Sounds very interesting quinto! I look forward to a demo. If the slicer works good, then I could see this being an easy way to pick apart drum tracks.
Anti-aliasing is for "synthmonk%ys".

Sounds good quint.
Interested in having a small peak at this myself when it becomes available.

Yes, there will be a Mac VSTi version. But I need some time to setup the Mac and the development kit and start testing. This is a very simple software with a very very complicated engine inside, I'm not sure about easy porting to Mac, this is why I need some time...rockin1 wrote:Will there be a Mac version of this software?

any ideas on how much audio manipulation will be possible? i find you can do creative things with even the most basic stuff like reverse, pitch, etc.
also, any possiblity of grouping slices together for the purposes of easier manipulation? i realize the difficulties in this, here's the basic usage from the end-user point of view:
i load up some drum part, maybe shift-left-click all the snare slices, and then i can adjust the pitch of all of them simultaneously. makes sense?
also, for the sample browser, people seem to really love "up" and "down" buttons right on the GUI (example: the ReDrum unit in Properllerhead Software's Reason).

@SleepyP:
Actually this is not intended for creative use. The original idea was to eliminate need for multi-file handling with multitracks, and to set completely free time and pitch.
What I like in this sw is that you should forget about wavs. Load wavs, slice them, forget about them. Or receive the sw with wavs already sliced.
Then you have loops and shots and you can build your song in midi an mix the drums in multitrack, like in pro-mastering. But without 10 tracks messing your host. And without thinking about tempo or pitch.
And setting auto-quantize and variations in realtime. The same loop should play slightly different while looping...
If the sw will be interesting, it probably will evolve for a more creative use (or be inspiration for another one, with the same technology inside).
What I mean is that this vsti shouldn't be another Intakt. It uses time-stretching, overlapped sounds sound good (because it isn't beat-slice-based, like ReCycle)

Seems like with very few adjustments this could be an amazing Dj tool.
(anyone familiar with Electrix Repeater will see what I mean)
Imagine loading banks of loops (say each bank is a loop of 4 intruments). All parts would be in sync. Add a seperate pattern section that has controls for each parts' loop offset, gating, pitch, direction, etc. (yes like live). The audio and patterns can be mixed and matched. 4 audio outs, one for each part.
(add an MP3 loading support, an input and recording and you have a real bad-ass tool!)
I guess this is nothing like what you intended.
