Im looking for a roland or maybe korg rackmount synth sampler thingy that lets you take a sound and play it at different notes without affecting the speed that the sound plays at,its from the 80s or early 90s,anybody know what im talking about??
Roland VP-9000 Variphase sampler,nevermind found it,its actually from 2000,can anybody suggest some good programs that can do what this unit can,without sounding shitty https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_d_R4n00of4
I would guess that all of the better (commercial) software samplers nowadays should be able to do this.
Did you watch the video?I havent come across any sampler that does this specific function other than recycle…
Well, the pitch and timestretching, so two of the three knobs, modern samplers can do I think. Kontakt for instance should be able to do this. The change of groove I have to admit I havent seen yet. Its a cool feature though!
Its more the fact that it timestretches without any noticable effect on the audio,no nasty artifacts,very clear.I think maybe its asking too much for this level of audio quality from software but if anybody has any suggestions i would appreciate it,other than Recycle.
As far as I know, Kontakt uses the zplane algorithm. This is considered to be one of, if not the, best algorithms for timestretching and pitchshifting and it sounds very good to me in other applications that use it outside of a sampler context. In my experience it is cabable of producing the same quality as the sounds in the demo video above. And it is much more advanced than Recycle (which is mainly good on drumloops).
Thanks i will check it out,i think the last version of Kontakt i had was 2 or something.
The algs in current soft samplers should be way ahead of the VP tech from 2000. Similarly the CPUs we have would blow the hardware in that box away too.
?? Ableton? Melodyne? No hardware ever can compete with those softwares. A hardware today usually has a fraction of the computing power of a modern pc.
