introduced with Version 7 now features surround capabilities and is
shipped with new impulse responses for stereo und surround application.

for efficient and creative use in multi-channel music, broadcasting,
film, and radio play productions
File Archive, Object, Track, Range and Marker Managers

and markers which was developed in cooperation with professional users
enables efficient managing and archiving, as well as management of all
project contents and data directly from within the work environment. Use

listening.
MAGIX Analogue Modeling Suite (Samplitude Professional only)
Simulations of classic, analog musical instruments in Samplitude V8
supplement the already available audio effects. This includes an
analog-style compressor with optional simulation of a tape saturation
effect and a transient designer to influence the percussive audio
material envelope.
MAGIX Elastic Audio (Samplitude Professional only)
The pitch of audio data can be edited in a similar flexible manner as
MIDI files. An Editor is provided for this purpose, which combines pitch
automation with pitch recognition routines and for pitch correction of
monophonic audio material. Several algorithms are available for pitch
automation, including resampling. Monophonic audio material can also be
split up into notes of pitch slices. The pitch of each slice can then be
changed individually. Typical applications of this tool, for example, is
for correcting intonations, or creative use to change or correct
melodies, such as creating second vocals. Pitch automation can also be
used to correct polyphone material (e.g. choir and wind instrument
recordings).

Professional only)
The greatly enhanced MIDI tools allow for flexible and creative use of
internal and external synthesis within the program. The advanced MIDI
Editor features a new designed Multi-Editor for simultaneous display and

Editor including a matrix and cell Editor with graphic velocity option
and convenient Drum Map management enable the processing of Drum
Instruments by means of different editing options.
