VstAtlasVirtual

VST – VST3 x64 140 MB. Algonaut a released a new artificial intelligence powered sampler that aims to change the way you find sounds and make beats. Atlas allows you to see all of your samples in one place with a map based on style and character. You can generate unlimited drum kits with your own samples and speed up your workflow using. Atlas is a sample manager that also may be used as a basic drum VST. A unique ability and perhaps its biggest problem is that it classifies your samples according to what Atlas thinks they are. If it doesn't understand where a sample fits in its classification then it doesn't report it or classify it.

What is ATLAS?

The initial aim of ATLAS is to survey 4500 deg2 of the Southern Sky athigh galactic latitudes to comparable depths to the SDSS in the North. TheVST ATLAS will be the first step towards a panoramic digital survey of theSouthern Sky in the optical bands. The ATLAS will complement the proposedVISTA Hemisphere Survey in the South. A prime science driver is todetermine the dark energy equation of state by detecting 'baryon wiggles'in the power-spectrum of ~450000 z~0.7 Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs), usingeither photo-z from VST ATLAS + VHS imaging or spectroscopic redshifts viathe new AAOmega instrument. Other uses include the colour selection of QSOcandidates out to z~7. Further potential dark energy probes existincluding LRG z-space distortion, the Integrated Sachs-Wolfe Effect andthe dependence of QSO lensing on redshift. Finally, the VST ATLAS+AAOmegawill feed VLT with rare galaxy and QSO targets for high resolutionspectroscopy, constituting a new and uniquely powerful tool for surveycosmology.
The survey started in August 2011. Processing is being done at the Cambridge Astronomy Survey Unit (CASU), whilst the data release is being prepared by the Wide Field Astronomy Unit (WFAU) at the ROE. DR2 is now available from the ESO archive.
