In a era where music is affordable to make and produce something is often missing : "life"; Life from errors, life from musician performance, life from unpredictability and movement.
I don't care much a bout analog accuracy but I do care about sound coloration and movements, and tal sampler is amazing to that regard. It might be the only sampler I found that gives life to samples.
It is named "sampler", but think of it as a "sample-based synthesizer", because that's what it is.
Let me give you an idea :
- get a sample multi with 16 samples, called something like "moog_bass_D#2.wav" and set zone like a normal sampler.
- then process/process/process : simple LFO, adsr, filters, sample loop
- then listen : it will likely sound to your ear like a completly new, lively synth : it crunches, it moves, it flows, it sounds dark, it sounds weird, it sounds like you are playing on some crazy hardware machine from a sci-fy movie !
Filters, sampling rate, bit depths, everything is carefully though in this sampler to provide that crunchy feel !
Sounds quickly wins tridimensionnal feel, weird color, both simple and brillant.
Fun to use and very creative
Cons ? not much if you are not mistaking this sampler for what it is not.
It's not made to have kontakt-like realistic presets. it's made to sample stuffs yourself and sound organic.
It doesn't fit every genre. It will fit lofi, old-school electronic music, video games music, chiptune, industrial music.
