EFFECTS AND PLUG-INS IN AN OVERVIEW 185
Robota Pro
(Samplitude Pro)
Robota is an eight-voice drum computer VST instrument based on virtual-analog synthesis.
You can open it via the first plug-in slot by going to "MAGIX Synth -> Robota".
Samples are not usually used as drum sounds but rather the sounds are created in real-
time with a specialized drum sound synthesizer. Typical analog sounds of classic drum
computers like Roland TR-808, TR-909 or those of more modern manufacturers like Korg
Electribe or the Jomox X-Base can be created using Robota. It is controlled via a step
sequencer with flashlight programming or via MIDI.
The Robota Drum map can be found in the Samplitude program folder under MXSynth ->
Robota -> ROBOTA.map
Robota - Technical data
• 8-track sequencer
• 64 steps (4x16 or 2x32)
• “Notes” mode (velocity information per step)
• Snapshot mode (instrument setting can be saved for each step, variable “snapshot
recall” time)
• Groove presets (“swing” & “velocity” information)
• “Follow” & “auto copy” mode for simplified editing
• 8 “instruments” (1 per sequencer track). Available for each instrument:
• Oscillator section (sine/triangle/saw tooth/ .WAV) + noise generator
• Modulation (FM/ring)
• Lo-Fi section
• Filter section (multimode filter (12/24dB), comb filter, filter envelope)
