SampleTron 2 *presets* in SampleTank 4

Postby dyross » Tue Apr 05, 2022 5:46 pm

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out if / how SampleTank 4 supports SampleTron 2 presets / tape effects.

I can load, for example, the "Chuck Tron Off The Roof" preset as an instrument in ST4, and the description is "Instrument Preset Created in SampleTron 2". This instrument *does* have SampleTron's tape effects playing, but I can't seem to find anywhere in ST4 to edit them.

I've also tried creating my own SampleTron 2 presets in SampleTron 2 itself, but those don't seem to be available in ST4.

How does this work?

Thanks,
David

As an update, I was able to get my user-created preset into ST4 by clicking on the SampleTron 2 icon in the library and clicking refresh.

This still leaves the question as to how ST4 is playing the tape effects of SampleTron 2 - is it updating the sample when it imports it (and overwriting it?), or is ST4 secretly utilizing the same tape effects engine, though without making it accessible?
