PRESS RELEASE
Sampler Advanced Sound-Design Instrument
July 15, 2006
Advertisement Ableton is proud to announce Sampler, an advanced sound-design and sound-sculpting instrument available as an upgrade within Ableton Live 6. In addition to providing perfect host integration, Sampler offers fresh sound-design possibilities through its unique processing and modulation options. When combined within Ableton's Instrument and Effect Racks in Live 6, multiple Samplers provide unprecedented depth of control, automation and sonic possibilities. "Sampler is a powerful sound design tool that takes advantage of all that Live 6 has to offer," said Ableton CEO and co-founder Gerhard Behles. "More importantly, Sampler's interface is familiar to the Live user, which results in a painless learning curve and maximum fun inside the program." In the Zone Most importantly, Sampler integrates perfectly with Live. Its GUI will be instantly familiar to users accustomed to Live's look and feel. Its short loading times and efficient handling of large-volume libraries provide the sensation of a light-weight yet powerful engine. As with any Ableton instrument, users can modulate Sampler's controls with clip envelopes, stack Samplers, attach effects and save projects including all samples used by Sampler to send to a colleague for collaboration. Format Friendly Unique Processing and Modulation • Modulation. A dedicated oscillator can modulate samples by frequency or amplitude, enabling selective harmonic or disharmonic enrichment of the original timbres. • Morphing. Every voice is processed with a "morphable" multimode filter and polyphonic saturation stage. Each aspect of the original sample, including sample start and loop position as well as loop length, can be polyphonically modulated. • And More Modulation. Three LFOs, five multimode envelopes and various MIDI inputs serve as modulation sources. • The ability to modulate not only post processing but also the sample playback characteristics extends the instrument's functionality in the direction of wavetable and granular synthesis.
