What makes a modern sampler? We found many answers to this question, and decided to implement all of them in our radically updated Sampler, available in Bitwig Studio 6.1.
Out now, the Sampler features quick, versatile slicing with advanced functions. It also offers two new play modes – the time-stretching Spectral and the granular Fragments – and major additions to existing modes, including authentic hardware emulation. Automatic tempo and pitch detection revolutionize old workflows and introduce new ones. And there are many more upgrades across the device, including improved multisample editing, a new Bell filter, and an updated interface with new playhead visualizations.
Our updated Sampler makes all audio playable – and ready to color, explore, and perform. It also invites you to sample in ways that weren’t possible before. Create layers from looping slices or apply modulation per slice. Bend a sample’s harmonics to your project key or “auto-tune” an entire sample to the note you’re playing. Modulate your sample’s pulse width, sculpt grains into hypnotic rhythms… The exploration never stops. This is Sampler, Redefined.
