OK... time to purchase Bliss! Thanks for adding the stop at next slice marker function- works great. The slicing on this thing is probably the best I've come across. I think my sampler quest has finally ended as it relates to that elusive sound I've been seeking in software samplers. It's like it has an MPC like sound character or you can make it sound as high end or LoFi as you want. I haven't tested plug-in sampling or sf import, so no feedback on that yet.

Hopefully in a future update- sample audition in the audio or zone import browser- will be added so you can hear what you're importing. The CPU in beta 2, is very low in maschine2. I also noticed that turning off the reverb makes the CPU hit so low, that maschine's CPU meter shows nothing after that!

Question: Can you audition or scrub highlighted sections of a sample?

Yes, sample audition is considered.

Not yet. Cheers!

There was a little quirk with OS X Demo asking for the license file. It's fixed now, please download again.

There is a workaround to scrub highlighted sections of a sample. Create a cue, that should act as sample offset. You can then click cue number and drag the mouse to scrub playback. Assigning a Macro to 003 - Offset Start will make you able to automate it.

Hi
Nice sounding sampler!

A little bug for you:

When "zone->replace sample"
It changes the keyrange. Fom drum mode to entire keyboard

So what about sharing some sampled VST instruments? I'll post them at Bliss Library http://bliss.discodsp.net site

I have released back in 2014 a sample library call FB-01 (FM Synth) for Kontakt.
I can give you some multi instruments
