Skylife updates SampleRobot product line to v6.2

Skylife has updated their SampleRobot product line to version 6.2. This update is now available for SampleRobot Pro, Multi-X, Korg+Wave and SampleRobot Montage. The new version 6.2 offers advanced VST2 plugin sampling, a new input/output panel, wave and aiff drag & drop functionality, extended semi- automatic recording and many performance optimizations.

VST2 Host and plugin sampling (SampleRobot Pro only)

The integrated VST2 plugin host is now optimized for CPU-performance and VST2 plugin compatibility. It is also integrated into the Project Wizard that helps setting up complex sampling projects in a few steps.

Input/Output panel

When sampling with multiple interfaces and different audio and MIDI ports it is hard to keep the overview. The new I/O panel is designed to make input and output assignment easy and comprehensible. Once a project is created it can be quickly re-assigned to a new input configuration including all contained multisample layers.

Wave and Aiff file drag&drop

Drag&drop is included in version 6.2. One or more wave/aiff files can be dragged to the virtual keyboard in SampleRobot who will then give some import options in return. Root-keys can be detected from the embedded file data or from the filenames to allow automatic mapping along the keyboard. Loop information can be extracted from the files as well. It is possible to combine existing samples to new instruments and to export them as various multisample formats including up- and downsampling and various stereo mapping and loop options.

Extended semi-automatic mode

With now up to 1000 seconds of recording time for each sample in semi-automatic (non-Midi) recording mode you can even sample whole music tracks and longer sound design atmospheres. Building construction kits for film music and sound design that can be performed live to picture was never easier.

SampleRobot 6.2 is fully compatible with Mac OS X Mojave and the latest Windows 10 build. Compared to previous releases the CPU power consumption on Mac could be reduced up to 50%.
