Key Features of Sam!Solo
Sam!Solo combines a simple interface with a set of features that allow you to flexibly work with the loaded sample. Here’s what it offers:
- Playback via MIDI notes: Easily assign your sample to a specific MIDI note for convenient triggering from a keyboard or MIDI controller. This makes Sam!Solo a great tool for creating your own drum racks or triggering sound effects.
- Flexible playback modes: In addition to standard playback (Forward), you can choose reverse playback (Reverse) to create unique textures or effects, as well as looping (Loop) so that the sample repeats continuously, which is useful for pads or atmospheric sounds.
- Precise control over the sample: Control the start and end points of the sample playback. This allows you to cut out the desired fragment or create interesting effects by playing only a part of the sound. Precise adjustment is available for the perfect result.
- ADSR envelope: Shape the dynamics of your sample using a classic ADSR envelope (Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release). Adjust how quickly the sound appears, how long it lasts, and how it fades. This gives you full control over the temporal evolution of the volume.
- Universal 12 dB Filter: Give your sample the desired tonal coloration with a multi-mode filter. Available modes are Low Pass, High Pass, Band Pass, Notch, Low Shelf, High Shelf, and standard EQ. This tool allows you to easily fit the sample into the mix, remove unwanted frequencies, or create interesting filter effects.
- Patch memory: Save up to 28 different plugin settings in internal slots (patches). This allows you to quickly switch between different processing options for the same sample or save settings for different sounds, which significantly speeds up the workflow.
Sam!Solo is designed by Sonic Assault with an emphasis on speed and intuitiveness. It does not overload the system and does not require deep knowledge of sampling. Just upload a WAV, adjust a few parameters, and your unique sound is ready! It is the perfect tool for adding originality to your tracks, experimenting with sound, or simply for effectively using single samples in your musical creativity. Try Sam!Solo and see how simple and functional working with samples can be.
