IK Multimedia - Beats Series

Audio loops and MIDI patterns with cutting-edge kits for serious production power

The Beats Series contains 4 individual SampleTank 3 instruments collections that provide the modern production tools you need to create top-quality cutting-edge grooves for your tracks. Combining both audio loops and MIDI patterns, the Beats Series gives you the total flexibility you need to produce trend-setting electronic dance music tracks that will leave your audiences shouting for more!

Its advanced tempo matching engine lets you mix and match loops from different collections in an instant. You can combine audio loops with MIDI patterns from different instruments and keep them all in sync without a hassle. The groove never stops with SampleTank 3!

Especially with their combination of audio loops and MIDI patterns, the Beat Series integrates perfectly with iRig Pads. You can start by editing the included Multis — where the audio loops and and MIDI patterns are already combined — to suit your productions. Or you can also start from scratch to build your own iRig Pads-driven Multis. iRig Pads lets you launch grooves and layer additional grooves with a programmable start that locks to the beat, bar or half-bar with perfect quantization.

You can play grooves in Latch mode (tap the pad to start, the groove will play until to you tap the pad again), Hold mode (the loops only play while you are holding the pad) or one-shot (tap the pad to let the loop play to the end one time only). You can also use the knobs, buttons and slider on iRig Pads to control the volumes and pan position of your tracks in SampleTank 3.
