Redmatica Announces Updates To Existing Line And New Products

Today Redmatica announces updates and changes for its existing product line, unveils the full details about Keymap, and presents Redmatica Compendium, a bundle of the Redmatica sampling suite, expanding the built-in sampling capabilities of Exs24 and Logic Pro/Express in a radical way.

Updates:

ExsManager 2.9

• The fastest way to manage Exs24 libraries
• Delete or move duplicates and unused samples at blazing speed
• Optimized instrument load time
• Automatically reorganizes samples using several selectable methods
• Exclusive SampleMerge™ process allows for even faster instrument loading (up to 70% faster)
• Recommended by the Vienna Symphonic Library company
• New in 2.9: now Universal Binary. Runs at native speed on all Macs without using Rosetta
• New in 2.9: Intel *and* Power PC vector optimizations for faster processing
• Free update for existing users (an industry first: no paid update since first release in October 2003)
• Same old price for new customers, 80.00Eur/105.00USD
• Available February, 10th

AutoSampler 1.5

• Resamples any MIDI and Virtual Instruments source
• Converts those sounds in multisampled, multivelocity, ready to play, Exs24 instruments
• Useful for conversions from unsupported synths/platforms too
• One-click operations, no editing required
• Can sample whole banks
• Designed to work completely unattended
• New in 1.5: now Universal Binary. Runs at native speed on all Macs without using Rosetta
• New in 1.5: Intel *and* Power PC vector optimizations for faster processing
• Free update for existing users
• Same old price for new customers 100.00Eur/130.00USD
• Available February, 10th

  Changes to the current lineup:
  As of today the ExsManager OSX Standard Edition is no longer available for purchase. The Standard Edition will still be supported with a free Universal Binary 2.9 release in February, incorporating all the latest fixes and improvements and available only to existing users. Existing users can upgrade to ExsManager 2.9 (Pro) for the same old price of 55 Euro/70 USD

  New products

  Keymap
  Advanced Sampled Instruments Editor The most advanced and innovative editor, already Universal Binary

  • Tessellation engine
  Layer based editing (non overlapping zones in each layer), with volume, pan and parametric controls over crossfades
  Unlimited number of layers
  Tessellation engine provides a novel way to edit your zones, by automatically splitting/creating/deleting zones based on various modes
  Dynamics remap envelope for each layer
  Remap functions:
  Remap velocity
  Remap to range
  Remap to white/black/all keys and more
  Simplify mapping (creates simpler instruments from complex ones)
  Expand mapping
  Full note *and* velocity crossfading capabilities
  Autocreate crossfades for note and/or velocities
  Modify crossfades in a quick parametric way for each layer
  Crossfades visualized through use of overlayed transparency maps
  Zone/Layer and Group editors constantly updated
  Easy to change several parameters at once over a selection
  
  • Surround support
  All sample functions supports multichannel wav and aiff sample files (up to 16 channels)
  Integral surround map editor for visualizing and remapping outputs
  Channels for each independent sample file can be remapped to independent busses
  Double indirection system allows easy and simple remapping of outs to Exs24 outs
  • Sample editor
  The fastest sample overview creation available: most of the times it's so fast that it's not even saved back to disk.
  Precise, responsive zoom system allows visualization from/to any sample location.
  Realtime adjustable fade in/fade out envelopes
  Additional microfade envelopes specially shaped to eliminate clicks
  Streaming engine based

  • Setup editor
  Allows easy creation of layered and splitted instruments in "setups", which can be later saved as individual merged Exs24 instruments
  Unlimited number of instruments
  Transpose and velocity shift, note and velocity limits
  • Advanced Autolooping
  The most advanced autolooping algorithm available coupled with the simplest interface.
  Works with harmonic sounds, and also with full polyphonic or rhythmic segments.
  Very intuitive "select and find best loop" control
  Requires no additional user parameters
  Loop Rephase function allows setting any point in a loop as starting point
  
  • Advanced Automapping
  Pitch and power detection allows creation of automapped sounds from an appropriate recording, with a single click
  The file is splitted in regions, and then each region is trimmed, pitch detected, looped, and mapped over the keyboard with full note and velocity crossfading
  Support for automapping of percussive instruments.
  Support for automapping of percussive instruments with variations for each sound/velocity.
  • Realtime Harmonic Resynthesis
  Independent and continuous manipulation of the four main sound parameters: pitch, amp, formant and time, for each sample containing monophonic harmonic content
  Everything is modifiable and playable in realtime, either from the editor, or from the keyboard
  Each parameter has an independent envelope curve that is first created from sample analysis, and can then be manipulated in any way
  Graphical tools allows editing of the envelopes in novel ways (draw, reset, expand, reduce, etc)
  Pitch envelope can be manipulated in order to easily correct sample tuning, or to copy/paste vibrato shapes among samples
  Time envelope allows loop length equalization (i.e. setting all loops to the same length), overall sample length changes, and other changes of the time characteristics of the sample
  Formant envelope allows for very interesting sound design, like changing the overall character of an instrument
  Amp envelope allows direct manipulation of the sample amplitude, so that you can draw the overall shape, and provides a simple way to eliminate the decay from decaying samples
  Fine tuned randomize functions allows creation of "slightly different" sounds from a single set of samples for added realism
  • Loop remix
  A system for the creation of new rhythmic loops from old ones.
  Takes a rhythmic loop, splits it in pieces, and remixes them in realtime in a simple and intuitive way using just a few keyboard buttons.
  No clicks: a complex yet simple to use continuous-crossfade system smooths the loop segments with several shapes and amounts
  When you like the results, a single key stores that loop away for later use in the instruments, or as a new sample.
  When used with automapping, the same single key action can also automap each new loop over keys
  • Magic pads
  Simple innovation that makes the life in studio so much easier.
  Designed to avoids repetitive editing tasks in several real-world situations
  A bar containing some drag and drop pads let you create new instruments from scratch, just by dropping sample/instrument files
  Each pad has a set of actions performed over the dropped filess: as example, "split, trim and automap".
  
  • For Exs24
  You already have a very high performance sample playback engine in Logic.
  Performance obtained by splitting the editing and playback capabilities: each app does its best.
  One of the oldest and most supported formats around.
  Not a Logic user? Exs24 is imported by all major sample players.
  All apart, Clemens is a genius.
