SampleTron 2 for iPad comes with a vast library of over 400 “tracks” that you can load into any preset—up to 3 at once—and then individually process with IK’s cutting-edge tape modeling DSP for ultimate tone-shaping flexibility.
SampleTron 2 for iPad also shines where it processes our non-Tron material. Here you’ll gain access to exciting new sounds with the choir, strings, brass, organ, piano, bass, and even synths and vocoders that all come included.
We’ve also added vintage digital sample-based instruments such as the Mattel Optigan, Vako Orchestron and 360 Systems Digital Keyboard. And to complete the circle, you’ll find the full content of the much-revered original IK SampleTron product.
Authentic sound and vibe
All 11 models are gloriously detailed and designed to give you the immersive experience of using actual vintage gear right on your iPad, even to the point of exposing their inner workings, all while maintaining uniform ease of use and functionality across the board.
Make it your Tron
Your own samples can now be easily loaded and mapped to take full advantage of the tape processing sound using IK’s industry-leading tape modeling technology. A panel of global controls along with six tape controls let you dial in exactly the right mood.
All the tools you need
SampleTron 2’s edit mode lets you dive deep into the preset parameters with controls for volume, pan, fine tune, transpose and high & low note range for each Track. There’s also synthesizer-style controls including a filter with selectable type and an amplitude envelope with velocity control for each track individually or all tracks combined.
Effects like no other
Effects include a Channel Strip equalizer and compressor, Tape Echo, Multimod—with selectable chorus, ensemble, flanger, phaser, Uni-V and Rotary Speaker—and the new Vintage Plate Reverb that’s based on the Plate algorithm developed for AmpliTube 5.
Expansive versatility
SampleTron 2 for iPad works as a standalone app or as an AUv3 instrument plug-in. Use it with your favorite AU host apps such as GarageBand, Cubasis, AUM, Beatmaker, Auria and more. It also supports MIDI learn and standard MIDI keyboard control for nearly all its functions.

WOOTT is an Audio Unit plugin (AUv3 audio effect) inspired by the infamous OTT sound.
WOOTT uses a triple band dynamics algorithm with simultaneous downwards AND upwards compression, and adds a dedicated limiter to each band. So what’s all that techno mumbojumbo good for?
1. First, it slams all the loud, dominant aspects of your sound
2. Next it blows up all the subtle quiet bits that were hiding below
As a result, it’s perfect for:
– Blowing up average sounds to massive proportions
– Giving an aggressive sharp edge to synthesizer filters
– Bringing out subtle details and movement that would otherwise get lost in the mix (in a hamfisted way, though)
– Dusting off old breakbeat samples and loops
– Hyping specific aspects of your synth lines
– Making generally boring things more interesting
WOOTT features:
– AUv3 audio unit effect plugin
– Universal (all iPads and iPhones supported), iOS11+
– Runs in all your favorite plugin hosts: Cubasis, AUM, Beatmaker 3, Nanostudio 2, Garageband, etc.
– Multi-output (requires compatible host) for post-processing the individual bands
– Low-resource, so stack as many of them as you like – “[WO]OTT all the things!”
– Downwards *and* upwards compressors (a rare feature on conventional dynamics plugins)
– Smart soft limiter per band, adapts to its own band’s specific settings
Note: this is not a subtle effect. If subtle and minimal are what you’re after, this is not the droid you’re looking for 🙂
