Aqeel Aadam Music has announced an update to its creative sampler instrument plugin in collaboration with BlankFor.ms. Version 1.1 lets users record straight into Outgrowth the from whatever sound source.
The biggest new addition, and the number one feature request from day one, is the ability to record straight into Outgrowth. This addition really takes Outgrowth from a “sample-based instrument” to a true sampler. We’ve been having a ton of fun with this in testing, and we think you’ll love it too. Just humming into the iPad microphone or striking my water bottle with a pen yields a ton of material to explore, and with all of that beautiful background noise and texture – that’s what Outgrowth is really about.
Full recording capabilities are available on both desktop and iOS. On desktop, you’ll need to assign a sidechain input to Outgrowth to get started, and on iOS you’ll just have to load the AUv3 into the effects slot of a track (rather than the instrument track). You can get started instantly by recording right from the home page, or head to the Samples window to find the location of the new fully-fledged recording menu. There you can toggle monitoring options, configure automatic recording via CC or parameter control, and set some metadata for new samples. Recorded sounds immediately become samples in Outgrowth, allowing you to instantly morph and stretch them as far as you want.
The update also brings a new resonant filter (Harmonic filter), overhauled sample options and modulation sources, infinite hold mode, a modernized preset manager, and more.
A free update for existing users, Outgrowth for Windows and macOS (VST3, AU and AAX) is priced $65 USD. The iOS/AUv3 version is $19.99 USD at the App Store.
