The 3.5 version also introduces a range of downloadable sound libraries that will expand and grow alongside SampleTank 3, allowing its world of sounds to be customized to suit the needs of any creative workflow.

Version 3.5 marks the beginning of a massive expansion of SampleTank 3's sound content, with exclusive new instruments, patterns and loops. 11 new sound collections covering a wide range of electronic music production styles are now available for SampleTank 3 and SampleTank 3 SE. The new sounds are split between 2 different series: The Elektronika Series contains construction kit loopsof the most popular electronic dance music genres of today. The Beats Series contains drums, percussion, special effect sounds and MIDI patterns tailored to meet modern producer's needs. The new Elektronika titles feature 8 genre-specific sound libraries. Each of these libraries include over 250 high-quality combinable construction loops that cover every layer of electronic dance music production: drums, grooves, basslines, melodies, stabs, effects and more, designed to take full advantage of SampleTank 3's loop manipulation features. Genres include: Chillout, Deep House, Drum'n'Bass, Hardcore, Indie Dance, Minimal, Techno, Trance.

The Beats Series titles feature 3 new libraries comprised of one-shots and construction kits - with 20 sound kits and 120 MIDI patterns, for a total of 250 MB each - that are suited for everything from the head-nodding boom-bap of hip-hop to the hands-in-the-air euphoria of stadium EDM. Specifically designed for pad controller playing, these new choices include: Nanotube, NRG, and Power Up. Check out the library descriptions for further details. These three new libraries join The Grid — a beatmaker-centric collection of electronic rhythms and loops released with iRig Pads — to give The Beats Series a total of 4 available titles. And, thanks to SampleTank 3's powerful loop and pattern synchronization features, musicians can mix-and-match elements of all Beats and Elektronika libraries to create millions of different, unique and inspiring groove combinations. SampleTank 3 now offers a total of 12 exciting sound libraries for electronic dance music producers and beatmakers. However, stay tuned as IK will be releasing a continuous monthly stream of new libraries, covering all fields of music from acoustic to electronic and beyond.
