ESP (Easy sample player)

Please download from our site only - other sites providing a direct download aren't authorised to do so and may even charge for membership before allowing a download (royally ripping people off). Downloading from any site other than Samplesphere you are also risking the integrity of the files being corrupt or tampered with.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Quickly add up to six incidental samples to a project with a choice of basic playback behaviours and comprehensive MIDI control and automation options. (Right click anything for available MIDI control.)

Load 16 or 24-bit WAV files of any sample rate. Play samples from/to any position within them using the Start/End parameters. Play one shot, looped, reversed and pitched - semitone and fine. Both semitone and fine pitching have a range of 2 octaves up/down and can be used in conjunction with each other (play speed will increase/decrease when pitched).

Although samples can be mapped to play on a range of keys, there is no tracking, i.e. samples will play at the same pitch for the entire set range. ESP is not suitable to create chromatic instruments.

Play modes:

• Start - Plays one shot from start/end point to end/start point (depending on play direction) or looped between these points.
• Start 2 - Plays from start/end point to end/start point (depending on play direction) but loops between Start 2 and end/start points. Looping must be set to On, Fade or ZeroX for Start 2 to operate.

Looping options:

• Off - One shot.
• On - Standard.
• Fade - Fades in/out around loop point.
• ZeroX - Attempts to find zero crossings of adjusted positions (can reduce or eliminate clicking).

There is also an option to use a file's embedded loop.

MIDI channel and audio output options for each slot.

Interface colours can be edited for the background and for each slot.

Mouse-over help is incorporated into the interface.

A small set of files, used in the preset examples, is included.

The interface is a little larger than indicated here - A true representation on the download page.

Appreciation to Jeff McClintock for SynthEdit and also to David Haupt, Rob Herder, Daz Disley and Kelly Lynch for their excellent SynthEdit modules.
