Developer’s Description

Audio synth and sampling environment

Unity Session is the latest release in the BitHeadz product line. It brings a number of our existing professional software programs into one convenient package. Unity Session combines the functionality of hardware samplers, analog synthesizers, and physically modeled instruments into one fully integrated environment. An instrument so pure in sound, so rich in texture, and so dedicated to the art of creating music that it has united the acoustic past with the electric present to bring you the virtual future of sound generation and creation. Stereo Mixer with MIDI and Audio Effects Session brings the world's of Unity DS-1 and Unity AS-1 (formerly Retro AS-1) together by allowing both programs to be supported within the same Mixer and Editor applications. All of the Libraries, Banks and Programs are now selected and assigned within the same Mixer application. The Unity Editor will allow you to create and/or edit DS-1 and AS-1 banks, as well as opening and converting Gigasampler, Unity 2.x, Retro 2.x Sound Font 2.0, Sample Cell II and DLS files on the fly. In addition to the sample formats available for editing through the Mixer, you will also be able to convert a number of other formats through the conversion utility included in Session. You favorite Akai S-1000/S-3000 and Roland S-760/S-770 formatted samples can easily be converted and brought into Session.

Unity/Bitheadz...terrible

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I will have to agree with the majority of reviews here, Unity/Bitzheadz is a terrible company. I've been using Unity Combo v.3.0, a specially designed product for my school, and grew more frustrated with the upgrades. Recently upgrading to OSX, dp4 and Unity 3.2.2 I thought would be a solid decision. However, I was wrong. Bitheadz, Inc. told me that the program would be more stable and reliable in OSX than in OS9. LIES. This program shouldn't make your computer crash, but it DOES. And I am unaware of any solutions to fix this problem. Tech Support is usually very slow and have you wait hours before they can get back to you, I believe they only have ONE person running support. Hours are very limited which is unfortunate in the event of a real emergency. As for the patches of Unity most are pretty bad, a few have realistic sounds and only about 5 I do really like. Most are doubled-up and have clipping within them. Unity would be a good program to use if you want to make new tracks for Super Mario Brothers 1 or Atari 5800. I plan to never invest in Untiy or associate myself with the Bitheadz, Inc. I found most of my success working with other programs like Korg, Roland and MOTU. I'm suprised this company hasn't been shut down yet.

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Session has been updated several times over the past year (all for free), and works well inside DP as a plug-in and as a stand alone sound module. Its UI is a bit weak (with that odd mixer redraw) but hey, its purpose is to produce sound and this it does very well. Osmosis works well for importing sound libraries, and if you want to get "under-the-hood" in sound manipulation, there is no other soft-sampler with the flexibility of Unity Session.
these guys are still in business???
