Skylife have released version 2.40 of their SampleRobot sampling software and have incorporated a lot of new features based on customer wishes and feedback. They also are offering a 10% discount offer for the next 10 days. Here’s what they have to say in their own words:
With brand-new Skylife SampleRobot Version 2.40 audio software you can "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!
New Functions

• Auto-Loop for all
  By using this function you can apply optimum loop settings intelligently from one sample to all other samples of a Multi-Sample or of a Project. This a batch operation for Auto-Loop processes.
• Auto-Note for all
  This is a batch operation to truncate silence from all samples of a Multi-Sample or of a Project at the same time.
• Tempo-based and beat-based marker editing
  When editing loop markers, now you have a tempo and beat reference. You can see beat or tempo changing in real time when you move the markers.
• Wusikstation SND Format Export
  Users of the virtual instrument Wusikstation can now easily create content for the Wusikstation directly in SampleRobot and SampleRobot Essentials. Therefor the new Wusikstation export dialog was added. All sample mapping information will be transmitted automatically, so that you can play your SampleRobot instrument creation instantly with Wusikstation.
• Tool Tips
  From now on function descriptions, tips and operation instructions can be displayed when moving the mouse pointer over buttons and other areas of SampleRobot's and SampleRobot Essentials' graphical user interface. This is a quick help function not only for beginners.
• Key-Samples Rearrangement
  Now it is possible to move, copy and swap samples on the Virtual Keyboard of SampleRobot and SampleRobot Essentials simply with a drag&drop operation.
• Remove Audio after Loop-Out
  This option has been added to all export format dialogs. It helps to keep samples' sizes small on your hard drive and also to save performance when loading Multi-Samples into your software sampler. When active, this function chops off all audio after the loop. This material would not be played anyway in most cases.
• WaveRobot Waveform Zoom
  The maximum Y-axis waveform zoom has been increased by factor 20 allowing precise "microscopic" waveform edits.
• Selectable Skins
  The appearance of SampleRobot's and SampleRobot Essentials' graphical user interface can now be modified by the user. At the moment there are 2 different skins available.
• Optimized ASIO support
  New features have been added to SampleRobot's and SampleRobot Essentials' audio engine to extend the support for various audio interfaces.
• Render Loop only
  This function is designed to export only the loops of samples (including crossfade rendering), for example to use them in Ableton's Live.
• Clean Selected Project / Clean selected Multi-Sample
  With the help of this operation you can free disc space by erasing samples that are either not selected or that are located outside the keyboard range.
• Many more Improvements
