How does “Elastik Inspire Series” work?
The “Elastik Inspire Series” goes beyond previous boundaries of sample libraries. All loops and tonal phrases fit together perfectly every time, even across genres. Each sample is automatically detected and stretched to the song tempo.
The Elastik 2 Player, the 2.7 GB sample library and the elaborate tagging system aid in spontaneously creating new tracks. The workflow is fast, simple and clear.
Any instrument can be replaced with samples of the same instrument group at random via the intelligent random-replacement function. The results always work flawlessly. All samples of the “Elastik Inspire Series” match perfectly. This creates millions of opportunities for new and inspiring tracks.
The “Elastik Inspire Series” represents an inexhaustible source of inspiration especially for creative people in the music, film, multimedia and web industry. Due to the high quality of Ueberschall products, the created tracks can be immediately integrated into one‘s own projects without any further treatment.
What do the different functions mean?
Using the “Random” button, new combinations of instruments can be created automatically. The selected sample will be replaced by a randomly selected sample of the same instrument class. The tagging system keeps track of certain features, such as the type of instrument of the sample. Thereby samples are selected from all genres.
Apart from its new graphic interface, Elastik 2 offers a whole new range of desirable features: The self-explanatory browser, designed for fast access to any loaded sound libraries. Browser features: The multiple filter search function allows quickly to find sounds. Prelisten the whole library content in-sync to host tempo and tag favorite samples.
