The arrange window is quick to navigate and includes comprehensive crossfade and snap-to-grid options.I have an XP service pack 3 system with an intel pentium R 3.6 processor, and 2 GB of Ram. There’s a new, extremely high quality time-stretching and pitch-shifting algorithm. There are plenty of other positives, though, including an extremely flexible mixer with the ability to re-order effects chains and even each component in a mixer channel. Samplitude also falls behind the competition with a lack of support for video playback – an essential feature for synchronising music and video for soundtrack work. Magix’ competitors offer a greater quantity of more versatile virtual instruments. However, there aren’t enough acoustic drum kits and no orchestral instruments at all. The quality of its presets is excellent, with a refined grand piano, lots of world percussion and scope to expand on small selection of analogue synth sounds via the synthesis controls. The new Independence LE is a general-purpose synth that draws on 4GB of samples. Robota is an analogue drum sequencer with plenty of fun features, but it’s unlikely to see much use beyond a limited range of dance genres. Sadly, the virtual instrument bundle isn’t so impressive. The new addition to the effects bundle is Am-munition, a compressor-limiter that is both complex and unorthodox in its approach but rewards technically minded users with some impressively beefy sounds, particularly on complete mixes. An off-line Spectral Cleaning editor removes unwanted noises with surgical precision.
There’s a comprehensive master effects section, and even Autotune-style pitch correction built in. The distortion effect is capable of anything from gentle tube warmth to screaming distortion. One of the two reverbs uses convolution, generating ambiences from impulses captured in real spaces, and comes with a comprehensive library of impulse files. The compressor includes a choice of vintage and VCA algorithms and includes tape-saturation emulation. Samplitude Pro’s strongest feature is its effects bundle, arguably negating the need for third-party plug-ins. A Thin Out command is available to simplify this data, but we would prefer the ability to apply this automatically.
The new implementation leaves nothing to be desired but recording changes in real time generates dense data, making it fiddly to edit later.
Version 10 includes a major overhaul of the automation features, which allow changes to mixer and instrument settings to be recorded or drawn as envelopes with the mouse.
