Digidesign MS141-3.0

Digidesign's Soft SampleCell is a host-based sampler derived from the SampleCell ll PCI sampling system. The software offers 24-bit playback of audio files with extremely low latency.

Samples are processed with Soft SampleCell's resonant, four-pole lowpass filter. You get three envelope generators, two LFOs per voice, and a modulation matrix that offers as many as 18 sources and 26 destinations.

You can load 128 MB of audio files into RAM for a maximum of 64 dynamically allocated voices, depending on CPU resources. The program can import and export Sound Designer ll and AIFF and WAV files and is compatible with all SampleCell libraries. A sample and loop editor is integrated into the sampler in case you need to tweak your files.

When used without an audio interface, Soft SampleCell offers stereo output, using Apple's Sound Manager. A Digidesign Pro Tools or Pro Tools LE system raises the ante considerably, offering 16 analog or digital outputs. When it's used with DirectConnect, the sampler provides 32 polyphonic outputs. Soft SampleCell coexists happily with its hardware sibling, SampleCell ll.

To run SoftSampleCell using Sound Manager, Digidesign recommends a PPC G4/400 MHz Mac with 192 MB RAM and Mac OS 9.04
