EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hi all,
i'm happy to announce the release of AutoSampler. We will make 
available a demo on the site in a few days: in the meanwhile the manual 
can be downloaded and checked.
Official announce text follows.

Best Regards
Andrea at Redmatica


Redmatica today released AutoSampler, the new revolutionary software 
dedicated to the automatic advanced sampling of midi instruments.  
Designed to be a creative tool for bridging the gap between high 
quality hardware synths and the virtual studio world, AutoSampler 
creates Exs24 instruments and samples just by connecting your mac to a 
midi sound source. Through the use of a suited host program as Logic, 
it's also possible to sample virtual instruments. The more advanced 
features let you create instruments that switch/fade between keymaps 
sampled with varying synthesis parameters. It’s also possible to create 
very complex sounds from multiple synth sources, using graphic mix 
volume envelopes to dynamically composite the layers of sound.

At the end of this process, ready-to-play Exs24 instruments (and 
relative samples) are automatically created.


Main Features

- Multisample multivelocity sampling of external (hardware) synth 
patches in an automated unattended way. You can set the number of 
velocity levels to be sampled, the key range and the key step to use 
for sampling (every 1 semitone, every 2 semitones, etc....). It’s also 
possible to sample virtual instruments, through the use of an 
appropriate host as Logic.

- Multidimensional sampling: you can sample and create Exs24 
instruments that switch/fade between keymaps sampled with varying 
synthesis parameters. This kind of sampling is dedicated to reproducing 
the special dynamic synthesis nuances of the original sound source 
(physical modelling paramters, special filters, etc..) from your master 
keyboard knobs.

- Creates ready-to-play Exs24 instruments without requiring specific 
user action/editing.

- Midi layers sampling mode for advanced sound design: you can 
multisample a sound generated by mixing multiple synths. Each sound 
source has an independent user definable midi volume/expression graphic 
envelope and transpose parameter for compositing the desired sound.

- Randomize and tweak functions for creating/modifying the envelopes.

- Automatic sampling with specific normalization modes, limiter, 
truncation, trimming, audio overload protection, release time detection 
(so that created instruments are already set to the proper release 
time), custom velocity maps

- Can sample whole banks of synth patches

- Imports patch names from normal text files (which can be created by 
cut/paste from SoundDiver)

- Integrated virtual keyboard and bidimensional virtual controller pad

- Comprehensive log file generation with embedded graphical snapshots 
for each sample, exportable in rich text file format and viewable in a 
dedicated window

- Standalone software for OSX 10.3.0 or later
