What’s new in Samplitude Music Studio 15?
Multitrack recorder (MR-64)
The multitrack recorder (MR-64) looks like a hardware mixer and can also be operated in the same
way. It can also be launched as an alternative to the current mixer interface to make multitrack recordings
just like with a real mixer. The MR-64 unites the advantages of the analog look with digital technology:
realistic appearance, direct workflows, and familiar functionality.
Soundpool manager
The Soundpool manager helps control, preview, and load MAGIX Soundpool loops. Hundreds of
loops are included, and many more can be found at Catooh. The loops are categorized into "styles" (e.g.
ambient, dance, hip hop, rock, etc.) and "instruments" (e.g. drums, bass, guitars, etc.). The name of the
loop file also informs you about the kind of sound you can expect. Every loop can be previewed by
clicking it. Monitoring is adjusted to the loops in the arranger. For example, first a framework of bass and
drums is constructed and then played back in a loop, and as you search for the right guitar sounds in the
Soundpool manager, the monitoring will be matched with the drum loop. Every loop can be loaded into
the arranger by dragging it or by double clicking. The Soundpool manager can be launched via the "
Manager
" button.
BeatBox 2 plus
BeatBox2 Plus is a flexible and diverse groove tool. For a quickly produced, suitable back beat, try one
of the presets. For more detailed, programmed beats, place the notes yourself, add and integrate effects,
and set the individual parameters. BeatBox2 Plus can be accessed via the "Synthesizer" button.
am-track SE
This familiar and high-quality vintage compressor offers a combination analog compressor and tape
simulator. High-quality tape machine sound emulation makes typical aspects of the large, saturated sound
characteristics of magnetic recordings a digital-quality reality.
Optimized manager section
The manager section has been redesigned in Samplitude Music Studio 15. The managers
combine the most frequently used control and management functions for markers, tracks, ranges, VST
instruments, objects, etc. and control the sound loops. The manager section can be positioned freely and
docked to different locations in the user interface.
Improved editor with step recording
The MIDI editor now offers the option of inputting technically complicated keyboard passages
step-by-step; the recording stops after every note is played and waits for the next note to be entered
(step recording). The notes can then be corrected as required using the regular quantization and moving
functions. The MIDI editor offers numerous extra improvements. It can be opened by double clicking a
MIDI
object.
