files for controlling the sound chip on your sound card or VST instrument
plug-ins or external synthesizers, and then arrange everything together.
For MIDI recordings and editing you can use the extensive MIDI editor with
piano roll, drum editor, velocity/controller editor, and event list.
MIDI object recording can be started directly from the arranger by setting the
recording mode in the track box to MIDI.
Multitrack recorder (MR-64)
The multitrack recorder (MR-64) looks like a hardware mixer and can also be
operated in the same way. It can also be launched as an alternative to the
current mixer interface to make multitrack recordings just like with a real mixer.
The MR-64 unites the advantages of the analog look with digital technology:
realistic appearance, direct workflows, and familiar functionality.
Soundpool manager
The Soundpool manager helps control, preview, and load MAGIX Soundpool
loops. Hundreds of loops are included, and many more can be found at
Catooh. The loops are categorized into "styles" (e.g. ambient, dance, hip hop,
rock, etc.) and "instruments" (e.g. drums, bass, guitars, etc.). The name of the
loop file also informs you about the kind of sound you can expect. Every loop
can be previewed by clicking it. Monitoring is adjusted to the loops in the
arranger. For example, first a framework of bass and drums is constructed and
then played back in a loop, and as you search for the right guitar sounds in the
Soundpool manager, the monitoring will be matched with the drum loop. Every
loop can be loaded into the arranger by dragging it or by double-clicking. The
Soundpool manager can be launched via the "Manager (view page 262)"
button
.
Jam Session
The JamSession lets you create complete songs single-handedly. The program
simulates working with hardware "Looping delays", like, for example, the
Gibson Echoplex. The difference is that Samplitude 11.5 Producer creates an
arrangement during "looping" which can later be edited and compiled into a
complete song. During a Jam Session, everything you do is recorded. The
most important thing with the Jam Session is the fun factor – there can never
be too much of it!
Activate "Solo Jam Session" via the "Playback" menu.
