So Algonaut has finally announced a very long awaited update to Atlas. https://algonaut.audio/ and they have added a lot of new features including the expected sequencer, midi import and export for it, new sample map mode amongst others.

I think a lot of people gave up on them after the very long term of silence but i think they now have a very good product in version 2, would be interesting to see how it compares to others

Looks great, decent price as well.

I wish XO would update, I’m beginning to think I may have backed the wrong horse!

Here’s what’s new if you already own V1 https://algonaut.audio/whats-new-in-atlas-2-0/

Looks a bit like drum sequencer in Reason (which is great) but with more steps.

Is Atlas just for drum samples?

I might be wrong, but isn't Sononym the tool that goes beyond just drum samples?

Oh they actually added a standalone version, which I wanted but didn't even bother asking, because the pressure always goes HARD the other way (from standalone to plugin-only).

I own Sononym too, it is not that fast for drums, since it only searches one sample at a time, and you have to tweak the algorithm most of the time (especially if you keep switching between searching loops and drum hits).

I wonder how soon is "soon".

Must be sooner than when it wasn't soon.

A bit off topic, but how fast is Atlas when working with a really big sample library? I understand Atlas is quite different from Sononym, but I'm looking for something that's can find files fast - and with a big library Sononym is like walking in sticky mud.

When i looked at atlas/xo and so on and that shortly after release, atlas was significantly slower than XO. One of the reasons I went with XO. Things might have changed since then tho. I would install the demo and give it a shot.

Atlas 2.0 - First Impressions

Also, facebook post says "Atlas 2 out this month". More precisely " First half of June. Not long now."

That looks awesome! I can see a few XO licences going up on the marketplace soon (including mine!)...there has been almost no development on XO since it was released, ATLAS 2 seems to have nailed about every feature that has been requested for XO (I wonder if the DEV followed the XO FR thread on KVR!)

Anyway, great job...deserves to be very successful by the looks of that video.

Algonaut Atlas 2 finally announced. New buyers get 2 for free, 19$ upgrade for others.
