Typically, the Return Channels are used for effects fed from multiple instruments like reverbs and delays – for example, you can use just one ConvoRoom reverb for your piano, string pad or synth lead. This lets you send signals from any Part Channel to any Return Channel. These channels do not contain Instruments but instead are fed a signal from the 4 effect sends on each of the Part Channels. To the right of the 16 Part Channels are the 4 Return Channels. Use an effect slot to view the effect in the FX Panel at the bottom of the window just like on the PLAY page These effects process only their own channel, just the individual Part and its loaded Instrument. The effect slots are serial: the first slot feeds the second slot, the second slot feeds the third slot and so on. Click to load any of SampleTank’s 3 effects into any slot – there are no limitations other than that of your computer’s CPU power. You can also use the sends to create “groups” for processing with bus processors like compressors, limiters and equalizers.Īt the top of each channel strip are the 5 insert effects slots. Use the 4 send buttons and use the send knob to adjust the send levels from the channel to the 4 Return Channels where you’d typically put multiple instrument effects as opposed to those used on each channel.

Each Part can contain a single SampleTank Instrument with a channel strip that gives you mixing board style controls for volume, pan, mute and solo. Just click on the menu icon in the bottom leftĬhannels 1-16 represent each of the 16 Parts in SampleTank 3. With SampleTank 3, naming, saving and deleting your Multis or Instruments is easy.
