PRESS RELEASE
IK Multimedia Introduces STRETCH Virtual Synth Engine
March 09, 2003
Advertisement IK Multimedia announced its new STRETCH synth-engine which will be included in its future generation of sample-based virtual instruments. STRETCH combines new technology with a completely new approach to sampled sounds to deliver a new standard of musical realism. STRETCH provides total control over just about every aspect of sounds, making virtual instruments more natural sounding. Traditional samplers or sample-based sound modules produce adjacent notes by "resampling" the sample contained in the key note. To stay in tune, this old-style technology plays samples faster or slower, which is the reason many natural instruments loose their realism when played by a sampler or a sample-based sound module. STRETCH uses a sampling technique called Time Resynthesis to play adjacent samples in tune WITHOUT changing the tempo. This provides full control over the tempo and pitch of the samples. Plus STRETCH expands sonic capabilities with full-control of an instrument's basic frequency distribution to tailor tone and push the limits of creative sound designing to an entire new level. Full control over loop banks for instant creative power:
Availability STRETCH will appear soon in the IK collection of sample-based virtual instruments. For updates on STRETCH news, visit www.sampletank.com and join SampleTank mailing list. For more information, visit their web site at http://www.ikmultimedia.com/.
