E-MU Systems has just announced the release of the Emulator X3 Streaming Sampling Synthesizer, which offers users both 32-bit and native 64-bit applications, as well as multi-processor and multi-threading support. X3 also does away with that pesky E-MU hardware dongle, which will please almost everyone. The Emulator X3 allows users to reap the benefits of E-MU's Xstream streaming sound engine with up to 192kHz sampling and playback, plus a wide range of tools for analyzing and editing samples and beats. Also new in X3 is the Region Xplode Beat Slicer, which turns your drum recordings into MIDI files. Xplode takes a selected region, generates new voices and maps new regions to MIDI notes. Another cool feature, TwistaLoop, analyzes and exports a song's Tempo Map so users can synchronize rhythm tracks to performances recorded off a click. Your Sweetwater Sales Engineer can tell you more!
