SampleOne XT

PreSonus

Where to get itIncluded with Studio One. It is part of that DAW, not a separate download.presonus.com

SampleOne XT is a full-featured sampler that builds on the strengths of the original SampleOne instrument, offering triggered sampling, automatic time-stretching, a comprehensive range of tone-shaping tools, and flexible onboard effects. It enables musicians and producers to load, map, and manipulate samples across the MIDI keyboard with granular control over pitch, filtering, and amplitude through dedicated envelopes.

Things to Try

  • 01Use the Gater effect with Beat Steps to create syncopated rhythmic patterns by enabling/disabling specific steps in the 16-step grid
  • 02Set the Filter Soft control to engaged mode for a mellower, darker tone, or disengage it for a brighter, more aggressive sound
  • 03Engage Follow Session Tempo and select Double or Half speed to automatically time-stretch samples at different playback speeds relative to session tempo
  • 04Layer the Chorus effect with higher Width settings to produce pronounced changes in timbre over time, creating fuller-bodied chorusing effects
