October 29, 2001The new VSampler DXi soft synth/sampler is now available on the Cakewalk web site. Developed by SpeedSoft, the VSampler DXi is a multi-format,

The VSampler DXi provides up to 64 stereo voices , all controlled through an easy-to-use interface. VSampler DXi supports popular sample formats and seamlessly integrates directly into SONAR, Home Studio 2002, Plasma, and other DXi host applications.
The Sampler
VSampler DXi manages soundbanks of unlimited size. User-defined settings are simple to create, quickly allowing the change of soundsets within songs. VSampler DXi provides fully customizable real-time controls for modulation wheel, assignable controllers, pitchbend as well as real-time effects that include ADHSR envelopes, filters, reverb, chorus, and delays. Velocity zones allow you to use different samples for velocity-dependent, realistic instrument sounds. Complex instrument settings can easily be applied to other instruments with just one click of the mouse.
The Synthesizer
VSampler DXi includes a powerful real-time synthesizer with an open interface that features fully integrated emulators of the legendary Yamaha DX7 and a classic sounding analog-synth.
