Fanan Team has announced the release of a focused sampling software which turns the sounds of VST instrument into ready-to-use SFZ patches. Sampler Arena allows loading of user loads any VST3 or VST2 instrument.
By using its automatic sampling module, Sampler Arena drives every key, captures every velocity, names every file, and writes a SFZ patch the user then can load into any sampler on any platform. Also, it can automatically sample chord libraries from arpeggiators and sequencers or skip recording entirely and assemble SFZ patches from audio files the user already owns. One tool, three workflows.
