Skylife updates SampleRobot line to v6.5 - Support for Sequential Prophet X, Bitwig Studio and Synthstrom deluge

9th December 2019 - KVR Audio News

Skylife has updated the SampleRobot line to version 6.5. The new version includes support for Sequential Prophet X, Bitwig Studio and Synthstrom deluge. SampleRobot has also optimized the audio sampling process that works with a lot of software and hardware instruments already. For the upgrade Skylife has expanded the export capabilities of SampleRobot Pro. There are three new supported formats and the possibility to sample plugins in high speed via offline bouncing.

Sequential Prophet X (Pro and Multi-X)
With the support of Sequential and users in the PX community Skylife has implemented Prophet X export in SampleRobot 6.5 Pro. SampleRobot works inside the sample structure of the Prophet X. The user can export the desired sample sets and then import a whole bank into the Prophet X in one go. With SampleRobot's downsampling option you can keep your original recording quality in the project and export the optimized samples for your hardware.

Bitwig Studio (Pro and Multi-X)
In SampleRobot 6.5 Pro there are standard Bitwig property tags to categorize your multisamples. This way you can build up your personal sample library and quickly browse and load new instruments in Bitwig Studio. Skylife received full support from Berlin-based Bitwig company which made the documentation public to include this feature in SampleRobot Pro.

Synthstrom deluge (Pro and Multi-X)
Building a connecting bridge from SampleRobot to the Synthstrom deluge has been achieved in this update as well. Users can now bypass time-consuming browsing and adding of samples via the 4-digit display on the deluge. During the SampleRobot export all necessary data is created in the right directories on the deluge's SD card to allow instant access to your favorite sample sets. Turning the dedicated knob on the deluge will browse the created sample instruments directly.

VST2 sampling with offline bouncing (Pro and Multi-X)
The sampling process can eat a lot of time when it comes to creating high quality sample libraries. When recording acoustic instruments you have to record each note as long as it takes to capture it properly. But for virtual instruments there is a trick that Skylife used in SampleRobot 6.5 Pro to dramatically shorten the sampling time. With the new offline bouncing option the rendering of the samples in the included VST2 host is done with full processor speed. This means that users will save up to 80% time compared to previous versions. If you are heading for quality samples using your custom plugin sounds as a source there is no reason to make compromises any more because of the sampling time.
