“If you're considering a new reverb plug-in... then look no further” I was pretty impressed with CSR. IK Multimedia did a good job of creating a good sounding, classic digital reverb plug-in... Not only is CRS easy to use and CPU efficient, it is very attractive looking. If CSR was a hardware unit, you would admire its interface design and praise its solid build. The Modulation Matrix is a real treat for users who are into experimentation. They will be happy to know that the modulation controls offer vast sonic possibilities... [more] 2008-08-04 |

Excellent review in Gitarre & Bass 06/2008 "Editing and playing with the StompIO is real fun as everything has a practical logic behind it... You can really wave 'goodbye' to MIDI pedals. The StompIO is perfect for stage and studio and is in perfect harmony not only with AmpliTube X-GEAR but also with the guitar player himself... First Class sound quality combined with rugged purpose built hardware: advanced digital technology but accessible through the good old analogue way... The bottom line is that the set is truly worth the money. Check it out!"... [more] 2008-07-22 |

Excellent combined review in the August 2008 issue "X-GEAR is one of those products that's very simple in concept, but very useful in practise... the result is one of the most comprehensive modelling products on the market to date - and for me one of the best such products... [AmpliTube Metal is] an amp simulator full of impressive amp and cabinet models and effects. There's actually plenty on offer whether or not you like Metal... All in all, I have to give these two new products from IK Multimedia a hearty thumbs up."... [more] 2008-07-18 |

In depth review in August 2008 issue "SampleTron provides a fascinating collection of classic, unusual and quirky samples taken from Mellotrons, Chamberlins, Optigans and other rare replay instruments. Sixteen multitimbral Parts and multiple outputs offer good flexibility within DAWs, while the versatile synthesis parameters and effects provide much creative sound design potential. Prog rockers will love it, as will anyone looking for cutting-edge, retro or off-the-wall elements for their productions. You'll have a lot of fun with this."... [more] 2008-07-18 |

Review in August 2008 issue gives 2 awards + 9 out of 10 points ! "Real treat. It delivers an aggressive tone that's definitely the most gain-happy of the lot and will satiate fans of modern metal... the plethora of distortion and overdrive boxes gives you further scope for crafting a crushing sound, and the flangers and phasers are handy, too.... IK has done a great job of providing a bespoke plug-in for those in search of megawatts of hard, drivin' distorted tones."... [more] 2008-07-17 |

Excellent review of SampleTron in Sound & Recording July 2008 issue "This library is of great benefit to everyone regardless of whether one produces electronic or handmade music. It is amazing how much more alive and deeper some initially bland tracks become just by adding a couple of sounds from SampleTron... It is very hard to get one’s hands on the original vintage treasures sampled in SampleTron and they are sold for a lot of money on the second hand market. Thanks to the partly very rare sounds and the many extremely rare und unusual instruments such as Optigan and Chamberlain, SampleTron is simply unrivalled. A masterstroke!"... [more] 2008-07-15 |

Excellent review in KEYS August 2008 issue "Sound-wise AmpliTube Metal does deliver what the name promises. All fans of hard guitar sounds should truly rejoice! [The amps and effects] sound all very convincing and they are also very living room friendly, storable and with a price tag of just about 200 Euros also very pleasantly affordable. With AmpliTube Metal, hard and heavy guitar sounds are just a few seconds away. There is no simpler way to get convincing metal sounds with a computer."... [more] 2008-07-14 |

DJ Times Review by Phil Moffa “For starters, the recordings are very well produced and extensive. The release times sound natural and convincing that a Moog synth is in your rig. The various leads, basses and basic waveforms all sounded top-notch... [more] 2008-07-11 |

This newly released “Powered by AmpliTube” collection includes models based on some of the most popular amps, stompboxes, mics and rack effects of all time, covering gear from the mid 1970’s to today’s more aggressive styles...

Watch a SampleTron Sound Video Tour "SampleTron, a powerful sampling tool that mimics the classic sampling keyboards or "Trons" of the 60's and 70's. It contains samples from Chamberlins, Mellotrons, Novatrons, Optigons and other famous units from these series of instruments. It was the earliest form of sampling technology available to the consumer... [more] 2008-07-02 |
