Soundlib updates Samplit to v2

Samplit allows for recording and sampling internal or external audio and MIDI sources to create sound libraries that are compatible with GigaStudio/G-Player, Kontakt, HALion, EXS24, SoundFont or NN-XT.

The software offers two Automatic and Semi-Automatic modes. In the first mode, Samplit send a MIDI note to your plug-in or external MIDI device and waits until a sound is produced to start recording. The software detects the start and end points to record a clean sample and repeats the process for all notes and velocities you want.

The semi-automatic mode will be used when the sound cannot be controlled via MIDI. Samplit will guide you by playing a reference sound in your headphones so you know which note to play ;  il will also display the note and its velocity and will wait until you play this note to start recording.

Once recorded the sounds, Samplit offers multiple tools to easily create sound libraries for your sampler: security buffer for the sample start and end detection, clipping warning, auto-loop, sample volume compensation, VCA release time detection and more.

Version 2 adds very interesting new features:

• 8-track audio mixer, each track can be assigned to a virtual instrument or the input of your audio interface (you can also mix virtual and MIDI instruments), with separate volume, pano, EQ and audio effect controls
• Sample reverse feature
• Built-in player with volume, pitch bend, pitch tracking, VCA envelope, velocity response and filter
• 64-bit support

Samplit 2 is a standalone software for Mac OS X and Windows. It is available for $139 and you can download a trial version from www.soundlib.com/samplit/.
