SampleRobot has released a new app, SampleRobot KORG Edition, that’s designed to make it easy to create new samples for Korg instruments – including Oasys, Kronos, volca sample and microSAMPLER.
There’s also an additional Wav export option, so you can import your samples directly into whatever instrument or DAW you like.
Features:
- Multisample export for KORG Volca Sample.
- Multisample bank export for KORG microSAMPLER.
- KMP/KSC/KSF multisample export for many KORG products from Trinity to Triton to Kronos.
- WAV export (complete and loop-only)
- Import and export of multiple AIFF files.
- WaveRobot 5 loop and transient editor as an option.
- Improved Mac OS X framework, compatible with OS 10.12 Sierra.
- Adaption for Windows 10.
- New premium multisamples on board.
- Many performance optimizations.
- Includes 4 cross-platform installation licenses.
The SampleRobot KORG Edition is the successor of the discontinued SampleRobot Single-X / Volca-X product line. It offers more export formats, improved compatibility and handling.
Pricing and Availability
SampleRobot KORG Edition is available now for US $85, or paired with WaveRobot for $139. A ‘crossgrade’ is available for users of SampleRobot Single-X / Volca-X.
$85 app for $159 hardware is silly, especially when Caustic Editor is free.
“new premium multisamples on board”. This and operativity on 4 machines probably make the price…but for exclusive Volca use feels a bit pricey.
True, that.
But I’m sure for those people who could afford to shell out anywhere between $3k and $8k for the Kronos or Oasys, this is chump change.
A free and easy way (for Windows) is to use the old synth-sample-maker called Orangator. It was great for using with trackers back then, but it still works for its purpose with something like the Volca Sample.
Badly need a decent way to edit samples on the Electribe Sampler.
It’s not $89 to simply transfer samples to the Volca. It’s the whole Sample Robot app with Volca (etc) compatibility. The article totally skips all of the features of Sample Robot. http://www.samplerobot.com/
