Skylife has announced an update for the sampling software SampleRobot. The new WaveRobot software for professional loop editing is fully integrated. SampleRobot version 2 comes with WaveRobot already included.

New in Version 2

• WaveRobot (fully scalable wave editor for professional loop editing)
• Improved interface design (coloring, workflow, hide-panels)
• MIDI capture function (With this function activated all played note
  velocities and all incoming MIDI controller information will
  automatically be captured in the Multi-Sample section allowing perfect
  MIDI remote control of all sound sources.)
• MIDI Note In display (All played notes are now displayed on SampleRobot’s virtual keyboard.)
• Comprehensive copy functions for Multi-Samples (Now it is possible
  to combine Multi-Samples from different projects to create huge layer
  sounds and velocity-splits.)
• ChessRobot (This game makes waiting during recording a lot easier
  since you can play a nice game of chess in the meantime. ChessRobot
  runs independently and offers different challenge levels.)
• New additional display resolution 1280×1024 supported
• Minimize display option (450×300 pixels) with full editing capabilities
• Optimized Note-In recognition
• Optimized ASIO playback (no more clicks when stopping wave or tuning oscillator playback)
• Optimized VSTi recording (secondary audio buffer implemented)
• Optimized Autoloop recognition (now usually about 15 times faster)
• Numerous additional improvements in detail
