The features
The best possible sound quality
This feature is especially important to every music lover: Samplitude Music Studio
2013 offers unique sound quality for digital music editing.
• 100% sound neutrality: Benefit from Samplitude, professional audio software
that's been used for years in sound studios and radio & TV stations around the
world. Samplitude's unique feature is that the original sound of audio files is not
diminished by any specific audio discoloration, as is often the case with other
programs.
• 24-bit/48 kHz recordings: Your own recordings can be made with the correct
hardware in professional, high-quality, high-resolution 24-bit/48 kHz format.
• 32-bit floating point: Internal sound processing is executed via the 32-bit floating
point process for especially differentiated and high-quality calculation. This way,
the audio picture can be created with especially high dynamics. Digital distortion
and clipping is virtually impossible.
Formats and interfaces
Import: MIDI standard formats (MID, GM, GS, XG), WAV (24- & 32-bit), WAV with
codec, MP3, CD-A, OGG Vorbis, AIFF, FLAC, MOV.
Export: MIDI standard formats (MID), WAV (24-bit), WAV with codec, MP3, CD-A,

Synthesizers
Samplitude Music Studio 2013 comes with the following synthesizers that you can
play directly on your PC keyboard, via your mouse or with a MIDI keyboard:
• Vita: A sampler with incredibly realistic-sounding, "classical" instrumental
sounds like different guitars (Power chords, clean electric guitar, acoustic guitar,
bass guitar), different pianos, percussion, strings, brass, woodwinds (each as an
individual set & as an ensemble set), and much more.
• Beatbox 2: For computer beats and computer sounds
• LiVid (Little Virtual Drummer): For "real" acoustic drum tracks
• Drum Engine: Perfect drum sounds
• Robota: For "mean" electronic sounds
• Revolta 2: An analog, varied, and powerful-sounding 12-voice synthesizer
featuring a sound matrix, noise generator, and nine effect types. With this
synthesizer, you can create any electronic music you can imagine. The sound
presets were created by the sound designer for Access Virus and Rob Papen's
Albino.
• Lead Synth: "Analog modular" synthesizer
• Century Guitars: Authentic guitar sounds.
