MonkeyC has announced an update to its sampler that made thousands of producers fall in love with their sound library again. Version 2.5 of Rando comes with various new features and improvements.
Users can now create multiple zones on their keyboard corresponding to different search criteria. For instance, Rando could fill your lowest octave with kicks, the notes F3 to A#3 with tambourine loops, and any combination of other tags, categories and notes. Other recent updates have included Slice Mode, with each slice played by a single keyboard note; an upgraded multi-lane sequencer with dedicated kick lane; and Performance Mode, which automatically syncs and latches all loops.
One plugin to randomize, tune, and transform every sample you own. Inspiration on demand.
