SKYLIFE SampleRobot 2.5 allows you to "clone" every instrument and turn it into a software instrument automatically.

SampleRobot works as a copying machine for instruments featuring advanced recording and auto-loop searching algorithms. With SampleRobot you can recreate your favorite instruments and sounds via software samplers. You can archive your samples and combine your sounds to completely new virtual instruments. A futuristic graphical user interface gives you fast, efficient, and logical access to all sampling parameters. SampleRobot is also equipped with semi-automatic recording functions for sampling of acoustic instruments.

Have your whole studio within your computer environment - SampleRobot enables you to work mobile - just take all your instruments with you wherever you go!

Professional "instrument-cloning" is even easier with the updated Version 2.5 of SampleRobot. A lot of new features based on customer comments are included in the latest version. The new WaveRobot software is fully integrated: SampleRobot 2.5 comes with WaveRobot already included, the new application for professional loop editing. WaveRobot finds optimized loop points and alternatives in wave files automatically. A high speed graphic engine with full zoom functionality makes WaveRobot very comfortable software to work with. There is also the new Project Wizard that allows you to create new instruments virtually on the fly - even without any special knowledge about sampling.

A smaller version with many of the main main features of SampleRobot is available as well: SampleRobot Essentials. Please check this product comparison chart to compare the different versions of SampleRobot.

Main Features

  • Fully automatic sampling of MIDI sound devices that are connected to a Windows compatible MIDI and audio interface
  • Semi-automatic sampling of sound sources that are not equipped with a MIDI interface
  • Streamlined and easy to use graphical interface
  • Audio formats: Channels: optional 1 (mono) or 2 (stereo); Bit resolution: optional 8, 16 or 24 bits (depending on the used audio interface); Sampling rate: optional 11, 22, 44.1, 48, 96 or 192 kHz (depending on the used audio interface)
  • Windows WDM support
  • ASIO 2.1 support
  • Preset manager: over 80 sampling presets for different instruments and situations included; user presets can be created easily
  • Automatic output of MIDI velocity, after touch, controllers, program change to automatically record all sound nuances
  • Non-destructive graphical loop and marker editing with full zoom functionality (including overlapping the stereo left and right waveforms)
  • MIDI monitor
  • Auto functions and user macros for recording format and length, editing, normalizing, fading samples
  • Automatic creation of crossfade loops, backward-forward loops and combinations
  • Advanced loop-searching algorithms
  • Different crossfade types to create inaudible loops
  • Auto arrangement and mapping of multi-samples and release-samples including key maps with velocity splits and real time MIDI controller assignment
  • Release-sample support
  • Audio file export format: single-samples as Windows Audio format (WAV)
  • Multi-sample export formats: VSampler, HALion, SoundFont2, Reason NN-XT, Dimension Pro
  • Data export file format: SampleRobot® Project (SRprj), Preset
  • Import: WAV (single-sample, multi-sample), SRprj, Preset
  • Sampling of Windows audio streams, played by other applications in the background
  • Tuning oscillator
  • Pitch information read and write (WAV files)
  • Auto naming from an external text file Batch sampling all sounds (whole bank) from a MIDI-instrument: automatic creation of multiple projects with program changes
  • Batch multi-sample creation from an uncut audio file (e.g. useful to split sounds from sampling CDs)
  • Batch normalize and gain functions for all samples in a project/multi-sample, auto normalize to maximum level in a project
  • Optional sampling rate and bit rate conversion during export Crossfade rendering

New Features of Version 2.5

  • WaveRobot professional loop editing utility included
  • Improved interface design (coloring, workflow, hide-panels)
  • Key commands functionality (now all important functions can be directly accessed via key commands)
  • MIDI capture function (with this function activated all played note velocities and all incoming MIDI controller information will automatically be captured in the Multi-Sample section allowing perfect MIDI remote control of all sound sources)
  • MIDI note in display (all played notes are now displayed on SampleRobot's virtual keyboard)
  • Comprehensive copy functions for multi-samples (now it is possible to combine multi-samples from different projects to create huge layer sounds and velocity-splits)
  • ChessRobot (this game makes waiting during recording a lot easier since you can play a nice game of chess in the meantime; ChessRobot runs independently and offers different challenge levels)
  • new additional display resolution 1280x1024 supported
  • minimized display option (450x300 pixels) with full editing capabilities
  • new Project Wizard to create new instruments virtually on the fly - even without special knowledge about sampling
  • numerous optimizations and detail improvements

System Requirements

  • compatible with Windows XP and Windows Vista
  • supports all Windows plug and play MIDI and audio devices
  • minimum computer configuration: Pentium 3 (or compatible), 667 MHz, 512 MB RAM
