Software sampler to work with Intun

Does anyone know a decent software sampler capable of
doing a channel by channel pitch bends so it can work
with Intun? Thanks.

Wouldn't any self-respecting softsynth support pitch
bends?

Intun rocks, by the way!

Chris, I'm going to post this at MMM as well, as maybe someone there might have an answer (and also write a couple of friends no longer in the forums). Have you actually tried any softsamps and ruled them out?

Cheers,

A. He's looking for a soft *sampler*, not softsynth.
B. He's looking for an answer, not a generalized opinion, no?

Firing up Google right now...

He obviously wants a synth. Samplers go under the
rubric of 'wavetable synths' these days.

I can't answer a question I don't understand. The only way
I could read what he wrote, the answer would be "every single
one". That couldn't be what he was asking, now could it?

I'm sorry, but you are wrong. While many people use (and develop) wavetable instruments, there is still a large group of instruments known as samplers, even in software. For instance:

http://www.nativeinstruments.de/index.php?id=samplingline_us

Note that they refer to the entire line as "software samplers". I know people that use samplers *as* samplers, not as some kind of synthesis, and I bet you do as well. No rubric here.

I usually don't try to; if I don't know, I at least ask before assuming they wanted something else.

Cheers,
Jon

Yes, Jon, I'm aware. He obviously wants something that can
play back, which would be called a synth in most circles. If
he wants it also to record, that's one thing. In any case,
most soft wavetable synths allow one to load recordings from
any source.

I was asking. I didn't assume anything. You assumed.

Carl,

C'mon, get a grip.

Yeah, and in most circles "alternate tuning" means tuning the strings of your guitar to a different pitch. But we're smarter than that, aren't we? He said *sampler*.

Well, if you're that familiar with soft wavetable synths, how about answering if what he wants is possible, with the most likely apps?

> I was asking. I didn't assume anything. You assumed.

No, you said "He obviously wants a synth." You didn't ask, you just made that statement. Chris asked "Does anyone know a decent software sampler..." It seems clear from what he wrote that he is interested in a software *sampler*, and they do exist.

A simple question often requires only a simple answer.

Which is what I intended to give. Meanwhile, you are
doing everything but contributing to the simplicity of
this thread.
