Chromatic Sampler

Drop any one-shot. It finds the root note and plays it in tune on every key, then shapes it like a synth.

What Chromatic Sampler does, shown in the plugin.

Root detection

It finds the note for you

The root is read the moment the sample lands, shown with its cents offset and corrected on playback.

  • Auto trim cuts silence at both ends
  • Set the range by dragging the markers
  • Override the root by hand when you want to
Envelope and voice

Shape every note

Start from an 808, pluck, pad or stab envelope, or drag the points yourself.

  • Poly or mono voice
  • Glide that slides from the last pitch
  • Always or legato slide
Effects

A rack you can reorder

Saturation, delay, reverb and filter sit in a chain. Drag a slot to change the order.

  • Delay synced to your tempo: straight, dotted, triplet
  • Ping-pong and feedback control
  • Low and high pass at 6, 12 and 24 dB per octave
Keyboard

One sample, a whole melody

Every key stays in tune with the original, so a vocal chop or a pluck becomes playable.

  • Play from your computer keys, Z and X move the octave
  • Click the waveform to hear the root

Chromatic Sampler questions

How does root detection work?

Chromatic Sampler analyses the pitch of the sample when you drop it and shows the note and its offset in cents. Playback is corrected so the root sits exactly on the key.

Can I set the root note myself?

Yes. Pick any note and octave, or fine-tune in cents, and the detection steps aside.

Will it slow down my session?

It plays one sample through a short effect chain, so it stays light even with several instances.

Can I try it first?

Yes. Without a key it runs in demo mode with a short burst of noise every 10 seconds. You can also play it in your browser on this page.
