Independent audio developer Flavio Passa (formerly StudioMob Canada) has announced the release of Xtractpler v3.5.1, a massive update to the cross-platform multi-velocity sample extractor.
Designed to eliminate the tedious “grunt work” of building sample libraries, Xtractpler completely automates the process of recording, transient-aware slicing, and mapping audio from both hardware and software instruments.
Rebuilt from the ground up, version 3.5.1 introduces a Next-Gen Audio Engine capable of 32-bit float / 96kHz processing. The software now features native VST3 and AU plug-in hosting, allowing sound designers to capture entire virtual instruments in seconds via fast offline audio rendering.
For hardware synthesizer enthusiasts and acoustic musicians, the new Guided Live Capture mode offers a streamlined recording experience, including a highly requested “Retake” feature that allows users to instantly overwrite a mistake without restarting the entire capture session.
Crucially for instrument creators, Xtractpler v3.5.1 bridges the gap between raw audio and playable instruments by automatically exporting ready-to-play mapping files for Decent Sampler (.dsbundle) and SFZ formats, complete with pre-configured ADSR envelopes.
Key Features in Xtractpler v3.5.1
- Automated Workflow: A newly redesigned, crash-proof 5-step GUI (Configure, Plug-ins, Capture, Review, Export).
- Blazing-Fast Capture: Host VST3/AU plugins for instantaneous offline rendering, bypassing real-time recording waits.
- High-Resolution Audio: Support for pristine 32-bit float / 96kHz audio processing and export in WAV, FLAC, and OGG formats.
- Hardware Ready: Inter-App audio routing and Live Capture mode with a one-click “Retake” function for external gear.
- Instant Mapping: One-click export of fully mapped Decent Sampler and SFZ instruments.
- Cross-Platform Native: Highly optimized engines for macOS (Apple Silicon only), Windows (Intel), and Linux (Intel).
