Mimik - Keyboard Cloning Software

Hmm... Open Labs is claiming to be able to clone any synth.



"Open Labs has introduced Mimik, a new keyboard cloning software application that enables users to sample the sounds of virtually any MIDI-enabled keyboard or sound module directly into an Open Labs NeKo or MiKo keyboard station."

Hmm... Sounds like sampling to me.

"Open Labs tell us that, in addition to sampling actual sounds, Mimik can virtually replicate intricate nuances, including keyboard after-touch, at up to 128 velocities, as well as any note range and length, and note-off sound at up to 96 KHz/32 bit samples, in both stereo and mono."

Hmm... Still sounds like sampling to me.

Title link takes you to more on Sonic State. When I first saw this I thought it could be a realization of the PPG Realizer or some sort of resynthesis like the Hartman Neuron. But... It just looks like a sampler with sound editing capabilities. If anyone knows more, please feel free to comment.
