LAYER IT: Drum Layering Sampler Plugin by Diginoiz

Each layer includes solo and mute, pan and width controls, multiple filter types with frequency and Q, and multiple distortion types with drive and mix. Playback modes include forward and backward, mono and poly, and trigger or gate behavior. Sample pitch can be set by root note, semitones, cents and keytracking, and each layer has a phase offset with a polarity switch.

Volume can be shaped with an APDSR envelope or a multi-stage MSEG envelope. Multi-stage envelope generators can also control pitch, filter frequency and distortion amount. Bipolar velocity mapping applies to volume, pitch, filter frequency and distortion, and MSEG shapes can be copied and pasted between layers or chosen from predefined templates.

LAYER IT is aimed at beatmakers who want to add an extra layer to a favorite drum sample, producers who want stylish but distinctive drum stacks, and sound designers building complex percussive textures. The plugin offers 155 presets, a preset browser with randomization, and a bundled set of 1300 samples. Users can import their own mono and stereo files in WAV, MP3, WMA, AIFF, FLAC and OGG formats, and layers can be copied and pasted between each other.

For finishing, the output can be metered in dBFS and dBTP, oversampled up to 16x, and A/B compared against another settings state. A global middle C MIDI transpose toggle is included for cross-DAW consistency.
