I'm gonna shamelessly plug shortcircuit here. I've been twiddling with it for the past few hours and I'm in LOVE. It gave me the same feeling I got when I tried tracktion the first time. I wouldn't be surprised if many T users found it appealing.. It's like putting T's sampler on steroids, but maintaining the simplicity. Anyway... the link is floating over there in the news area.

I'll check it out. I remember I tryed the beta but there was something missing with it I cant remember what at the moment. Anyways it does look dope.

Mod,

This look interesting, I see that the download (or Shortcircuit Free) is an .exe file.

Can you tell me what the install does?

(I much prefer zip files, with a readme, before I install anything new).

The full version is 187 euros though (including VAT).

TIA

as i suggested in ttozs hoax bob thread ...

... how cool if mackie were to license shortcircuit and tweak it to be the T2 native sampler ???

BY GOD! this sampler is freaking amazing! ARGHH I wish it wasnt so expensive! Now this is what T2 should have, DEFiNATELY. I wish.

Oh well

It just installs in into your vst dir... I dunno whatsup with devs thinking they need installers for VSTs. It's so much easier to just get a dll.. but I digress. Beyond that, it's been working nicely thus far. The price is a bit on the steep end, but I can see using this free version for a bit with drums.

For what it is, 150eu is a steal. Thanks to the dollar being a junk currency that doesn't work out especially cheap for us, but compared to the competition it is still good value IMHO.

Personally, I think I may have to call some favours in on some UK friends, as they can buy this for next to nothing. 8)

the free version's just limited to 2 note polyphony i think.. which makes for a great demo.

Sorry to disturb your enthusiasm...

I accidentaly stepped in to the beta-test program of shortcircuit some weeks ago. (When the first pre-release was announced here at KvR)

Wasn't impressed too much - already removed it from my setup.

But maybe it's not the way I work with samples!? :?

horses for courses as ever ...

... i have vsampler3 but VERY rarely use it ...

... i have sfz+ and only use it rarely for playing a few soundfonts ...

... i have slifty and LOVE it (but it rarely finds a way into tracks TBH) ...

... ive tried the kontakt demo a few times and HATE it ...

... havent even tried halion - it just looks bad to me ...

... have been playing with shortcircuit free on and off all day - some cash is probably heading in the direction of the full version shortly ...
