CK_Modules has released CK_Launcher, a universal sample trigger player.
CK_Launcher is designed to support various hardware trigger units without needing to rely on dedicated Host support and enables a H/W unit to work in a portable environment. It loads up to 72 standard wav files. A user can create their own Keyboard Sample Mapping layouts which can be used by any hardware trigger unit through the CK_Launcher 're-mapping' feature.
Supports:
- Sample Playback rate/pitch.
- Pan/Bal, Level.
- FNC (one-shot/gated play).
- Groups: A new sample will stop any other sample with the same Group ID from playing - Can be good for hihats and mashing up Loops. Velocity can be disabled which allows more reliable live performance since some trigger pads can be unpredictable with velocity.
- Quantized Playback: Option to delay Trigger events to the next Quantise point. Can be helpful to Sync samples precisely together, but does require a little adjustment to playing style.
Price: DonationWare. Download it from Dropbox.
