plasq has released Musolomo, a "revolutionary" free sampler instrument designed for live use, initially available as an AudioUnit for OSX with a Windows VST version planned if there is enough interest.

With Ultra streamlined sampling and playback work flow, you can sample, play and manipulate, all from your MIDI keyboard. Free yourself from the visual tie of the computer screen and mouse clicks. Look at your band members and the audience instead.

Key Features:

• Sample, copy, and erase without the need to look at a computer screen.
• Peripheral vision feedback design (the flashing border).
• Record and play sync before and after play and record.
• Revolutionary Digi Skip technology, allowing time-jumping.
• Speedster inspired technology for timestretching to host tempo, re-pitching.
• Legato, Bo, Scratchet, tape speed and (the cool) Freeze.
• Autolooper allowing very easy on-the-fly loop making.
• Play through modes great for 'break-downs'.
• Handy in-built help screen.
• MIDI-assignable.
