Using SampleTank Free as a sound module.

Postby 2jdsmusic@gmail.com » Tue Mar 27, 2018 8:27 pm

I play a Yamaha WX-5 wind controller and am looking to use the SampleTank Free as a sound source for practice only. I have a Yamaha BT01 bluetooth wireless midi controller that I am trying to use. Forgive me but I can't find ANYWHERE in SampleTank where I define my Midi Interface? Does ST only work with the iRIG-Midi lightning interface? I searched this forum and found a few very old posts(2012) regarding using ST with the WX5 wind controller, but no where did it show how to set it up?

Thanks

SampleTank for iOS will work with any MIDI controller that works with your iOS device. You may want to check if your controller is transmitting on a different channel than the sounds are set to receive on.

The interface works fine with StageTrax to play back MP3 files. In StageTrax I can view my interface that shows as connected. I was looking for something like that in SampleTank. Right now I cannot even determine it ST "sees" the interface. My WX5 controller is set to transmit on channel 1 and if I use the midiox tool on a pc I can verify it is transmitting.

SampleTank will use any connected and working MIDI controller. I'd suggest that you open a ticket with IK Support if you have not done so already so they can figure out what is happening in your case.

Hello Peter!
I'm trying to play Sample Tank using my Elektron Analog Keys connected through the CCK and I can't get the app to play ball. The keyboard works just fine with every other app - including IK Multimedia's own iGrand Piano (free version) - but I really want to try out the Miroslav strings! Has anyone else had problems with external keyboards with Sampletank? I can't see anywhere in Settings to sort this out, and I know my Analog Keys settings are fine because it's working with every other synth app.
Cheers, Alex Bitman

I'll bet there's a setting that isn't matching up, and I'd recommend working directly with IK Support at http://www.ikmultimedia.com/contact-support/ios-apps/ and they'll be able to hone in on the issue and resolve it for you. Thank you.
