Celemony & Ueberschall collaboration announced

Celemony Software and German sample specialist Ueberschall announced a new collaboration at NAMM. The primary objectives of the joint venture are the development of sample based VST instruments employing the Melodyne engine and the creation of a high quality sample library for Melodyne users.

The first fruits of the synergy are expected to be seen at the Frankfurt Musikmesse - a new type of VST instrument, the samples of which Melodyne will also be capable of importing.

Ueberschall CEO Uwe Kinast comments - "The Melodyne engine makes it possible to handle sampled phrases and loops in a totally new manner and brings about an enormous increase in the possibilities of a sample VST instrument: with this technology, licks even within a sample can be adapted in pitch, tempo and timing to your own songs, enabling the same sample to be used in a hundred different forms."
