Ableton is beginning the summer with a special offer. Every customer who purchases Ableton Live 8 by 31 August 2009 will receive Sampler, worth almost €100, free of charge.
Sampler is Ableton’s versatile software instrument. It combines traditional sampling with extensive functions for first-class sound design. Although ideally suited to multi-gigabyte instrument libraries, Sampler’s sound-design qualities make the instrument truly unique. Sampler gives musicians and producers precise control over every detail of sound design by creating dynamic, complex sounds even from the simplest audio sources.
The Ableton Live 8 plus Sampler offer is available from specialist retailers and the Ableton webshop.
Free Audio Package for Sampler: Samplification
All existing and new Sampler users also receive a free Samplification Live Pack, including construction kits, Live Sets with drum clips, new instrument racks, new lessons, and sounds from Puremagnetik, Cycling ’74, and the Sonartes Sound Objects Lite Collection. Samplification gives every Live user’s sampling capabilities many new possibilities and demonstrates what Sampler can truly do.
Samplification is a 450MB download requiring 950MB when installed. It requires Sampler and Live 8.0.4 or later.
