ESI SampleRobot Essentials from ESI @ Inta Audio

ESI SampleRobot Essentials

SampleRobot Essentials is based on the famous SampleRobot software, but even more affordable. It offers a lot of professional auto-sampling features from its big brother SampleRobot at a reasonable price. The graphical interface is very easy to use. Beginners can achieve excellent results with just a few mouse clicks.

SampleRobot Essentials works as a copying machine for instruments featuring advanced recording and auto-loop searching algorithms. With SampleRobot Essentials 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 Essentials is also equipped with semi-automatic recording functions for sampling of acoustic instruments.
