PRESS RELEASE
SKYLIFE Releases SampleRobot v2.40
December 20, 2006
With the brand-new SKYLIFE SampleRobot® Version 2.40 audio software you can "clone" every instrument and turn it into a software instrument automatically. SampleRobot® works as a copying machine for instruments
featuring advanced recording and auto-loop searching algorithms. With SampleRobot® you can re-create your favorite instruments and sounds via
software samplers. You can archive your samples and combine your sounds to
completely new virtual instruments.
A futuristic graphical user interface gives you fast, efficient, and logical access to all sampling parameters. SampleRobot® is also equipped with semi-automatic recording functions for sampling of acoustic instruments. Have your whole studio within your computer environment - SampleRobot® enables you to work mobile!
A lot of new features based on customer wishes and feedbacks are included in
new version 2.40.
New Functions
- Auto-Loop for all: By using this function you can apply optimum loop settings intelligently from one sample to all other samples of a Multi-Sample or of a Project. This is a batch operation for Auto-Loop processes.
- Auto-Note for all: This is a batch operation to truncate silence from all samples of a Multi-Sample or of a Project at the same time.
- Tempo-based and beat-based marker editing: When editing loop markers, now you have a tempo and beat reference. You can see beat or tempo changing in real time when you move the markers.
- Wusikstation SND Format Export: Users of the virtual instrument Wusikstation can now easily create content for the Wusikstation directly in SampleRobot and SampleRobot Essentials. Therefore the new Wusikstation export dialog was added. All sample mapping information will be transmitted automatically, so that you can play your SampleRobot instrument creation instantly with Wusikstation.
- Tool Tips: From now on function descriptions, tips and operation instructions can be displayed when moving the mouse pointer over buttons and other areas of SampleRobot's and SampleRobot Essentials' graphical user interface. This is
a quick help function not only for beginners.
- Key-Samples Rearrangement: Now it is possible to move, copy and swap samples on the Virtual Keyboard of SampleRobot and SampleRobot Essentials simply with a drag&drop operation.
- Remove Audio after Loop-Out: This option has been added to all export format dialogs. It helps to keep samples' sizes small on your hard drive and also to save performance when loading Multi-Samples into your software sampler. When active, this function chops off all audio after the loop. This material would not be played anyway in most cases.
- WaveRobot Waveform Zoom: The maximum Y-axis waveform zoom has been increased by factor 20 allowing precise "microscopic" waveform edits.
- Selectable Skins: The appearance of SampleRobot's and SampleRobot Essentials' graphical user interface can now be modified by the user. At the moment there are 2 different skins available.
- Optimized ASIO support: New features have been added to SampleRobot's and SampleRobot Essentials' audio engine to extend the support for various audio interfaces.
- Render Loop only: This function is designed to export only the loops of samples (including crossfade rendering), for example to use them in Ableton's Live.
- Clean Selected Project / Clean selected Multi-Sample: With the help of this operation you can free disc space by erasing samples that are either not selected or that are located outside the keyboard range.
- Many more improvements
