One Small Clue

Hello! Will this wonderful sampler ever be available on Mac???? I'm really looking forward to it, but it's still not here...

Poise is now free with both 32 and 64-bit support. Including samples too. Different skins are also available. This a great drum sampler with lots of adjustments available and no problems. Maybe it's a forgotten gem? Anyone interested in drum vsti should not miss out on this. I am now using it more often than every just because it has got all you need for a drum sampler. And it is FREE now.

Great work! The sound is SUPERB! Crystal bright, clean and solid.

The interface is informative and easy to deal with.

The one thing that I'm missing atm. is the ability to change sample start/loop points 'on the fly' via controllers and/or via ADSR/LFO's.

An intermediate-functionality sampler with a solid core sound (good pitching, envelope curvature, and filters). Supports drag-and-drop from your host's browser which is a critical function for samplers. It would be nice to have more looping options and more complex envelopes but for a free sampler it's unbeatable for most people's needs.

This a solid plug-in. I've had it for ages but never really got around to giving it a close look until just recently.I must say, for simplicity, ease of use, and happy accidents (thanks to the randomization feature) this is a real winner. (Especially considering the price point)

You can tell this was specifically designed for creative discovery as opposed to utility...which makes this one I'm going to be using quite a bit, (despite being a Kontakt owner) My only concern is that preview mode seems to be glitched causing some samples to go wildly out of tune from time to time...but it doesn't seem to affect the samples once they're loaded so I guess it's all good. Love this one long time!

One of the best drum/percussion sample player, straighforward but with all the option you need, really easy and fun to use, responsive developer.

One Small Clue's Poise is my favorite drum sampler.

It's very simple while having flexible usability.

Audition

I think one of most important function of drum sampler is sample audition.

At least it's very very important for me.

I think anyone can make good sound with bad sample.

Of course Poise have sample preview function and its access speed is very fast.

You don't need wait for the sampler to make index of all your hard drive or anoying fragile XML database.

And with single layer mode, you can stock 8 samples on one pad, so you can select witch one to use later.

This trick sacrifice multi layer function, but you can still layer two pads with Pad Link..

It's very flexible.

Sound Quality

Poise have two mode, Standard (Linear Interpolation) and High Quality (Sinc Interpolation).

I always use High Quality mode and it's very clear so I don't feel any unwanted coloring sound.

Embed Samples In Project File

This function! This function is very usable. Why so many Plugin haven't this function?

Perhaps not all host handle it, but with FL Studio it works fine.

Simplicity

Only 16 pads and not having chop function nor loop adjusting.

But It's not problem.

It's made for drum samples like MPC and is perfect for its aim.

In addition, you can link your Poise to multiple sample editors.

If you want more pads, insert more Poise.

Price and Protection

I got it with $49. It's cheap as an ogre.

Always no brainer.

And they don't use dongle nor C/R.

You don't need to afraid of one small developper having closed their site nor breaking a dongle.

And, registerd user can receive update program and 64bit beta.

I'ts perfect!
