This offer from Plugin Boutique isn’t the first time we’ve seen SampleTank 4 Max heavily discounted. At the end of last year, the flagship collection was available for just $30 through Humble Bundle.
But I think there are a few important facts that often get lost in translation when large collections are discounted.
If you were to purchase each component of SampleTank 4 Max individually, the total list price would exceed $2000!
Yet, the regular bundle price is a few hundred dollars. Saving around two grand sounds amazing, but it also puts some people off.
Some people see captions like “You save $2000” and assume that no one would sell something so valuable for a couple of hundred dollars (or far less with the Plugin Boutique offer), which often leads to the premature conclusion that it’s not worth the money.
It’s important not to get caught up in the highest list price because whether we think it’s worth over $2000 or not makes no difference.
The only relevant questions are:
- Is it worth the regular bundle price? Yes, in my opinion.
- Is it worth £29.99 at Plugin Boutique? Certainly!
As a musician/producer/composer who works with virtual instruments, you can’t do much better than over 250GB of sounds (over 8000 instruments) for £29.99.
SampleTank 4 MAX includes all 36 SampleTank products, as well as legacy content from previous versions.
The collection also features built-in effects, a revamped modulation matrix, and a dedicated layer interface. The layer interface makes a difference; if there’s one area where IK Multimedia historically received criticism, it’s installers and interfaces.
However, the layer interface makes it easy to create custom patches or splits for both live and studio performance.
You also get so many sounds that you’re covered for almost any style of composition. Some of the standouts are American Acoustic, Terry Bozzio (who doesn’t love Terry’s iconic solo on Zappa’s Baby Snakes?), and Alan Parsons Imperial Grand.
Purchasing SampleTank 4 Max from Plugin Boutique entitles you to a free copy of Excite Audio’s Motion: Dimension Lite (valid until July 31, 2025).
You might not use every sound; you might not even like every sound, but that’s true of any collection; at £29.99, it’s a solid buy.
