Sampler
Overview
Section titled “Overview”The Sampler voice (SMPL) lets you load audio files and play them as instruments. It’s a full-featured sampler with slicing, pitch control, and BPM sync.
Switch any track to Sampler via the SMPL tab in the Dock panel.
Loading Samples
Section titled “Loading Samples”Tap the LOAD button or drag and drop an audio file onto the waveform area. Supported formats: WAV, MP3, OGG, FLAC (max 10 MB per sample).
Parameters
Section titled “Parameters”| Param | Label | Description |
|---|---|---|
| STRT | Start | Sample start point (0.0–1.0) |
| END | End | Sample end point (0.0–1.0) |
| PTCH | Pitch | Pitch shift in semitones (±24) |
| DCY | Decay | Amplitude decay time |
| REV | Reverse | Reverse playback (OFF / ON) |
Chop Mode
Section titled “Chop Mode”Slice the sample into equal segments for breakbeats and drum loops.
| Param | Label | Description |
|---|---|---|
| CHOP | Slices | Slice count: OFF / 8 / 16 / 32 |
| MODE | Mode | MAP — note pitch selects slice; SEQ — each trigger advances to next slice |
Chopping is non-destructive. Set CHOP back to OFF to return to the full sample.
BPM Sync & Loop
Section titled “BPM Sync & Loop”| Param | Label | Description |
|---|---|---|
| BPM | Sample BPM | Original sample tempo (0 = OFF). When set, playback rate auto-scales to match project BPM |
| LOOP | Loop | 1SHT (one-shot) or LOOP (continuous loop) |
| STRC | Stretch | RPTC (repitch — changes pitch with tempo) or WSLA (WSOLA — preserves pitch) |
- Layer samples with synth voices: Use one track for the sample and another for a synth layer to add body
- Reverse fills: Enable REV on a copied pattern for transition effects
- Micro-sampling: Set STRT and END very close together for granular textures
- Breakbeat slicing: Set CHOP to 16 with SEQ mode for classic breakbeat patterns
