I just was impressed. [snip] Here's the link to the release announcement on Harmony Central, with a screenshot. http://www.harmony-central.com/Newp/2001/Live-10-Ships.html and a second screenshot on the recent announcement they've released it for Mac OS X: http://www.harmony-central.com/Newp/2002/Live-OS-X-Update.html Also, I am interested to get a look at this Native Instruments KONTAKT software sampler when it's available. http://namm.harmony-central.com/WNAMM02/Content/Native_Instruments/PR/Kontakt.html especially the "integrated loop editor" that is decribed as "Samples can be trimmed and looped within the main sampler window. The built-in graphical loop-editor features seamless looping with a sophisticated autocorrelation algorithm and supports up to eight loops per sample." best, Steve burnett@pobox.com
