Say hello to Satellite Pro

The time has come. We are now selling Satellite Pro. For those of you who are wondering, Satellite Pro is the full-featured version of our Satellite sample player. With Satellite Pro, you can completely manipulate your SoundBlocks. You get full control over filters, envelopes, LFO's, FX, and a powerful keymap editor. You can also load in your own samples and rex files, and create your own SoundBlocks from scratch.

By the way, if you haven't already, check out our Satellite video tutorials. We had a lot of fun creating them, and they will give you a good introduction to Satellite if you are feeling lost.

We've also added the Satellite Reference Manual to the Support section of our website. Check it out to answer any of your questions about Satellite.

Can your guitar player do this?

Our friend Peter DiStefano is one bomb-shizzle guitarist. He spent the past two summers rocking with electronic dance group Hybrid. Here's a video I found on YouTube of Peter playing with Hybrid at the Avalon. Play the video and fast forward about 40 seconds.



He's using a cello bow to play the guitar! Peter has a knack for creating really cool sounds on his guitar using really strange methods. I saw him play with Hybrid at Coachella 2006 (this was before I had met him), and I remember at one point he turned his guitar around and started playing the springs on the back. It was a very memorable performance, which is why I was really excited when we started working with Peter to make content for Samplebase.

Now after a bit of hard work, we are happy to announce Peter DiStefano's first SoundBlock, Exosphere - Experimental Guitar. We've tried to capture a wide range of Peter's sonic spectrum with this SoundBlock. It's got everything from light and ethereal to dark and heavy.
