 
Constructor, Kontakt Assistant, SamplerTools, Translator 6 Mac and Windows Premiered
The Winter NAMM show, held annually in Anaheim, CA Convention Center, is THE PLACE where new gear appears and new technologies make their appearance.
Chicken Systems is always a fixture at Booth 6921, Hall A, next to Native Instruments. We've been there for six years total and this year was the best ever. We presented four new products.
Introducing a multi-format, cross-platform (Mac and Windows) Instrument Builder , allowing you to create an multisampled Instrument from scratch - using not only WAVE/AIFF sources, but also from any pre-existing instrument OF ANY FORMAT. You can save your Instruments directly into any format too - software AND hardware!
Constructor works in a very generic way -Instruments are simply Instruments, and Banks and simply Banks. Arrange them in any way you desire, modify them in any possible way. Once it's time to export, export out to your desired format. Nothing could be easier.
Constructor is projected to be made available late March 2009.
Kontakt is the go-to sample player these days. Kontakt Assistant™ allows easy organization, editing, and management of your Kontakt Instruments . You can manage your samples links, eliminate duplicate samples, move your files around with automatic relinking. Take advantage of the Script Librarian, where you can automatically put your favorites scripts in all your instruments. You can also build up your favorite modulation combinations, such as GPC1-4 and apply them to any range of Instruments.
You can add or delete samples using the graphical KeyMap View, or edit the real-time parameters using the Parameter Editor. Constructor™ also introduces the concept of View Groups. They allow you to see a section of your Instrument based on your criteria, and hides the rest.
Kontakt Assistant is projected to be released Q2 2009.
Previously advertised as SampleManage, Instrument Manager™ is a new name for a old concept.
You are like everyone else. Your Instrument files are spread out over myriads of hard drive space, CD's, and jump drives. Instrument Manager™ allows you to catalog these in one database. This powerful system enables you to manage these instruments is creative ways - view their contents, move them to a different location, update their linkis, attach metatags and group them in different areas.
Priced very affordably, Instrument Manager is projected for release Q2 of 2009.
Chicken Systems products help you in conversion, construction, and management - all hallmarks of a productive electrionic musician. SamplerTools™ bundles all these powerful tools in one pacakge.
But that's not all - SamplerTools has it's own custom interface tha t isn't just a shell for the included three applications (Translator™, Constructor™, and Instrument Manager™), but allows you to "do it all " from a single simple user interface. Plus it includes all the features (and interfaces if you wish) of all three flagship Chicken Systems products for one low price.
SamplerTools is projected for release Q2 of 2009. Chicken Systems will offer reasonable discounts for current owners of Constructor and Translator.
The year 2008 brought the introduction of the long awaited Translator Mac Universal Binary application, bringing the power of Translator into the Apple Mac world.
This brings forth TranslatorVersion 6, bringing the absolute top of the line features to the already recognized standard of file conversion software.
Translator 6 includes docking dialogs, Universal Import, Fix References, and many other features helping you in the mission-critical realm of sample file conversion. Not on that, it's FREE for registered owners. We do not believe in charging for updates like (most) other companies. You paid only once for Translator, that's the only time we believe you should pay for it. |
