Stack multiple Samplers to create layers and splits, add MIDI and audio effects, and save your creation as a Rack for future use. Modulate Sampler with clip envelopes and Arrangement automation, or use your MIDI controller for real-time hands-on tweaking. Sampler integrates perfectly with Live, drawing much of its power from Live's features. Sampler is an extremely powerful instrument, but it's still easy to get results thanks to its familiar, intuitive user interface. In this Ableton Sampling Tutorial video we’ll have a look at the Slice Mode in the Simpler device.Watch more learn Live videos. The ability to modulate not only post-processing but also the sample playback characteristics creates possibilities similar to wavetable and granular synthesis. Three LFOs, five multimode envelopes and various MIDI inputs serve as modulation sources. A dedicated modulation oscillator allows samples to be frequency- or amplitude-modulated, allowing for selective harmonic or disharmonic enrichment of the original timbres. Sampler can apply polyphonic modulation to sample start, loop position and loop length parameters. Sampler also features a polyphonic saturation stage for adding just the right amount of warmth to your sound. Filter types include morphing filters, so you can seamlessly morph from low-pass to band-pass to high-pass to notch and back with a single control. Each voice is processed with a multimode filter. 48kHz or higher is needed in certain applications and can help to reduce aliasing. You can change this if you head to the Audio preferences and change the In/Out Sample Rate. Sampler's unique processing and modulation capabilities allow you to explore every aspect of your samples. By default, Ableton’s Sample Rate is 44.1kHz, which is the standard for recorded music. Sampler employs SmartPriming to prevent RAM shortage and annoying loading times. Sampler imports multisamples and sound design parameters (for features that Sampler and the source format have in common) from libraries in formats including: GigaStudio, EXS, SoundFont and (non-encrypted) Kontakt. Each zone provides numerous creative playback and looping options. You can manage an unlimited number of sample zones, including key and velocity ranges as well as crossfades, all using the intuitive graphical editor. Import third-party libraries or create and edit your own multisamples.
