Crossfade Loop Synth v2
Crossfade Loop Synth v3 is here!
It plays samples in the classic sampler manner - by simply altering the playback speed according to the desired note. No fancy timestretching or pitchshifting is applied.
You can control how the sample is looped as it is played. An adjustable amount of crossfade can be applied to the loop endpoints to smooth the transitions. This makes it extremely easy to produce glitch-free pad sounds.
The loops can also be played backwards and alternately forwards and backwards (pendulum-style).
Further sound processing can be applied in the form of overdrive/saturation, filtering and envelopes.
The synth is 32 note polyphonic, and all parameters can be controlled by MIDI controllers.

The previous version (1.3) is freeware, and still available here.
