New Collaboration / Messe Report / Synthesizer Magazine Review

2009/06/11 Rumours were afloat that there might be a collaboration of Yellow Tools and SKYLIFE. Indeed, it is true. For future releases SKYLIFE will use the software sampler Independence Player which works perfectly together with SampleRobot and which provides the user with extensive sound shaping functions. That way you can integrate the upcoming SampleRobot instruments into all common recording applications.

At this year's Musikmesse in Frankfurt / Main there was a buzz of activity around SampleRobot at the booth of ESI Audiotechnik. Apart from a live sampling session including some vintage treasures, the demonstrator Holger Steinbrink could convince quite a few prospective customers of the new sampling possibilities. Subsequently there are some impressions. Here you can find a demonstration video (in German language) from last year's Messe.

Author Stefan Heinrichs from the German Synthesizer Magazine comes up with some pleasing test results for SampleRobot in issue 13 (March/April 2009). Thanks to editor in chief Andreas Michel for providing us with the review. You can read it here (in German language).

Here are some quotes from the review:

"Private users and travelling musicians are able to sound-copy their favourite instruments with SampleRobot. ... Gear that is only used rarely in the studio, but you cannot let go because of some special sounds, it can now be copied extensively and multifariously. Then there should not be a reason for keeping it any longer."

"The automatic functions for the loop section are still unbeaten in this software segment. They deliver nearly always good results."

"The recoding and automation of MIDI data is ingeniously implemented."

"After the sampling process you can export the multi-samples. For this reason SampleRobot 3 supports almost all available software samplers (MachFive, Logic EXS 24, Halion, Reason NN-XT etc.) and also hardware samplers that can import standard WAV files. ... This offers professional sound designers a broad business segment."
