This book is a unique contribution to the world of musical samplers. With over 30 years experience in Sound Synthesis Technologies, Audioballistics guides the reader into the recreation of some of the most exceptional sampler engines ever created.
Modern DAWS offer potentialities only dreamed of when visionaries like E-MU merged free-running creativity with technical know-how under the hot Californian sun of the 1980's.
But now over forty years later - without too much expense, we find ourselves in the privileged position of being able to resurrect these legendary machines from the comfort of our own headphones, and perhaps with that create sonic textural realities that they would not only be impressed by but also proudly call their own.
In Building Sampler Engines inside Ableton, Audioballistics distills decades of hands-on experience into a practical resource that can be used by anyone seeking to understand and implement these innovative and unique signal chains.
