Two Flavors There are two versions of Satellite offered for RTAS, the free version and the “Pro� version. The free version, simply called Satellite, offers a straightforward interface that lets users load Samplebase sound sets called SoundBlocks. Eight pre-programmed Quick Edit knobs allow the user to control parameters such as filter cutoff, resonance, amp envelope, delay effect, reverb settings, or more, depending on the SoundBlock. Users of the free version may load their own REX and Wav/Aif samples as well.
Customers may upgrade to Satellite Pro, which allows them much deeper access to more advanced synth parameters, effects, and a keymapping section for building custom SoundBlocks. The Keymap section offers auto-mapping, batch processing and crossfade looping. Satellite and Satellite Pro utilize advanced lossless compression techniques to maximize sound quality, processing speed, and memory. Both are also 16 part multi-timbral, useful for multi-track sessions using one instance of Satellite, and for complex layering of sounds and loops.
Both versions of Satellite have the same sample-based synth engine with automatic tempo detection and host sync, plus tempo, time and pitch stretching. Pro users have access to three multistage (ADSTR) envelopes, 10 filter types with resonance, three syncable LFOs and more.
