Overview

Plays MIDI music the way it should be played.

BANDSTANd boasts unmatched sample-quality and ease of use establishes a benchmark far beyond conventional GM modules. The software's intuitive sound-mixing tools and exceptional effects deliver flexibility that makes Bandstand the ideal tool in a wide range of situations.

Unrivaled Sound

Bandstand combines a state-of-the-art sampling engine with over 2 GB of professional samples and 128 instruments, including warm basses, tight drums, sparkling guitars, lush strings, resonant pianos, and many more high-end sounds. The pristine quality of the samples included raises the bar considerably.

Easy and Intuitive

The clearly structured and intuitive interface neatly balances the highly advanced technology within. Great care has been taken to ensure that the Bandstand plugin is both simple to understand and easy to use--the perfect tool for compositional tuition at music colleges. The Quick Edit bar ensures manipulating sounds is effortless. Support of all standard plug-in formats equips Bandstand for sequencer-based production work, while the stand-alone mode lends itself to live performances.

An Accomplished Player

Whether it's your own composition or an all-time classic, Bandstand injects just the right sound. The integrated MIDI file player delivers the performance of a lifetime, every time. Adjusting the mix or replacing instruments is easy. High quality effects, a loop function, and groove quantization allows a personal touch to be added. Bandstand will change the way sound modules and General MIDI are perceived.

The Sample Library

The superb quality of the sample library included in the Bandstand software meet the rigorous caliber demands that are the hallmark of all Native Instruments (NI) products. These samples were crafted by NI's very own sound design experts. A selection of specialist companies also contributed to the outstanding Bandstand sample library. These samples were then subjected to a special NI mastering process, ensuring a uniform sonic character was achieved.
