Note: not available yet in Instrument Manager™; will be implemented in a future version.

Instrument Manager™ comes with an integrated multisample streaming playback engine. "Streaming" means that it does not rely wholly on loading samples into memory, but plays the sample back from the disk as needed. This is very handy as it reduces load time to nothing, and you are more able to build and work with instruments without the engine trying to "keep up".

You can playback an Instrument or a Sample by simply hitting the space bar when the focus is on a Instrument or Sample on your list. Or you can play an Instrument via your MIDI keyboard (of course when selected). MIDI and Audio controls are available in the Preferences dialog.

Master Volume is NOT available in Instrument Manager™, mostly because different sound configurations differ on if they make it available or not. So we just hand you the responsibility of turning up.down down Instrument Manager™ on your system.

IMPORTANT: This is the first generation of the streaming engine, and as a result simply plays back the samples and reproduces the tuning, looping, level, and playback attributes. Real-time parameters such as Envelopes, LFO's, Filtering, and similar partial parameters will not be reflected when playing the pads via MIDI or by clicking on the Pads. The streaming playback engine has not been developed to that point yet, although we are working toward it and will be implemented in later versions of this software.
