Virtual Sampler
v1.3 and 1.5 Beta

 


What is it good for?

sample_small.jpg (9235 bytes)Virtual Sampler was developed to exploit the capabilities of the EWS 64 + Guilemot MaxiSound + Hoontech SoundTrack. Since version 1.2 Virtual Sampler has also a built in support for the DirectSound interface that makes it possible to use Virtual Sampler on any SoundCard that comes with DirectSound drivers (for example SBLive and AWE32). It gives the ability to manage sounds and samples. The program has been designed to quickly manage EWS soundbanks and to make sounds available to external or internal Midi equipment. It has all the features that I personally missed in the TerraTec Ed!son bank editor.

The program runs on Windows95 and Windows98. Windows 3.11 or NT are NOT supported because the program uses both 32 bit code for memory management and 16 bit code for the time critical Midi and realtime (envelopes, filter,controllers) stuff. You should have at least a Pentium 90 processor, although especially when you work with Cubase on the same machine a better processor or a second machine is highly recommended (I've personally tested the program on my Pentium 400 :-) and on my Pentium 133 computers and timing is ok even when you simultaneously record audio with Cubase VST).

What makes it superior to TerraTec's free "Ed!son" (beside the "slightly" faster speed of development ;) )?

The free evaluation version:filter_small.jpg (8184 bytes)

The evaluation version is limited to handle samples up to 1 MB maximum size. You can test all functions of the program and if it runs fine on your hardware - for a period of 2 weeks. If you like the program, please order the registered version. If you don't think the program is of any use for you you have to delete it from your HD after the 2 weeks test period. If you experience hardware conflicts or other problems, please contact the author.
