BLEASS SampleWiz 2
Sample Synthesizer Virtual Instrument
Born of the imagination of legendary keyboardist Jordan Rudess and the software engineering excellence of French audio developer BLEASS, SampleWiz 2 is a unique and powerful S&S (sample & synthesis) instrument.
BLEASS SampleWiz 2 combines modern features such as granular and cloud sample engines, MPE, and iOS/desktop interoperability, with the satisfying, rapid workflow of classic hardware samplers.
Over a career spanning more than 40 years (and counting), Jordan Rudess has built a formidable reputation.
His exquisite skills as a keyboardist have graced the recordings and tours of Dream Theater, David Bowie, Liquid Tension Experiment and Rod Morgenstein to name but a few.
Jordan is also recognised as something of a savant in the world of sound design, and has collaborated over many years with synth manufacturers such as Korg, Moog and IK Multimedia.
And as if that weren’t enough feathers for one cap, Jordan is a pioneer in the use of iOS in music creation and performance, and has worked on numerous groundbreaking music apps over the last decade, for example Geoshred and Morphwiz.
With SampleWiz 2, BLEASS has distilled the phenomenal breadth and depth of Jordan’s expertise and experience into an intuitive synthesizer that will unleash your sonic imagination, inspiring both your musical and sound design creativity.
With just a few swipes of your finger, or a couple of clicks of your mouse, you can easily capture any sound or import any sample - a few more swipes/clicks will transform your sound into a playable, characterful synth voice.
And with full support for MPE Slide and Pressure, SampleWiz 2 allows you to create nuanced and deeply expressive performances.
With its unique iOS / desktop interoperability, BLEASS SampleWiz 2 fits in with your way of creating and performing too.
You can capture and work on sounds whilst out-and-about using the iOS app or AUv3 plugin, then transfer your creation to your computer via AirPlay or iCloud where you can incorporate it into a bigger project.
Conversely, you can take a favourite sound from your Windows or Mac computer and transfer it to your iPad or iPhone ready for use in a live performance, where you to take full advantage of the iOS version's intuitive touch screen performance controls.
Creating original sounds with BLEASS SampleWiz 2 is as easy and fun as it is to load and play presets.
The UI has been carefully designed to give a natural, intuitive workflow, with delightfully simple sampling or import of sounds, and a comprehensive suite of tools for chopping, granularizing, modulating, and adding effects to your sound designs.
These are distributed across six tabs.
