SampleX is the original vintage sampler emulation plugin from BeatSkillz. It recreates the signal path of classic hardware samplers, from their converters and preamps to their analogue and digital filters, so you can give clean modern recordings the character of machines like the Akai S900 and S950 or the E-mu SP series. By lowering the bit depth and sample rate and pushing the modelled input stage, you can add anything from gentle old-school warmth to full lo-fi crunch to drums, keys and vocals in your Mac DAW.

Key Features

• Models the converter, preamp and filter stages of vintage samplers
• Bit depth shaping from clean down to gritty low-bit textures
• Sample rate interpolation, adjustable from high rates down to 2 kHz
• Presets matched to well-known hardware samplers to get you started
• AU, VST and AAX plugin formats for Mac DAWs
