SONICWARE announced the release of the 'SmplTrek,' a portable production sampler for media creation. The SmplTrek allows for easy sampling and slicing of audio files on the go. This means users can hear a sound while traveling, such as an ocean wave or a wind chime, and quickly record the audio with studio quality. On top of this, the device features dedicated buttons for rewind, override, save, playback, and many more.
Aside from sample recording, the SmplTrek also boasts the ability to store numerous projects, tracks, and scenes locally, as well as the ability to stream full-length audio files remotely from a PC or iMac device. The SmplTrek has several input interface options to allow it to connect to microphones, mobile phones, and other audio devices for professional-grade sampling and media creation while on the go.
