Technical

Mac OS X :
The plugin need Mac OS X 10.8.4 (Mountain Lion) or newer, if you have 10.6 or 10.7, drop me an email and i -can- provide you an alpha version : this version has not been tested and lack some features !

AudioUnit
Unlike the VST/AU Speek, this time i didn’t code the AudioUnit “from scratch” but used the incredible Symbiosis VST / AU from NuEdge : http://nuedge.net/article/5-symbiosis
a big thank to the author !

There are still some limitations / small bugs, please read the user guide & FAQ text.
I’ll fix that in next release. I’ve also planned to add some features (most wanted is the “drag and replace” sample).

The plugin is VST2 (and AudioUnit) and has been tested on Ableton Live, FL Studio, Cubase, Logic, Renoise, Reaper, Protools (via wrapper), Psycle, MadTracker, Temper, Bitwig, Tunafish, VSTHost, SaviHost, TobyBear MiniHost, Giada, Melodo, PedalBoard, AuLab, Nuendo, Ardour, EnergyXT, Studio One, Mutools, VSTLord, Cantabile, Xlutop Chainer, Maschine.

Here’s some more famous samples origin for all the old school rave loverz !

the yeah! sample

Here’s a “YEAH” sample that ended on the famous “Zero G Datafile 1 CD”
then from here it was used in TONS of rave tunes,
you WILL recognize immediately, listen to the intro of :

Derek B – Good Groove

the famous “yeah” in:

2 Unlimited – Get Ready 4 This
Quadrophonia – Quadrophonia
U96 – Das Boot
Cascade – Do What You Wanna Do

and countless songs!

The 2 Ulimited Get Ready 4 This stab !

The “88 to Piano” stab

Now go back to 1988 with this funky stab we can hear on

The Minutemen – Bingo Bongo

this is probably that record that was sampled for those rave hits from the 1992 :

The Ultimate Seduction – House Nation

and

Mainx – 88 To Piano

and they maybe all have sampled the stab from the famous Nitro Deluxe tracks !
unlike the Inner City stab, it’s not found on the original mix but on the “dub” mix, right at the start

Nitro Deluxe – Let’s Get Brutal (Dub Mix)
