Sampler overview

Sampler lets you trigger one-shot sounds and audio clips on top of your mix—live and in sync with the beat. It’s a powerful way to add extra layers, textures, and energy to your set. Whether you’re dropping vocal chops, sound effects, percussion hits, or custom samples, Sampler helps you create unique transitions, build tension, and play samples like an instrument.

Use the 8x2 pad grid to launch one-shot samples such as vocals, drums, or FX. You can add or replace samples by using the sample editor (pencil icon). You can use Sampler with built-in sample packs or your own recordings, and also adjust the volume of each individual sample using the knob on the left side of the pads.

To open Sampler, click Sampler/Looper in the main toolbar and then select the Sampler icon in the toolbar beneath the crossfader.
