Spaceport '77 includes sound selections that simulate the CP-30 Decay control knob being used to simultaneously adjust attack and decay parameters in a way that's similar to a regular synthesizer's ADSR envelope. The Yamaha CP-30 is an electronic piano from 1976 that uses analogue synthesis for its sound generation. SampleTank filters can be applied as well. Discrete lowpass filter options include 12dB or 24dB per octave, for both the classic Oberheim 2-pole filter sound and the legendary Minimoog 4-pole filter sound.

The OB-1 signal path begins with two discrete oscillators and suboscillators, along with a noise generator. Spaceport '77 captures the essence of the Oberheim OB-1 monophonic analogue synthesizer, designed and manufactured in the late '70s. SampleTank 4's onboard filters extend the colour palette even further, complemented by its expansive reverbs, otherworldly chorus and phasing effects, with audiophile EQ and compression for a high-end, cinematic sound.

Electric piano, clavichord and harpsichord timbres from the CP-30 combine with the analogue oscillators and filters of the OB-1 layered in as dimensional pads and evolving sweeps. The combination of the CP-30 and OB-1 creates spacious and timeless tonal possibilities. Meticulously deep samples of the iconic OB-1 and CP-30 offer classic sounds with true-to-original details to enhance the experience.Ī great complement to both the modern synth sounds and classic electric piano sounds already in SampleTank 4's library, this new expansion library adds 100 new instrument presets and 3.9 GB of samples, plus pre-programmed control macros and sound effects. This interstellar analogue synth and electronic piano collection features sounds from the past, voiced to deliver atmospheric, otherworldly soundscapes, hard-hitting galactic bass tracks and wizard-like celestial leads.

They say that this collection was designed to give tracks some '70s and '80s sci-fi flavor, made using two keyboards whose names have always sounded suspiciously familiar to fans of a certain galaxy far, far away: the Oberheim OB-1 synthesizer and the Yamaha CP-30 electronic piano. IK Multimedia has announced Spaceport '77, the first expansion library for SampleTank 4, IK's newest sound and groove workstation.
