Ueberschall announces a new update for the free sample & loop player Elastik. New features include AAX support for OS X and Windows in 64 bit native mode, a new vintage pitch mode, multiple outs and the Random-Replacement-Filter.


Elastik 2.5 is available as free download on the Ueberschall homepage:

AAX Native
The AAX format allows Elastik 2.5 to be used in the new Pro Tools 11. Elastik supports AAX in OS X and Windows in both 64 bit mode.

Pitch-Speed Mode
The Pitch-Speed mode allows editing of loops as in the pioneering days of sampling. In this mode the pitch of the material changes parallel to the tempo. This spares the transients and keeps the groove, perfect for percussion and drum loops. Especially interesting when looking for ultra deep sounds.

Multiple Outs (16 x stereo)
It will be possible in version 2.5 to route each loop to its own output. This allows individual loops to be treated with external effects or to be mixed differently.

Random-Replacement Filter
Elastik 2.5 improves the Random-Replacement feature. The soundbanks from which new random samples are loaded can be determined using a filter. This can be used to only pick samples from libraries of the same genre or series. A feature that is particularly useful for users of the Inspire Series.

Browser Volume
When previewing Samples in the browser you can now match the volume to your project.

Bug Fixes
In addition to the features mentioned above there are also some minor bug fixes:
- new activation logic: the status of your network card does not change the status of your soundbank anymore.
- sample filter bug: the browser now correctly differentiates between construction kit parts and the key of a sample.
- loading activation file: the activation file can now be loaded with the add button.
- less CPU usage: system optimized for all hosts
Please note that all soundbanks have to be activated again after installing the 2.5 Update! This does not reduce your activation count. In case you want to switch back to Elastik 209, please backup the file "Elastiklibrary.db".

The Elastik player is developed by Ueberschall and zplane.development. Together they are constantly working on new updates to match all future needs for working with loops and samples.
Ueberschalls Elastik player is the idea tool for loop-based music productions. Speed and pitch changes to adapt any loop of the Ueberschall catalogue to your needs are just a few mouse clicks apart. All installed Elastik libraries are displayed in a clearly laid out browser with immediate access to all loops. Because this browser does not only display the content of a single but of all installed Elastik libraries, this gives you a huge remix-pool.

Functions such as resample, formant and reverse as well as a powerful multimode filter with up to 72 dB/oct. slope are oriented towards DJs workflow and grant effective changes to loops for creative sound design.
