SampleRobot works as a copying machine for sounds featuring advanced recording and auto-loop searching algorithms. If there are MIDI connections available between an instrument and a computer, SampleRobot sends out MIDI note messages and controller information, note by note. The external device gets the MIDI information and plays back the sounds. At the same time SampleRobot is in audio recording mode. Just a few mouse clicks and a fully detailed sampled synthesizer with all internal sound programs is on your hard drive ready to be played with any available software sampler. SampleRobot is also equipped with semi-automatic recording functions for sampling of acoustic instruments.

New features in version 1.53

ASIO optimization: The maximum amount of ASIO In and Out channels per device has been increased from 32 to 256.
Export functions: The new "Export Settings" dialog allows to optionally convert bit resolution and sampling rates during export for all Samples in a Project.
Export functions: There is a new dialog for the function "Export selected Project as WAV-Files". You can choose between long and short naming which is useful if you are working with samplers that allow only a few chracters for the Sample's name.
Export functions: Now the export status dialog known from the SF2 export has been added to all export formats. This dialog will inform you about the progress during exporting.
Preset Manager: With the function "Save selected Project as Preset" in the File menu it is now possible to use a normal Project as a template for a Preset. Deleting a Preset is another new option.
