-
- -Installation
- The installer tries to locate your VstPlugIns default folder in your system and
- asks you to confirm the location where to install Sampletank. You could choose
- to install it into the default folder for VST instruments in Cubase(tm) or, if
- you wish, you could specify a different location. Remember that as a plugin,
- Sampletank has to be installed in a VstPlugIns folder or it wouldn't work. In
- the destination folder will be created a new folder called IK Multimedia, into
- this folder you will find the Sampletank plugin itself and the Sampletank
- Instruments folder containing all the DEMO instruments, grouped by category. The
- installation will then be complete.
-
- - Opening Sampletank in Cubase(tm)
- Launch Cubase(tm). Open the 'Panels' menu and select 'VST Instruments'. This
- will display the VST Instruments interface. Click on the 'No VST Instrument'
- text. A pop-up menu will show all available instruments. Move the selection over
- 'IK Multimedia' and click on the sub-menu 'Sampletank'. Switch the instrument on
- by clicking on the dull red button. The button will light up. Now click on the
- 'Edit' button. Sampletank will be launched.
-
- - Opening Sampletank in Logic(tm) Audio
- Launch Logic(tm) Audio. If you already utilize 'AudioInst' channels in
- Logic(tm), just load Sampletank as one of those instruments. Otherwise create a
- new audio object in the Logic(tm) Audio envinronment. Set the output channel as
- Instrument 1. On this channel (in the mixer window) load Sampletank as a plug-in
- in the first 'insert' slot. Double-click on the plug-in slot (blue) and
- Sampletank will be launched.
-
- - Loading and playing instruments
- Before loading an instrument, select the MIDI channel where you want to place
- it. You have all 16 channels at your disposal (for each of the VST(tm)
- instruments opened). You select a MIDI channel by clicking on the 1-16 MIDI
- buttons on the SampleTank interface. Once you have a channel ready, double-click
- on an instrument name to load it in the channel. To the same effect you can
- select an instrument and press the 'Load' button. Notice that the led right
- under the channel button, called the 'Status' led, will turn yellow while the
- instrument is loading, and will stay green when it's ready to be played.
-
- The instrument name, as well as a generic description of the available
- instrument knobs, will appear in the left side of the interface. One or more
- pre-defined effects will be loaded and displayed in the effects interface on the
- right. More information on each single instrument is available by pressing the
- 'Info' button.
-
- You can now play the instrument using a master keyboard connected to the
- sequencer or using a MIDI sequence in the track. MIDI activity in the channels
- is indicated by the red led, called the 'MIDI' led, above each of the channel
- buttons.
-
- To load another instrument in the same channel, just double-click (or select
- and load) a new instrument in the list. To change to a different channel, press
- its MIDI button. To empty a channel, press the 'Empty' button. The Status and
- MIDI leds will immediately blank out.
