I experienced the exact same thing:-/ Im on a workstation Thinkpad, 48GB Ram, Intelcore i7 2.80 ghz and with PAM added to a session but not running preset or anything like that the CPU usage is / would be off the charts. I still havent been working properly with PAM but I uninstalled the `full`version with all samples and presets. I then did a clean install using the program-only installer installer and it seems to have brought PAMs cpu usage wayyyyyyyyyyyyy downherzihelmut wrote: Sat Jul 04, 2026 11:20 am oooh nice. i try to like this really much - such nice ideas and flexibility - BUT - this Plugin eats up soo much asio, not normal, even a stacked crusherX InaGRM Channel goes far below this - also in empty init mode its processing something, why?
Also i had few loud bursts while switching variation that were always reproducable.
For 50$ it would be instant buy, but lacking stability is not worth 150$, even if everything else is really great and outstanding![]()

NEW: PAM – 8-cell Sampler with very deep feature set
2026-04-16T20:48:53+00:00
Hi, we want to introduce you all to PAM – "Pattern-based Audio Mapping"
This sampler plugin (VST3/AU/CLAP/Standalone) goes hard on modulation and sequencing, with dedicated modulators available to each parameter, the ability to modulate from any cell's envelope. There's options for a slicer, a looper, and even a tracker… some of you will love it – some people might not get it ;)
It's available from https://map.audio , it's $150 perpetual but also available RTO. There's a seven-day trial. Any questions? We're here in the thread!

Feature List
Cell Grid: Eight independent cells with samplers, effects, and modulation. Route modulation between cells and build complex signal flows.
Cell Views: Four views per cell: Sampler controls, Sample Browser, Pattern Editor, and Effects chain. Switch instantly between them.
CtrlAll: Global macro controls and A/B crossfader. Link parameters across all cells with per-cell exclusions.
Slicer: Slice samples into segments with automatic transient detection. Sequence slices with the dedicated slice patterns.
Pattern: Step sequencer with note, pitch, slice, and stretch lanes — plus a piano roll for poly mode. Draw and resize notes across the full pitch range with scale filter and velocity lane.
Tracker: Tracker-style pattern view across all cells. Program notes, velocity, probability, and retrigger in a vertical timeline.
Mixer: Mix all eight cells with volume, pan, mute, and solo. Per-cell effects chain with EQ, Filter, Delay, Compressor, and more.
Looper: Record up to eight tracks with overdub, external input, and drag-and-drop. Save eight variations with bar-synced switching.
Vary: Per-parameter randomization with adjustable range and probability. Add controlled variation to any knob.
LFO Modulation: Six global LFOs with multiple shapes and tempo sync. Map to any parameter with depth and bipolar control.
Envelope Follower: Per-parameter envelope followers with adjustable attack and release. Sidechain from any cell output.
Randomisation: Generate random signals and setups for specific parts of PAM – randomize all LFOs at once, all envelope followers, all sequencers, and others.
