PotenzaDSP has released an update to its 8-bit sampler plugin featuring Akai-style timestretching. Version 2.0 of the Amigo Sampler comes with various new features and improvements.
Discover new ways to create that authentic Commodore Amiga crunch in your production without having to sacrifice on quality unlike other common bitcrushers or post FX using sampler emulations. Added in as well is Akai style timestretching with the most accurate sound everybody grew to love, u can automate this plus many other of the features in realtime so no more waiting on rendering the stretches unlike on the real AKAI samplers or using old tools like Akaizer.
Changes in Amigo Sampler v2.0
- Serial Verification: You now have to authorise your computer to use Amigo. Simply enter the serial number listed on the order page where you purchased amigo (even if was done with coupon).
- File browser: A new internal file browser lets you preview and load samples from inside Amigo.
- EMBED button: The embed button saves the sample file into the project state, so you can send project files to friends without losing samples.
- Modulation section: The new MOD section allows for two types of modulation and two type of LFO: Vibrato or Tremolo, along with Square or Triangle waves.
- Sample rate improvements: Amigo now loads samples in chunks, making it feel smoother when changing sample-rates.
- Equal slicing: New Auto Slice feature allows you to split up the sample into equally divided slices.
- Phase bugs: The phase effect would sometimes cause some clicking/popping, this is now fixed.
- More sophisticated Config file (see manual for details).
- Slice looping: Slices can now be looped using the loop controls (side note, slice mode is still monophonic only).
Amigo Sampler for Windows, Mac and Linux (VST3/AU) is priced £10 GBP. The update is free for owners of version 1.x.
