Sampling Workflow and Sound Shaping

Sampler One is built around fast sample import. You drag a WAV, AIF or NCW file onto the interface, and the instrument detects the root key and pitch automatically. Start, end and loop points are edited visually on the waveform.

From there, the sound is shaped with a low-pass and high-pass filter using a 12dB ladder design, an LFO that can target filter, pitch or pan, and either ADSR or Hold envelopes. Random sample start is available in forward playback, and reverse playback and key tracking can be switched on as needed.

The developer describes the instrument as bringing a more advanced tempo sync approach to a vintage sampler concept. The TM Pro playback mode adds formant shift and speed controls for time-stretching.

Playback Modes and Snapshot Library

Sampler One offers two playback modes, Sampler and TM Pro, and two edit modes, Standard and Single Key Edit. The arpeggiator and adjustable key range add options for melodic and rhythmic patches.

The instrument includes more than 250 snapshots with samples, about 220 MB of WAV files, so you can start from finished sounds and adapt them. Sampler One is also NKS ready, with pre-mapped automation for Komplete Kontrol.
