AutoSampler

Main Features
- Multisample multivelocity sampling of midi synth patches in an automated unattended way from coreaudio audio devices. You can set the number of velocity levels to be sampled, the key range and the key step to use for sampling (every 1 semitone, every 2 semitones, etc....)

- Multidimensional sampling: you can sample instruments with all the variations created by up to 2 parameters controlling by midi cc the midi synth, to be used in sampling, and reproduced on playback.

- Creates ready-to-play Exs24 instruments without requiring specific user action/editing.

- Midi layer sampling mode for advanced sound design: you can multisample a sound generated by mixing multiple synths. Each sound source has an independent user definable midi volume/expression graphic envelope and transpose parameter for compositing the final sound.

- Automatic sampling with specific normalization modes, limiter, truncation, audio overload protection, release time detection, custom velocity maps- Can sample whole banks of synth patches

- Imports patch names from normal text files (which can be created by cut/paste from SoundDiver)

- Integrated virtual keyboard and bidimensional virtual controller pad

- Comprehensive exportable log file generation with embedded graphical snapshots for each sample

- Standalone software for OSX 10.3.9 or higher

How it works

AutoSampler has been designed to be as simple as possible to operate: the software samples a midi synth/sampler connected to your mac through midi and audio cables. The midi synth is sent a sequence of notes at various pitches, velocities and each sample is recorded, trimmed, normalized, saved and automatically inserted at the appropriate place in newly created Exs24 instruments.

The whole concept works also when sampling a virtual instruments, through the use of an appropriate host, such as Logic. At the basic level, you decide which patches and notes you want to sample and the number of velocity levels you prefer. For each patch you decide to sample, a new Exs instrument/sample-set ready to load and play will be created. Additionally, through use of the advanced features of Exs24mk2 playback engine (we'll call it just Exs24 from now on) , it's also possible to create a multidimensionally sampled (MDS) Exs24 instrument by sampling a complete keymap for each of the possible different value combinations of a set of 2 user specified midi synth controller (panel knobs, sliders or any synth parameter that accepts a midi controller input). Once created, this complex Exs24 instrument will playback a different sample set depending on how you set the designated controllers on you master keyboard. A possible application of this feature is for sampling a physical modeling midi synth, where the chosen controllers map to some complex parameters (string stiffness, inharmonicity, etc.). The result is that the generated Exs24 instrument better retains the subtleties and dynamic characteristics of the original synth patch.
