[Free] VST Samplab, which converts audio loops to MIDI, has been updated to version 2! !

VST Samplab, which converts that audio loop to MIDI, has been updated to version 2! !

Samplab, which I have introduced before, has been updated to version 2.

It's really amazing.

The line between audio and MIDI seems to have faded.

Even with version 2, you can still use up to 10 seconds of samples, even with a free account.

Samplab2 can be roughly divided into the following four ways.

For example, if you copy by ear, you can convert it to Stem once and then convert it to MIDI.
(It's not perfect, but I was able to convert it to MIDI at a level where I could understand the scale.)

I will write a separate article with more details.

Sound demo

Load the sample into SamplabSynchronized with DAW*I tried to edit it a little.

* It's plain, but syncing with this DAW is very convenient.

To synchronize, drag the icon below and drop it on Smplab.
(The dragged MIDI data is control data and is not touched.)

This time, I tried editing using the DAW's piano roll.

I read another MIDI and played it.

Overview and updates

Overview

Samplab is an AI-powered audio editor available as a plugin or desktop app.You can edit sample notes and drums like MIDI.This allows you to combine the ease of use of samples with a wide range of possibilities when working with MIDI.

But it doesn't stop there. Samplab can extract stems (instruments, drums, bass, vocals) from audio.You can also edit and combine any samples at the same time, and Samplab will automatically match the tempo and key.Of course, you can also use it just by turning the audio into a MIDI file.

With this plugin you can perfectly integrate all this into your workflow. A simple drag-and-drop mechanism is used for syncing with your DAW.

Each time you load a new sample, Samplab needs some heavy calculations, which are offloaded to the cloud.You can use the basic version for free with up to 10 seconds per sample, or upgrade to a premium subscription for longer audio.

This will start the download.

The installation is complete when the following screen appears.

Both standalone apps and plugins are available.

Summary

It's evolved tremendously.

For those who copy by ear, Samplab would be very helpful.

In particular, it is efficient to be able to exchange MIDI in sync with the DAW.

And if you use samples, you can create variations of samples, so you can break away from sample loops that tend to get stuck in a rut.

It can also be used to fix cases where dissonance occurs only partially when two samples are layered.

There are many cases where services using the cloud will disappear, so this blog will support them.
