the winner of their Editors Choice Award in the magazine and on
their website. Samplitude is their best choice for "Audio
Editing Software". |
| Samplitude
11 Pro Introduction Samplitude is purely native PC software and therefore independent of proprietary audio hardware. Basically, that means the program works just as well on a laptop as on an audio workstation with dozens of inputs and outputs. Simply pre-produce a song on a laptop and then complete the mixing later using a studio system. Samplitude provides all of the freedom you need to choose your own system. MME, ASIO*, and WDM support all important driver models. In contrast to other digital audio workstations, Samplitude enables a complete in-the-box workflow, whereby all steps, from composition recording and sound creation using VST instruments to editing, mixing, and mastering the finished CD, take place within a single program. |
999 tracks,
64 submix busses, 64 aux send busses,ASIO*, MME and WDM driver support,

The revolver
tracks system is a type of rotation that may be used to replace
various takes of a complete track behind the defined effects, fades
and track settings. Different compositions of the track may also
be produced. Different solos and parts may be easily switched back and forth in context, or exchanged and tested against each other in their effect in the final mix, without making any other changes in the arrangement. You may choose at any time if you would like to add a revolver track as a copy (e.g. for variation of effects or fades),or if you would like to create a new, empty revolver track. The time the respective variation was added to the original track is also displayed. The revolver tracks created can be displayed at any time in the Take Composer in a a clearly laid-out manner. |

MIDI Machine
Control This function is often referred to as “MMC” and ensures complete control of DAW's MIDI. Samplitude is able to function as MMC "Slave" or "Master": The program may be controlled remotely by external controllers or mixers with MMC support (= Slave), or an external device of your choice may be controlled by the software (track mute, track solo, play, record, etc.) (= Master), e.g. to actively control external hardware controllers. Of course, synchronization with a second sequencer is possible, e.g. to enable backup recordings. In this case, one of Samplitude's functions as the master to control the second instance of the program - from a single work area. |

The
inexpensive solution for professional recording, editing, mixing
and mastering with up to 32 Bit/192 kHz. The configuration covers
all non-destructive handling tools, such as the unique object editor:
A tool that not only permits any kind of fade and time manipulation
in real time, but also makes the high quality mastering effects
available to each individual track of the final master. All the
common mastering and internet audio formats are supported. Breaking
through the previous 2 GB limit for individual file sizes, the recording
and editing of complete broadcast or classical productions is now
enabled for up to 32 bits and 192 kHz. Of course, the final master
can be burnt on-the-fly from the arrangement as a Red Book-compatible
audio CD, without destructive calculation steps having to be taken
beforehand. |

Compared
to similar high-end consoles, one of Samplitude’s undisputed
strengths is its absolute sound neutrality. The sound always remains
full, transparent and deep. Highly-developed digital algorithms,
absolute phase stability and constant use of floating point computation
ensures that the sound retains its positive sound nuances during
intensive digital editing. These are: transparency, neutrality,
preservation of transients and stereo field, best possible receive
of the signal form. Samplitude now comes with POW r, a high-quality
dither algorithm. Developed and patented by the POW r Consortium,
it reduces word lengths of 20, 24 or 32 bits to the standardized
16 bit CD format with a high degree of perceptible signal dynamics
and low noise level. ASIO™ driver support |

The
real-time room simulator integrated in version 7 is a revolutionary
development. In contrast to conventional reverb devices or plug-ins
that use a reverb algorithm, it uses convoluting technology to compute
the reverb signal in conjunction with a three-dimensional sound
sample. This allows you to simulate the characteristics of, for
example, top recording studios, medieval churches or even world-famous
concert halls. It only needs a so-called Impulse Response: This
is the natural decay of a sharp, high-impact like sound such as
a gunshot or similar. It contains all the necessary information
to exactly replicate the room reverb. The result is astonishing,
sounding as though it were recorded in the original space. This
effect surpasses even the most expensive effects. In Real-time!
A library of more than 450 MB high-quality Impulse Responses from
digital effect devices and real rooms is delivered with Samplitude
7. These impulses were created in an especially developed and large-scaled
process to capture the best sound and extremly high signal-to-noise
ratio. |
 |
In Samplitude professional, the Room Simulator is available as a real-time effect in objects, tracks, AUX busses and master channels . The impulse response can be manipulated with the dialog parameters, or you can simply select a type of impulse response. A graphic display of the impulse response and additional fade-curves allow you to get a visual overview of the impulse response manipulation via the Room Simulator dialog. Different levels of quality and latency are employed to guarantee real-time processing even on lower performance systems. Envelope curves can be manipulated with a draw function. Early and late reflection and the length of the impulse response can also be manipulated. A complete linear phase FFT equalizer for impulse response sound formulation. |

The Samplitude MIDI editor has been extensively enhanced. It now takes a non-modal form, i.e. it can be opened at the same time as the activated arrangement without blocking the operation of other elements. Optically and ergonomically improved, with wider notes for better handling, auto scroll mode, auto soft scroll mode, scroll wheel support, greater zoom factors. Editing fields for simpler input/alteration of positions, note values, etc. (including note length input). Separate quantization for the start and end of notes. Selectable quantization grid display, quantization snap function, enhanced quantization settings (strength in %, swing, offset, tuplets), selectable number of octaves displayed and selectable Editor width (depending upon screen resolution). A viewable event list, draw and edit mouse mode, enhanced mouse handling (note begin: horizontal shift, note middle: vertical shift, note end: change length). MIDI Panic option, import and export MIDI files in the Editor. Color-coordinated display of beat density (can be edited). Vertical centering: When opening the editor the display is centered around the existing notes. MMC Support (Samplitude professional only) |
| Virtual instruments
|
VST instruments can now be integrated with virtual projects in Samplitude 7 professional. The instrument output signal is fully integrated in the samplitude mixer for subsequent editing with effects. The VST instruments can be selected from the list of MIDI playing devices. You can then load one VST instrument per track. The instrument can be triggered by all MIDI objects on the track. The MIDI IN signal can be used as a control element with both MIDI recording (right-click on the REC button and select MIDI recording) and ASIO software FX monitoring. The Editor and/or the GUI (graphic user interface) of the instrument opens automatically when you load the VST instrument. Once loaded, VST instruments are assigned numbers and added to the device list from where they can also be used by other tracks. If you select such a numbered plug-in, the MIDI data of the track is sent to the loaded plug-in. If the GUI is poorly designed or robs too much screen space, you have the option of displaying 8 plug-in parameters as slide controls. VST instrument settings can be saved and loaded in either patch. Multiple output VST instruments are supported by Samplitude. Additional tracks for each output can be added as the instrument is loaded. Every VIP track output can be routed. Several outputs can be routed to one track. |
