Toybox releases Vintage Sampler & Vintage Sampler Lite for Reaktor

Toybox has released Vintage Sampler and Vintage Sampler Lite, two new blocks for the Reaktor Blocks virtual-modular platform. Here's what they say:

The blocks have the ability to 'sample' audio from their input port (like a real hardware sampler), for independent recording and playing back of samples and the controls have been laid out to make jamming with a sample very easy and fun.

A high-quality playback engine allows click-free looping, juggling and granulizing of samples using the CROSSFADE control, plus there are 5 different FM modes including a 'scratch' mode for scratching effect.

The 'Vintage Sampler' block features high quality modelling of a variety of vintage hardware samplers (not available in the lite version), accurately emulating the signal path of several vintage units. The sampler has 5 different 'models' which can be selected from the block's 'Options' page: TOY1, TOY2, 80s, 90s and CLEAN.

Price: The 'Vintage Sampler Lite' block is available for free as part of the Toybox User Blocks Pack and the 'Vintage Sampler' block can be purchased for $19 (or just $14.25 using the current SPOOKY25 discount). Reaktor 6.4 (not the player version) is required to use either block.

The blocks are available on the toybox website: toyboxaudio.com
