Introduction
The TAL-Sampler is a sample-player plugin available as VST, Audio Unit and AAX.
You can load and play your own samples in every common sample format (*.wav,
*.aiff, *.aif, *.mp3, *.ogg, *.flac). The sampler can play up to four totally independent
layers; this means four samples with their own settings, at the same time. There is
also a simple sfz import for samples including the mapping.
Unlike other samplers, TAL-Sampler has the same setting like analogue synthesizers
including a powerful modulation matrix, a high quality self-oscillating 24/12/6 dB low
pass filter and almost every parameter is automatable. You can choose between
different digital analog converters to get the real vintage sound of different sampler
inside your DAW.
Some nice additions like a real-time time stretcher and the possibility to modulate or
automate the sample loop positions gives this sampler a lot of possibilities to create
new sounds.
It’s tested and works within the most common audio hosts as Ableton Live, Cubase,
Logic Pro, Garage Band, Reaper and DSP-Quattro. No standalone version available.
Try the unregistered demo version to be sure that the plugin works in your
environment. The demo will play a noisy sound every minute.
Please use at your own risk. We take no responsibility for any damage caused by our
VST, AU (Audio Unit) and AAX plug-ins.

- Download the file install_TAL-Sampler.zip and unzip it.
- Execute install_vst_32.exe if you want to install the 32 bit version of the plugin
or install_vst_64.exe if you have a 64bit host (sequencer). Please read the
manual of your sequencer to find out whether it needs 32 or 64 bit plugins. It’s
also possible to install both versions of the plugin.
-
Step through the wizard and choose the path where you want to install the
plugin. Please read the manual of your host to get more information where this
directory is.
In hosts like Cubase, the plugin will show up after a restart. Some hosts need
a plugin rescan. If you use Ableton Live and the plugin does not show up
after a VST plugin rescan, try to disable and re-enable VST plugin support.

Registration
You need to buy and register the plugin to disable the demo mode that fades in a
noisy sound every minute.
The registration process is simple. You need to start the demo plug-in and copy
paste the serial you got with an email after you bought the plugin.
Click on the preset name and Register Plugin… to register the plugin.
This opens the Register Plugin dialog. You have to paste the 32 digit serial number
into the text field and press OK. A click into the text field should be enough to paste
the serial. The plugin is now registered if you entered the serial you received by our
registration email. You can see this on the top left corner of the plugin. The text
Registered should show up.
You maybe restart the host after the registration to make sure that also other
TAL-SAMPLER plug-in instances are registered.

Set Default Preset Path
The first thing you have to do is to set the default preset path. This is the folder where
TAL-SAMPLER is looking for presets if you click on the “Next Preset Arrow” near the
preset name and it’s the location that opens up if you choose load preset from the
menu. You can do this with the menu entry “Set Presets Location”.
Copy all TAL-SAMPLER presets you have into sub folders of the presets location
folder you have chosen. You can now step through the presets with the left and right
arrows near the preset name.
Verify your presets location with “Show Presets Folder…”. This opens the
system file browser at the currently active preset location.
