Ableton's Summer of Sampler offer — buy Live 8 and get Sampler free
Berlin, Germany (July 2, 2009) - Ableton is launching a special deal for the summer of 2009. Every customer who buys Ableton Live 8 before August 31st will get Sampler, Ableton's advanced sampling instrument, absolutely free. Sampler, worth EUR 99/USD 129, combines traditional sampling features with advanced sound design functions. Although perfectly well suited to handling multi-gigabyte instrument libraries, it's Sampler's sound design capabilities that make the instrument really unique. Sampler gives musicians and producers precise control over every detail of sound-shaping, creating vibrant and complex sounds from even the most basic audio source material.
A new movie, "Making sounds with Sampler," shows how Sampler transforms a single piano note into an organic, modulating synth bass. Download "Making sounds with Sampler" (high quality, 83 MB) here: http://downloads.ableton.com/movies/sampler.mp4
Free audio pack for Sampler: Samplification
All Sampler owners, old and new, can also download the free Samplification audio package, which offers Construction Kits, Live Sets with drum clips, new Instrument Racks, new lessons, and sounds from Puremagnetik, Cycling '74 and Sonarte's Sound Objects Lite collection. Samplification will kick-start any Live user's sampling skills and demonstrate what Sampler is really capable of.
Samplification is available here: http://www.ableton.com/samplification
Samplification is a Live Pack — 420 MB download, 950 MB installed. Samplification requires Sampler and Live 8.0.4 or higher.
