Sep 4, 2007 1:50 PM
Ilio has launched Samplebase.com, a new site dedicated to offering downloadable, production-ready loops, phrases, and multisampled instruments of high sonic and musical quality to “wired” musicians.
What separates Samplebase from other sample sites is an in-house “A&R” and production team that ensures every sound on the site meets exacting quality standards.
In addition, Samplebase offers an exclusive sample-playback synth engine (designed just for Samplebase users) called Satellite, which is free of charge to Samplebase users. It contains professional features, such as automated time and pitch control with host tempo sync, syncable LFOs and effects, 16-part multitimbral operation with assignable MIDI channels, eight audio outputs, eight Quick Edit knobs for real-time control, Rex file support, and more. Satellite is a Mac/PC, AU/VST plug-in that works with most major host platforms. It is also available as a stand-alone application.
Fueled by an international artistic community, Samplebase features a wide variety of new sounds by well-known music industry talents such as Kaskade, Catalyst Audio, Peter DiStefano and Def Jef, among others. It also highlights sounds produced by Ilio and the Vienna Symphonic Library, available in focused, premium but affordable packages. Satellite combines load-and-play convenience with great performance features for Samplebase's royalty-free sounds.
Sounds on Samplebase are arranged into 20 to 200 MB sets called SoundBlocks that can be loaded directly into Satellite and used in host sequencer/DAW programs. Sound Categories include Drums/Percussion, Guitar/Bass, Keys, Synths, Soundscapes/FX, Strings, Brass/Woodwinds, Vocals and Ethnic, providing state-of-the art ingredients for modern music production. SoundBlocks range in price from $19 to $39.
