MAP Audio releases PAM - "Pattern-based Audio Mapping" Sampler (VST3, AU & CLAP)

MAP Audio has announced the availability of PAM, a highly-functional, modular sampler with eight sound slots, flexible pattern building, and modulation throughout the entire system.

Each cell houses one sampler, effects, and a dedicated sequencer commanding Note, Pitch, Stretch and Slice controls. Any parameter can have its own sequencer as a modulator, or can be controlled by one of six LFOs, or the audio output of a different cell.

Features

• 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.

Pricing & Availability

PAM is available now for Mac and PC (VST3, AU & CLAP) for $150 (perpetual) or $12.50/mo (12 months rent to own). Prices are subject to taxes where applicable. A 7-day free trial is available.
