Tech Audio released Shrapnel 1.1 with free factory presets. The physics-driven MIDI generator and sampler gets a factory menu, and licensed users can grab the Shrapnel Factory Pack as a free download. It contains 100 presets across 10 categories.
The recordings have full clearance, making them safe for commercial work. Juan Uribe, David Dumais, Ariel Gross, Anthony Turi, and George Bafaloukos contributed presets.
Factory presets live in nested folders. Hovering over one displays the creator and notes. The info panel covers the name, creator, and notes, with edits available. Users can pick which preset appears in each fresh Shrapnel instance.
Pitch snapping lets users map MIDI output to a musical key. Alternate semitone offsets work in granular, sampler, and audio input slots.
Spawn Rate can reach a low of 0.1 Hz. A log-scaled slider makes those slow settings easier to dial in. A sample group file may run for 120 seconds, compared with the earlier 30-second cap.
Voice stealing is less abrupt. When stealing a voice, Shrapnel applies the collider's Fade time. The previous voice releases gradually rather than ending abruptly.
Windows and macOS are both supported, with VST3, AU, AAX, CLAP, and a standalone app in the lineup. The price sits at $49 USD. Current customers receive the 1.1 update free. A demo version is on hand.
