Hello kvraudio community,

I'm looking for a sampler like plugin which should be able to
1. Record audio send to the plugin the host triggered by midi
2. Play this Audio on midi signal without modification
3. Assign the recorded audio to a keyboard so that the pitch (and eventually also the time stretch) can be controlled by midi note signals
4. Preferably freeware though I know that this may not be possible for my requirements.

I already looked at tx16wx which can do pretty much all of that + some stuff I don't need. The problem is that you can't trigger recording through midi.

Looking forward to any replies.

I use Ableton Live 8 Suite. It's called Sampler. Sorry I don't know of any good free samplers.

Try searching the database here at KVR. Type in sampler. You can choose free or paid.

I already looked through quite a lot of the sampler/sampler players but pretty much all of them miss the recording feature and a lot of them miss the ability to control it using midi.
What would a plugin with the functionally I'm looking for be called? Is it just sampler or also something like recorded, drum kit, and so on?

For your information: in the latest build of tx16wx you can actually toggle the recording by midi cc and midi note.elcallio implemented it into an experimental build after I talked about this need in the forums. Also while I was "waiting" for this feature to be implemented I was able to partially implement a sampler in my own host.

Instant Sampler by Muxer
http://www.kvraudio.com/product/instantsampler_by_muxer
records audio when a MIDI-note is played for the first time and plays the recorded audio on repetition of the same note.
It does not save the sampled audio. Changes will be lost when the session closes, but it's a great tool for live gigs or when the sampled audio is reachable in the same project.

Not sure if it fills all your needs (you'd need to look it up in the specs) but FXPansion's Geist is pretty deep (almost a DAW in essence).
