OT - Izotope's PhatMatik Pro...sweet!
Just wanted to share some joy -
If any of you are familer with Recycle, this prog. Is similar with quite a few nice additions. It's from the Glaresoft guys that made iDrum, (which I also love)
http://www.izotope.com/products/audio/phatmatik/
It's Basically a beat slicer / sampler / midi loop creator. Just got it yesterday. It is a breeze to work with and speeds up my work flow dramatically.
1) Take a loop
2) It auto-slices at the transients, (16th, 32nds etc.)
3) spreads each hit across your keyboard
4) let's you drag the midi file right into your DAW so you can tweak there.
5) you can record just the hits you want out of the loop via MIDI.
6) plays at any speed without warping or changing pitch
7) Reverse, pitch, distort, filter, loop individual slices
I know most of this can be done in LIVE, but this program does it with ease and without warping which means you can play any loop at any speed without warp artifacts. It runs as a plug with 16 channels per instance.

phatmatik does rule but I have found some bugs with it in live.
If you map certain knobs on a controller to certain controls in phatmatik when using lives mapping stuff some of them are switched up.
Also there is no way to get access it seems to individual slice controls via midi controller, just the master knobs.

Phatmatik Pro is by far my favourite vsti plugin... it's super-grossly quick to work with - drag and drop, hit slice, play midi.
Yes, Guru does more stuff. But hell, a lot of high-end sampling vstis have slicing too, that doesn't make them *good* slicers. Phatmatik is.
These days I load it into maxMSP and trigger the slices from a custom sequencer. Load-time is fast, overhead low.

mbp 2.66, osx 10.6.8, 8GB ram.
I downloaded the demo a couple months ago during a demo downloading frenzy and at the time had no idea what slicing was and I couldn't figure out what the Hell it did. Once I figured out the concept the demo expired. Damnit.
So next question. Anybody know of a US retailer or US web based retailer that sells this? It seems like it is only available from their site (last I checked) and that means you pay a lot more.

In the last few months I've been dropping softsynths and have gone back to primarily real and virtual analog hardware synths. However, there are a few bits of software I won't do without, one of the is definately Phatmatik Pro. The others are:
Sculpture
Vanguard
QuadraSID
Crystal
I have a MonoMachine that has a SID synth replicated inside but it doesn't do that lofi splat like QuadraSID does.

It was as if someone shook up a 6 foot can of blood soda and suddenly popped the top.
