Skylife's mission statement is "innovative sound concepts in the field of film music and sound design" and with the pedigree of Christian Halten it sounds more than probable. Christian has worked for companies like Waldorf (Microwave XT, Q, PPG Wave 2.V-Plug-In), Wizoo (Xphraze) and Hartmann (Neuron). Christian Halten was also involved as a composer and sound designer in the Hollywood movies Catwoman (Music: Klaus Badelt) and The Ring Two (Music: Hans Zimmer, Henning Lohner).
SampleRobot works as a copying machine for sounds. If you have MIDI connections between an instrument and a computer, SampleRobot® sends out MIDI note messages and controller information, note by note. The external device gets the MIDI information and plays back the sounds. At the same time SampleRobot® is in audio recording mode. Just a few mouse clicks and a fully detailed sampled Synthesizer with all internal sound programs is on your hard drive ready to be played with any available software sampler. SampleRobot® is also equipped with half automatic recording functions for sampling of acoustic instruments.
