Developer Calle Wilund (aka CWI Technology) has released v2.0 of TX16Wx, a freeware sampler instrument in VSTi plugin format for Windows (beta release).
The first public beta of TX16Wx 2.0 has been released on the all new website. Version 2 adds a completely new re-sizable GUI with full undo/redo and context sensitive help. It has a built-in file browser and uses drag and drop editing of content.
TX16Wx 2.0 beta is available for free download via CWI Technology (4.4MB download size, 32-bit & 64-bit VSTi plugin for Windows).
Although I generally liked the features of the original TX16Wx, I was a bit dissapointed by the workflow and never really got used to using this sampler. However, the new version seems to solve many of the workflow issues.
It comes with a built-in browser and supports drag and drop editing (very important for me, since I like loading samples quickly). There’s a vast amount of other new features, all of which are listed on the official website linked below.
CWI Technology has also announced a shareware version of this sampler (scheduled for release in late 2012), called TX16Wx Pro. It will feature built-in effects, input processing, and several other advanced features.
Anyway, I’m really looking forward to testing out the beta version. It seems like Shortcircuit 1 is finally getting some really serious competition in the freeware realm.
