Samplab releases Samplab 2, an updated edition of the innovative AI-powered sample manipulation tool available as standalone software and a VST3/AU plugin.
As a music producer, it’s always exciting to see innovative new tools get released that push the boundaries of what we thought was possible.
Samplab 2, the self-titled sample manipulation utility from Samplab, is a VST3/AU plugin that does just that. It uses advanced features and AI integration to challenge what we previously thought a sampler could be.
Samplab 2 is a VST plugin instrument designed to make working with samples easy and fun. The software is available as both a free and paid ($9.99/month) version. The free version clocks in with a 10-second max sample length, a mono output, and real-time warping functionality.
Upgrade to the paid version, and you will get an unlimited sample length, stereo output, advanced note control, and both real-time and advanced warping.
Samplab 2 Free is a fully capable sample mangler. You can load samples (up to 10 seconds in length) and change their pitch, length, and other parameters on the piano roll. It opens up countless possibilities for creative sample mangling and works particularly well on vocals and drums.
Although the free version is quite powerful as is, you can choose to opt-in for the full edition that lets you fine-tune the pitch and pan position of notes within a polyphonic sample—individually—from directly inside the plugin.
In fact, Samplab 2 not only handles polyphonic melodic instrument parts easily but can work with polyphonic drums and percussion tracks as well. It makes transcribing and separating drum parts a breeze.
Furthermore, it features an advanced warping algorithm that can intelligently and quickly match multiple samples to the same key and tempo. This makes it quick and easy to work with samples from entirely different sources.
As far as compatibility goes, Samplab 2 supports most DAWs on the market. This includes Ableton Live, Studio One, FL Studio, Bitwig, and more.
It’s compatible with both Windows and macOS. However, it’s recommended to keep at least four gigabytes of memory regardless of your OS.
Overall, Samplab 2 is an innovative sampler instrument that pushes the boundaries of what it means to work with samples in a musical context. It includes advanced functionality that should improve the experience of any music professional, yet is easy to understand and thus perfect for beginners.
