Novation Software Collective Serato Sample LE

A performance-orientated plug-in for Mac and PC in VST and AU formats, Serato Sample LE enables slicing, rearranging and manipulation of samples in real time. As well as downloading it for free in February and March, Sound Collective members can also take advantage of a 30% discount on the upgrade to the full Sample.

Upon import, Sample LE immediately detects the key and tempo of your sample – be it a short loop or a full track – and lets you change each independently using Serato’s legendary Pitch ’n’ Time timestretching/pitchshifting algorithm. But that’s only the beginning, as up to eight ‘cues’ can be defined within the sample, too, manually assigned to the eight pads in the GUI for on-the-fly triggering with your MIDI or QWERTY keyboard. Alternatively, use the Autoset function to have the plug-in ‘intelligently’ insert cue points for you, or switch to Keyboard Mode to map a single cue across all eight pads for monophonic or polyphonic pitched play.
