ESI SKYLIFE SAMPLEROBOT 2

SampleRobot 2 from ESI Skylife clones real musical Instruments and turns them into Software Instruments automatically!

SampleRobot 2 is able to digitize any kind of instrument. When cloning MIDI gear, SampleRobot 2 even works completely on its own. Just connect your instrument via MIDI and audio with your computer. SampleRobot 2 will then "suck out" the sounds from the unit. If you like you can clone a whole synthesizer sound bank in one go. The good thing is that you can export your hardware instrument as various software sampler formats after the sampling process. You can play your new virtual instrument as if you would play your real instrument. Of course, you can clone the attack velocity characteristics of your original instrument as well. SampleRobot 2 also enables you to transfer acoustic instruments and other instruments without MIDI very easily to the digital domain. User friendly, speedy and high quality - that's SampleRobot 2.

Individuality and Inspiration

SampleRobot 2 is the ideal tool to enrich audio productions with extraordinary and individual sounds. Everybody can use prefabricated sound libraries. And everybody who uses them will sound similar. If you want to be original you should start with the sound. SampleRobot 2 enables you to create personal virtual instruments and sounds very fast. This is a lot of fun and also very inspiring.
