Everything is here: automated recording and sample naming, truncating, compression, normalization, looping, resampling, bitdepth conversion and even playing. SAMPLIT sends MIDI notes to the MIDI hardware, records all the individual sounds and creates ready-to-play Sampler instruments with just a few mouse clicks. A typical SAMPLIT session is demonstrated at the <a target="main" href="main.php?show=product&id=28&page_id=80&PHPSESSID=605ad9f49c64fc7b4e43c35872b3aafd">next page</a>.<br> <b><br> Formats:</b> SAMPLIT projects can be exported to 9 different sampler formats:</p> <table border="0" id="table2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td><a href="pics/samplit/samplit_screen_exp.png?PHPSESSID=605ad9f49c64fc7b4e43c35872b3aafd"> <img border="0" src="pics/samplit/samplit_screen_exp-.png" width="450" height="300"></a></td> <td valign="top">  <ul> <li><b>Halion</b> (Steinberg)</li> <li><b>EXS24</b> (Apple)</li> <li><b>Kontakt</b> (Native Instruments)</li> <li><b>Sampletank</b> (IK Multimedia)</li> <li><b>Reason</b> (Propellerheads)</li> <li><b>VSampler</b> (MAZ Sound Tools / Speedsoft)</li> <li><b>Soundfont SF2</b> (EMU)</li> <li><b>Gigasampler</b> (Tascam)</li> <li><b>Structure</b> (Digidesign)</li> </ul> </td> </tr> </table> <p> </p> <table border="0" id="table3" bgcolor="#FFFFD5" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="6"> <tr> <td><font color="#444444"><b>MAZ special "SAMPLIT IN ACTION" included (free!):</b> If you buy SAMPLIT now, your registration-eMail will contain a download link to a package of <b>finest "physical modelling" instruments</b> from a Korg Prophecy in HALion + Kontakt + VSampler format. In order to reduce the download size from 1 GB(!) down to 93 MB this version uses VSamplers compressed .VC3 format, instructions how to extract the samples to be used with HALion and Kontakt are included.<br> <br> <b>Additional offer:</b> You'll get the UNCOMPRESSED version of the downloadable instruments package plus more (<b>1.5 GB total</b>) on <b> CDR for free</b>, if you order at least one sampling-CD (which one doesn't matter) at www.maz-sound.com - the CDR will be included!</font></td> </tr> </table> <p><b><br> Quality:</b> SAMPLIT uses the ASIO or MME driver on PC and the CoreAudio driver on Mac.</p> <ul> <li>supported sampling rates: <b>44.1, 48, 96 kHz</b> (depending on your audio card)</li> <li>supported bit resolutions: <b>16, 24, 32 bits</b> (depending on your audio card)</li> </ul> <p>And the best is, the project file itself stays untouched and can always be converted to another format later. All operations on samples are non destructive. For example you can record a piano in 96/24 and export to a nice 96/24 piano in Kontakt format and a lighter 44/16 piano in SF2 format.</p> <p> <b>Interface:</b> The main window gives you a clear view of your current project. Anything that you do has an immediate visual impact. You can add or remove a velocity, select or deselect a note, listen to any sample (cursor keys for navigation supported), erase a sample that you don't like and re-record it ...</p> <p align="center"> <a href="pics/samplit/samplit_screen_gui.png?PHPSESSID=605ad9f49c64fc7b4e43c35872b3aafd"> <img border="0" src="pics/samplit/samplit_screen_gui-.png" width="600" height="539"></a></p> <p> <b><br> Recording:</b> With SAMPLIT, you are in control. The recording window allows you to adjust all the recording parameters in real time, supported by the yellow threshold indicators (see screenshot): threshold levels for recording start and end, pre-recording time, post-recording time, recording time limit (audio), note duration (Note Off), additional pause between the notes ... You can also decide if you want to record by velocity or by note. </p> <p align="center"> <a href="pics/samplit/samplit_screen_rec.png?PHPSESSID=605ad9f49c64fc7b4e43c35872b3aafd"> <img border="0" src="pics/samplit/samplit_screen_rec-.png"></a></p> <p> <b>Advanced looping: </b>SAMPLIT can automatically loop your samples using a sophisticated looping algorithm designed to preserve the musicality of your sounds. The picture below shows a complex orchestra string sound that has been perfectly looped. See how the loop points have been set where the waveform is similar.</p> <p align="center"> <a href="pics/samplit/samplit_screen_loop.png?PHPSESSID=605ad9f49c64fc7b4e43c35872b3aafd"> <img border="0" src="pics/samplit/samplit_screen_loop-.png" width="591" height="429"></a></p> <p> <b>Integrated player: </b>SAMPLIT includes a simple player to test your recorded instrument and to adjust basic parameters like the volume attack and release time. You can also adjust the level of normalization (for the loudest of all samples) and compression (for the relative volume of all other samples) to apply to the samples. Once you are satisfied with the results, you can then convert to your favorite sampler format. The player is also usefull to see how a new instrument will sound even if you have not finished recording all the samples.</p> <p align="center"> <a href="pics/samplit/samplit_screen_play.png?PHPSESSID=605ad9f49c64fc7b4e43c35872b3aafd"> <img border="0" src="pics/samplit/samplit_screen_play-.png" width="608" height="241"></a></p> <p> <b>Sampling of multipe MIDI programs: </b>Every program inside a project records the bank change, program change and control change. When you select that program, all these MIDI parameters are sent back to your MIDI synth like a total recall. </p> <p> <b>Sampling of VSTi/DXi or other soft-synths:</b> You got certain soft-synths with just one or two great sounds or you don't like to handle all the different interfaces? Collect them all in your sampler! All you need to connect SAMPLIT to your soft-synth is a virtual MIDI cable (e.g. the free <a target="_blank" href="http://www.hardnote.com/maple.htm">Maple Virtual Midi Cable</a>).</p> <p> <b>Sampling of Audio-CDs or "real world" sounds: </b>SAMPLIT  doesn't need a MIDI interface to be a big time- and trouble-saver! You can record any kind of non-MIDIfied sounds with the help of SAMPLITs automatic threshold detection + truncating + key mapping: Sampling-CDs in Audio-CD format, real instruments, human voice, special effects, animals ...</p> <p> <b>Instrument design: </b>SAMPLIT can record several instruments and combine them to one instrument using <b>Key switch</b> or <b>MIDI controller switch</b> or <b>crossfade</b>. For example you can record 5 different piano sounds from your MIDI keyboard, combine them in one new HALion instrument and use the Modwheel to switch from one piano sound to another.</p> <p align="center"> <a href="pics/samplit/samplit5.png?PHPSESSID=605ad9f49c64fc7b4e43c35872b3aafd"> <img border="0" src="pics/samplit/samplit5-.png" width="178" height="100"></a>           <a href="pics/samplit/samplit6.png?PHPSESSID=605ad9f49c64fc7b4e43c35872b3aafd"> <img border="0" src="pics/samplit/samplit6-.png" width="128" height="100"></a></p> </td></tr></table>
