INTAKT is a state-of-the-art sampler specifically designed for rhythmic loop playback, manipulation, and mayhem. INTAKT’s convenient one-screen interface features tremendous sound shaping abilities without disrupting the creative flow. Using multiple algorithms, INTAKT automatically syncs to tempo, while an outstanding library of loops from Zero-G and East West provides sample source material for nearly any musical style. Naturally, INTAKT provides a wealth of sound shaping options, including a first-class multimode filter, an envelope follower, two LFOs, effects, and more.
* Based on the Kontakt sampling engine -- up to 128 stereo voices, professional sound quality with 32 bit processing, up to 96 kHz sample rate support. * Three sampler-modes: Beat Machine with ISE (Individual Slice Edit), Time Machine and Sampler mode. * Easy synchronization of loops to MIDI tempo. * Modulation section provides AHDSR envelope, two individual LFOs, envelope follower and a DBD pitch envelope. * Integrated effects: Group filter including low-pass, high-pass, band-reject or band-pass modes, global filter, lo-fi, distortion, delay. * Easy and intuitive user interface and file browser. * MIDI file export. * Total Recall. * Includes an 1.2 gigabyte loop library by Zero-G and East West.
Very nice sampler plugin. 3 modes of sample playback: sampler (standard), time machine (timestrech) and tone machine (keeps speed, changes pitch) Modular structure: you can add filters, envelopes, lfos and fx by will. Sound quality is very high.

Paax 2 Pro offers the following features that the freeware version does not have:
* 128 simultaneous voices (Freeware version is limited to 64 voice polyphony). * Plays 8/16/24/32bit, mono/stereo wav files. * Access to advanced control panel for each split-layer-channel. * Access to sample editor controls for setting and tweaking the MicroGranular pitch-shifting option. Transpose sounds without affecting their duration/timbre! * Ability to fully edit SoundFonts and convert them into .pax banks. * Up to 4 stereo VST outputs with individual attenuation and pan controls. Different splits can be routed to separate outputs! * Up to 8 configurable stereo effect units (4 pairs, one per VST output).
The BallSequencer is a sequencer based around the idea of midinotes generated by balls moving around inside a rectangular area. Notes are triggered whenever a ball collides with the boundary of the rectangle. You can set parameters that will control the movement of each ball, in addition to possible note and velocity values.
This probably sounds like a complicated way of making random-sounding bursts of sound, but in practice I have found it very useful for creating pleasing rhytmical patterns and melodies. The interface makes it very easy to drastically change the rhytmical quality of a sequence, unlike in a traditional sequencer. Of course, it's also fully capable of creating crazy and uncohesive patterns if that's your thing
You can have 1-6 balls bouncing around in the rectangle at any time, each ball has it's own horisontal parameter strip, and an associated color.
Dream Sequencer is for that sequencing sound of the 70's as produced by Tangerine Dream etc. The VSTi synchronizes with the host bpm and takes its root key from a "midi note" and plays for the duration from "note on" until "note off". The pitch knobs are quantized to semitones with a range of one octave.
