Instant Sampler Description

Instant Sampler - Simple audio sampler that will automatically record from the audio input when a MIDI note will be played Instant Sampler does what a simple 'normal' sampler does (playing audio fragments by MIDI notes), but it takes its samples (instantly) from the audio input whenever you hit a specific MIDI note for the first time. Every consecutive time you hit the same MIDI-note, it plays back the recorded fragment (or shorter, depending on the note's length).So, is this plugin an instrument (as the name 'sampler' might suggest), or an effect? Technically, it is an effect, but one that is controlled using MIDI. But, in Logic for instance, it can be considered to be an instrument, played with MIDI, and having an audio side-chain input. The bottomline is, that it needs both audio - and MIDI input!When you play the sampled fragments, you have the possibility to vary the following:· velocity - Playback volume.· attack and release - Both attack & release times are configurable.· floor - The level of the input audio which is passed along unaffected when no samples are played.· playback speed - Speed up or - down the sample playback using the pitchbend control with a configurable range.· reverse playback - Playback in reverse ... this might sound a bit tricky at first, so look at the figure first (you might get it right away).· clear memory - Assign a MIDI note that (when played) just clears all samples recorded so far. This is useful if you have a 'copy-paste phrase' programmed in a MIDI region, and want to reuse it at more than 1 place in your music. Just start or end your phrase with the 'clear memory note', and the second time the phrase is playing, it will record the input audio again.This plugin is especially handy if you want to do some 'remixing' (like stuttering or scratch effects) on your mix without having to make a bounce-down of that mix first. You have complete control over these effects, compared to other glitchy "mess things up" plugins that will often do things randomly.Requirements:· AU host application.Limitations:· The InstantSampler has a pre-allocated audio buffer, giving you 30 seconds of total sample time, regardless of the number of inputs/outputs and sample rate. If you work on a stereo channel at 44.1 kHz, and given the fact that 1 sample takes 4 bytes (a 'float') then the plugin will reserve 30 x 44100 x 2 x 4 = 10 MB of internal memory. For working in 7.1 surround at 192 kHz, you can do the maths yourself. You cannot sample more than 30 seconds, or silence will be the result.
