InstantSampler: Instant Sample Magic in Your Hands
Explore new creative sound horizons with InstantSampler by Muxer – a unique plugin that lets you instantly capture and play back audio fragments in real time, controlling the process via MIDI.
InstantSampler works on a simple yet powerful principle: the first press of a specific MIDI key instantly records the audio signal coming into its input. Each subsequent press of the same key plays back the recorded fragment. This makes it similar to an “audio copy-paste” or “loop-on-the-fly,” ideal for spontaneous ideas and live performances.
While the name may suggest an instrument, technically, InstantSampler is an effect that requires both audio and MIDI input. This hybrid nature allows it to be used extremely flexibly in various scenarios.
Key Features of InstantSampler:
- Instant sampling from the audio input via MIDI trigger.
- Playback of recorded fragments upon repeated presses of MIDI keys.
- Velocity sensitivity.
- Attack and release control.
- Record threshold (floor) function.
- Playback speed control.
- Reverse playback.
- “Looped scrolling” mode.
- Loop size/fade settings.
- Memory clear function.
Use InstantSampler to create dynamic loops, generate glitch effects, add spontaneous stabs, or any other experiments where instant control over audio fragments is needed. Its speed and intuitiveness turn the sampling process into an exciting game.
This plugin will become an indispensable tool for musicians and producers who value speed, flexibility, and the ability to instantly transform audio into building blocks for their compositions or performances.
