| IK Multimedia and Sonic Reality aannounce their latest collaborative effort, Sonik Instruments, a series of virtual instrument plug-ins dedicated to focused collections of rare and top-of-the-line instruments and sounds. The first announced of this series are SampleMoog, SampleTron, and Studiophonik. Each of these Sonik Instruments offers a full synth-sampler engine powered by SampleTank with an inspiring customized graphic interface and a full range of built-in multi effects. 16 multi-timbral parts, 4 insert effects and 4 send effects per part, selectable among more than 30 high-quality effects (with algorithms derived from IK's T-RackS and AmpliTube, fast loading and low-CPU demands, VST/AU/RTAS and stand-alone availability are only some of the high-end features that each of these Sonik Instruments is able to offer. Moreover, all Sonik Instrument sounds can also be loaded within SampleTank 2.5. SampleMoog is the most complete collection of Moog sounds ever released in one product, done in cooperation with Moog Music. This virtual instrument takes you back in time to the days of analog and honors one of the founding fathers of synthesis, Bob Moog. SampleMoog includes 22 rare, collectible Moog synths, accurately sampled and programmed with the addition of built-in effects. This sample-based product offers a wide range of basses, leads, pads, and effects from monstrous Moog Modulars to rare Minimoogs to Taurus Bass Pedals, Polymoogs, Memorymoogs and more. SampleTron offers the most diverse collection of Tron sounds ever released in one product. It has samples of 18 rare, vintage keyboard instruments such as Mellotrons, Optigans, Chamberlins and other related Tron family instruments. These Trons were ingenious keyboards made in the 60¹s that were the predecessors of today¹s samplers, with the capability of reproducing many natural sounds that were recorded on tapes or disks and activated by keys. Brought to you from the personal archives of Dave Kerzner, CEO of Sonic Reality, this unique virtual instrument includes rare sounds Dave has sampled with artists such as Crowded House, Smashing Pumpkins, Tom Waits and more. SampleTron not only has traditional classic and progressive rock sounds such as the 'Strawberry Fields Forever' flute and sounds used by the Moody Blues, Yes, and Genesis, but also includes unusual quirky sounds that today's alternative, rock, hip-hop and film composers are in search of. Studiophonik is a virtual instrument plug-in dedicated to reproducing the diverse sounds and instrumentation of full guitar, bass and drum bands recorded in high-end studios and includes a diverse collection of realistic instruments. Studiophonik combines high-quality studio drum, bass and guitar instruments with powerful built-in modeled studio effects of the SampleTank engine. Sonik Instruments will be available during the second quarter of 2007. |
