dmu audio has released Arcade2, a "randomized sample folder animator for inspirational purposes". It loads wave file folders into RAM and lets you play random combinations out of it.

Arcade2 animates the fundamentals of sample playback: file, pitch, start/end/loop points, direction, pan, volume.

Features:

• 2 playback engines with separate stereo outputs.
• 4 multi-mode and self-modulating custom lf-animators.
• 2 additional step animators.
• 1 randomly-stepped detail refresher.
• Randomness based on user input.
• MIDI out with 8 random sliding CC values to animate external FX with MIDI note messages.

Arcade2 is available as a VSTi for Windows and is free / donationware.
