DIGITAL AUDIO INNOVATIONS SPACE STATION PRO V 1.40

Digital Audio Innovations SSPro is the worlds first true 128 voice. 16 part multi-timbral. virtual sampler for Win95/98 and DOS Software and waves are locked in RAM for faster access times and crash resistance, making it ideal for live performance SSPro is supplied on CD-ROM with a library of more than 4,000 WAV files, including sounds from many classic analogue and digital sYnths and drum machines. both in loop and single notes. Waves can be recorded or loaded to create your own instruments, which can consist of up to 256 waves. The library also includes more than 2,000 preprogrammed instruments (Banks). up to 16 Banks can be saved together as a Group. The library also contains a range of Groups. MIDI mixers. LFO’s and Envelope files. Sound editing can be done in realtime, on screen, or via MIDI. Each key can be treated as an oscillator, instead of just a pitch shifting trigger: therefore, each key can be modified separately with any process Each channel has two MIDI controllable resonant filters and one chase delay.

Sound on Sound

Tightly written, performance-driven software at its best.
SSPro is more efficient than the Gigasampler. and the crash resistance should interest Live performers.

Future Music

SSPro has the creativity to make sounds that you won’t be able to make in any other way, and the LFO’s are capable of things that no other product on the market could ever do. More music making value than an Akai or Emu.

The Mix

Deceptively Powerful & impressive program, with editing features which really impress.

SSPro duplicates any envelope shape you can think of and even those you can’t, if you’re interested in sampling, its something you really ought to look at For information on prices please contact MIDI Classics.

How Does It All Work?

Waves can be recorded, loaded and assigned to any of the available MIDI keys. and then passed through any of the SSPro advanced processes. to generate an instrument. Instruments can be saved to disk in one of two different types. with or without the waves Instruments saved without the waves, retain the disk volume label and directory structure. allowing any of the commercially available wav format CDROM’s. to be used without wasting hard disk space Up to 16 instruments can be played and controlled simultaneously via MIDI, with the use of any external keyboard or sequencer. and internally, via the qwerty keyboard, mouse or mixers.

What Are The Advanced Processes?

SSPro contains all of the processes usually associated with synthesisers and samplers, allowing complex instruments to be generated. Unlike other instruments, SSPro is not restricted by conventional test book methods. Any instrument can be generated, from acoustic to truly analogue.

Wave Assigner: Waves are assigned to keys within a MIDI channel, and manipulated with database style tools. Each key can be re-pitched, amplified and panned.

Envelope Generator: Amplitude, pitch and pan envelopes can be generated for each wave. Envelopes can bc synched to time, MIDI and wave, Shapes can have as many points as needed. Attack and release pointers are MIDI controllable.

Key Mapper: Waves ean be mapped across keys within two layers, generating controllable ghost waves. Layers can be velocity switching and Maps can be cross faded.

Looping: All waves including ghosts, can be indvidua11y looped, either forward or forward reverse, both manually or automatically with the Auto Looping Mode

Loop Mode 2: A cell containing a pattern of MIDI notes. is used to trigger the wave, in sync with the MIDI clock.

LFO: Six shapes can be used per instrument. Shapes can be loaded from disk or modelled with the LFO designer. Shapes can be used to modulate wave volume, pitch or pan. LFO depth. time, and any MIDI controller. MIDI controllers can be used to control LFO depth and time.
