Looking for a good sampler with step sequencer, timestretching, able to handle stereo samples

[worldfever]

Im looking for something similar to the Octatrack/Digitakt, with a step sequencer and the ability to time-stretch stereo samples. The digitakt would be perfect I guess but it only works with mono stuff.
Octatrack would be I guess what I'm looking for but I've tried it and its so fiddly and not immediate enough right now.

Any recommendations?

Technically speaking, Digitakt can sample stereo source material, but it sums the L&R signals to mono, which can then be panned L/R and you can add stereo effects. Not sure if that helps you any with your decisions, but just wanted to clarify that it does work with stereo source material at the input stage.

can you link 2 tracks together to do the same thing, so you could technically maybe use a stereo sample and just seperate them L/R?

I have not tired this, but you’re looking at trig conditions. You should be able to do this with NEI, if both sample are on neighboring tracks.

Or just copy the pattern. Either way. Then pan as needed.

ended up getting a Polyend tracker and I love it, does exactly what i wanted and the tracker workflow is really interesting to jam with samples with all the different step options/randomization options.
still wanna try out the digitak too
