Infinity DSP Sample Looping Tools

Buy ItImagine taking a raw sample, and then, with just a few mouse clicks, creating a loop so perfect that you can't tell when it started or where it repeats. Imagine doing that with sounds that are impossible to loop smoothly using your current sample editor, like string orchestras, choirs, fat analog synths, chorused guitars, and so on. Infinity lets you do that, quickly and easily.

Infinity is a powerful Macintosh-based DSP tool kit designed to be used in conjunction with your current sample editor. It uses unique DSP technologies to automate and improve the looping process, taking sample editing to a new level of quality, speed, and simplicity.

Infinity allows you to loop everything from solo woodwinds to huge synth stacks with dramatic improvements in quality and speed. This means that you don't have to put up with rhythmic pulsing or lifeless sustains any longer. Infinity preserves the "liveness" of your samples because it has a looping tool appropriate for every type of sound.

Using Infinity's unique DSP technologies, beginners can get results which are superior to professionals using normal sample editors. For professionals, Infinity provides a level of quality, speed, and simplicity far beyond what's possible with conventional sample editing tools. For looping sound, nothing on earth can equal Infinity.
FEATURES

Real Time Loop Adjust lets you move the loop points during real-time playback, allowing you to locate the best loop points by ear.

The SPR Looper automatically creates seamless loops in chorused and ensemble sounds while preserving the exact sound color and stereo image of your sample. The resulting loop data can be automatically merged with the attack portion of your sample.

The Synthesis Looper allows you to control the frequency domain sidelobe energy of the loop, and selectively smooth out lumpy sounding frequencies in chorused and ensemble sounds. The new sound is more stable and loop repetitions are less noticeable.

 

The Rotated Sums Looper allows you to randomly layer multiple copies of the loop data to "homogenize" the sound while preserving your original loop points. Perfect for improving those problem loops on CD-ROMs and for special effects.

The Freeze Looper creates perfect loops in sounds like winds, brass, and other solo sounds that have a clear harmonic series.

The Crossfade Looper with Smart Auto-Scan is an enhanced crossfade tool with an intelligent loop point scanner that lets you find the best loop point automatically.

New in Version 3.18:

Full support for 24 bit files

Support for 88.2 kHz and 96 kHz playback via the Sound Manager

Full 32 bit floating point audio processing

Unlimited Undo/Redo nesting

Support for the AIFC file format
SPECIFICATIONS

Infinity requires Mac OS 9.x. Infinity is compatible with any Macintosh Sound Manager compatible hardware. Infinity reads and writes stereo and mono sound files in Sound Designer, AIFF, and AIFC file formats.

Sample Editing Tools

Edit functions: Cut, Copy, Paste, Clear Unselected, Clear, Mix, Invert, Reverse, Silence, Create/Delete Loop Points, Select Loop Points, Select All, Set MIDI Note, Auto Zero, Show Clipboard

Special Edit functions: Real Time Loop Adjust, Variable Edit Blend Time and Taper, Switchable Window Modes, Enable/Disable Clipboard, Enable/Disable Undo

i think this applications 'seamless looping' technology is responsible for countless late 90s hits
such as the entire Bob Sinclar "paradise" album
alot of them feature these unending disco atmospheric loops
like featured in this:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1ym4SrpLG8[/youtube]
http://www.discogs.com/Bob-Sinclar-Paradise/master/49622

and the atmospheric backing of this:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIp3QxBuozU[/youtube]
http://www.discogs.com/Discowboys-On-A-Houseride/release/59359


any house head fan who was around during those years would instantly recognize these tunes
some of you people who arent into this type of music probably will not

but im sure there are other examples of antares infinity's application in other forms of music
if u have any suspect please post!

does anyone know if antares infinity v1.0 was released in 1998?
the info from 2000-2001-2002
starts at v2 v3

Hello folks, I have tried downloading Infinity from the links above but after installation I am told that "Required Software Extensions need to be updated" and it transfers me to a dead PACE site link, any Ideas how to make this work?

Thanks in advance

Did you tried to install PACE drivers?

I had the same problem myself! it kept directing me to this site right?
http://www.paceap.com/support/support.html
I bought Pro Tools 7 LE a few years back and after switching from a PC to a MAC wanted to install it there and encountered the same issue.
It was driving me mad until i realised that at the bottom of the page it states..

"*Note that as of April 16, 2007, we no longer support Mac OS 9. If this installer does not work for you, please contact the software publisher that provided you with the protected software."

So i went to the Avid site and filled in my setup details in the support area (found at this link) http://avid.custkb.com/avid/app/self...mmunity15=1409
and got linked to a firmware update, all works fine now.
Hope this helped!

Pace Interlok Drivers
Pace InterLok driver updates for some Plug-In copy protection used on the following systems:

    Avid Symphony on Windows NT. Fixes "Drive inaccessable. Media may have changed" errors when working with removable iomega Jaz and Zip media after installing Digidesign Audiosuite Plug-Ins.

Other Mac and Windows users with iLok authorized plug-ins may also need to update to the most current version of the iLok drivers for their operating system.

Pace's driver should work fine, they even have an OS9 driver
PACE Anti-Piracy -- Download -- Drivers

https://www.paceap.com/dldrvr.html This send you to a Oops! page with a "Legacy Installer" link. For me https://www.paceap.com/support.html;jsessionid=77f0414baafc4fcb04eb44461ecb but it could change. (Session id¿?)

I guess the "Tiger and below" option should have an OS9 part, but it is a DMG... YMMV

it seems that his problem is that on both original locations, paceap.com and ilok.com, the driver support for any system below OSX 10.5 is gone.

I never needed to install anything PACE related on OS9 to work with PT 5LE 5.1.1 aside the CD (On OSX and W.XP yes).

Maybe PT force install a primitive PACE extensions... Or I always used cracked plugs...I have to check it.

I have Autotune 3 RTAS or AudioSuite and it never asked. Same for MicModeler.

Later added http://web.archive.org/web/20020605062342/http://ilok.com/main.html but can't get OS9 files.

infinity is very old, that is probably why it tries to download them off the internet.

when i think about it, i also dont know about any other product which would do this.

not really. when you bought protools HD you had the interlok installer on the CD.

but now, here in the future, we can host it. for the next generation.

Firstly, thank you for all for your help and positive suggestions, however,

I am sure I am at fault, I downloaded the machfive and the interclock  updates and it wouldn't play ball, however, I didn't download all of them, so I will try again later when I am back on my machine....

But principally I just wanted to thank y'all for the Help and for pointing me in the right direction.

Do I need to have ilok in order to use this program?

the demo? should have some type of trial period where the app shoudl be usable.. but being that it requires ilok for long term use, it may require interlok drivers be installed and maybe even a physical usb ilok in a usb port for the trial to work.
i havent installed it or tried it yet myself! so im afraid thats all i can offer!

the only other thing i can think of is maybe the demo has a finite (no pun intended)  hard coded date that the demo is no longer usable.. ie: may require setting back your system date/time. but this is just speculation on my part!

it is most likely that all demo versions require the driver software. if they would not, the implementation of this particular copy protection scheme would be rendered to a useless state. they did that later with the ilok hardware key, too. many people still prefer the hardware dongle, there was too much hassle with the old style methods.

I have downloaded a the drivers from the motu page and installed all of them, aswell as the interlok package (which appears to install so fast that it is hard to see if it is installing anything at all)

I then set the system clock to 1990 as per Chris's suggestion, nothing works it automaticaly brings up the driver dialog.....so then as you say it must be a question of having the hardware dongle, even for the demo.

Thank you all very much for your help nonetheless

u dont have an ilok?
u can buy a new empty ilok for like 49.99
most people have them from getting it with a software or hardware package that comes with 1..
i have like 3 of them (not including my emagic ones)

im guessing it somehow records the start date of the trial onto it?

the pace drivers were also needed for the HD based authorisation, i dont think the ilok existed in these days. when i recall right, my first dongle were only required for TDM products.
