Serato Sample allows for quick and easy sampling, slicing, and manipulation of audio samples inside a DAW.

Features:

• Stem Separation: Serato Sample can isolate vocals, drums, melody and bass from a sample in real time, so you can chop only the part you need.

• Tempo Sync: With Serato Sample, BPM detection lets you quickly match the tempo of your samples to the tempo of your track.

• Time-Stretching: Serato Pitch 'n Time technology stretches samples without changing their pitch, allowing you to easily match the tempo of your track.

• Key Detection: Serato Sample detects the key of a sample and can shift it to the key of your project, so different samples fit together.

• Per-Pad Controls: Each pad has its own level, filter, attack, release and reverse settings.

• Keyboard Mode: A sample can be played chromatically across the keys of a MIDI controller like an instrument.

• Beat Grids: Quantization with beat grids helps to line up samples that were not recorded to a fixed tempo.

• DAW Support: Serato Sample works in hosts such as Serato Studio, Ableton Live, FL Studio, Logic Pro, Pro Tools and Maschine; there is no standalone mode.

• Plug-in Format: Serato Sample is available in VST, VST3, AU, and AAX plug-in formats.
