INTAKT is a state-of-the-art sampler specifically designed for rhythmic loop playback, manipulation, and mayhem. INTAKTΓÇÖs convenient one-screen interface offers tremendous sound shaping abilities without disrupting the creative flow. Using multiple algorithms, INTAKT automatically syncs to tempo, and an outstanding library of loops from Zero-G and East West provides ample source material for any musical style. INTAKT also provides a wealth of sound shaping options, including a first-class multimode filter, an envelope follower, two LFOs, effects, and more.
Three Algorithms, Infinite Results
INTAKT features three sample playback algorithms to ensure maximum sound quality for a variety of source material. Using an advanced peak-detection algorithm, the Beat Machine divides the imported audio into individual hits. Each hit can have individual settings for pitch, playback direction, pitch envelope, amplitude envelope, distortion, delay, and more. A MIDI file can be easily exported so that groove, accent, and feel can be manipulated in a host sequencer. The Beat Machine can directly open REX files.
The Time Machine time-stretches or compresses the sound in real time. By first analyzing the source sound, Time Machine can dynamically adapt itself to a wide variety of source sounds, from sustained vocals to polyphonic percussion. The Sampler mode plays back the source sound like a standard sampler, by linking pitch with time. INTAKT uses a sophisticated interpolation to ensure the highest sound quality, even with extreme pitch shifts.
Shape and Create
Not only does INTAKT sync, stretch, and pitch, but it filters, effects and modulates as well. A powerful sound-shaping filter, flexible envelopes, syncable LFOs, and distortion, delay, and lo-fi effects inject energy and life into any loop.
World-Class Library
Zero-G and East West, the worldΓÇÖs two leading producers of professional soundware, have compiled a breathtaking library of thousands of loops covering a broad range of styles. Acoustic drums, ethnic percussion, vintage jazz kits, and rhythmic guitars have been meticulously recorded in the worldΓÇÖs finest studios and are ready for any production.
Even though INTAKT ships with enough loops to produce hundreds of killer tracks, it also imports almost any common sample format. INTAKT keeps the world in sync.
