left that looks like a little mixer

[@edsonsimpson283]

Trying to buy this app but keep getting message saying (this app not compatible with device) I'm using ipad4th generation

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

I just had a look on the App Store and it looks like you need at least an iPad Air running iOS 8 or above to use this version of the App, Ik Multimedia are saying you cant update unless you have this.

[@edsonsimpson283]

Thanks very sad now

[@halilintarbtaradevaofficia3148]

Cool. Thanks. So useful

[@Bill-Piano]

thank you so much

How to delete multi

[@ej1mshan]

Too bad this wont work with iPad 1-2 :(

[@learner770]

I agree.., I have iPad 2 :(

[@ej1mshan]

If Korg can run Gadget on all iOS platforms universally, its a shame IK multimedia can't. Sure Gadget and Sample tank are different apps and all but IK fails here.
