Sample-Based Sound Design and Character

The core of PLAY+ Bundle is a sample-based synth engine. Each sample can be shaped with sample start, a pitch LFO, time stretch, a lo-fi effect and a tilt EQ. These feed into a filter with 14 types, a filter envelope and LFO, and an amp envelope.

A three-slot effects chain offers distortion, delay, chorus and reverb. Together these let you move a sample well beyond its original timbre, from subtle coloration to heavily processed textures.

The developer describes the presets as professionally programmed track starters. You can also lock the samples and swap in other preset parameters for quick variations.

Controls, Modulation and Browsing

A modulation wheel has four assignable destinations, and four easy controls can be mapped to the parameters you want to automate or perform. The presets are organized by instrument, genre and label, which helps narrow down a search when you need a specific sound.

The four performance controls can also be used while browsing, so you can audition ideas before committing to a patch.

The bundle includes a audio limiter at the output stage.
