What Top Pros Are Saying

Creative Sampling with the Fastest, Easiest Workflow

  • Create Unique Textures with 8 Sample Layers

    Stack and mix up to 8 sample layers to create unique sample textures—or split the samples across your keyboard any way you want. Each layer has independent control over pitch, velocity, and much more.

    Features: Glue Mixes without “Squashing”

  • 5 Stretching Algorithms

    Control pitch and time independently for voice, beats, melodic lines, and polyphonic instruments—or choose the classic, old-school resampling algorithm that stretches pitch and time simultaneously.

    Features:

  • Easy Drag-and-Drop Modulation

    Drag-and-drop LFO and ADSR modulators onto nearly any CR8 control. Trigger, retrigger, loop, or free-run 25 LFO waveforms or 25 stepped sequences—or draw and save your own. Smooth the modulation. Use warp to accelerate or decelerate time within the LFO, yet maintain duration. Further modulate your samples with 4 ADSR envelopes that can change their attack, decay, and release curves.

    Features: Fast and Efficient Operation

  • Mix and Control Your Stacked Samples Easily

    The mixer page shows all your stacked samples, each with independent control over Tune, Width, Pan and Volume levels, for easy editing, control grouping, and linking.

    Features: From Vocals to “The Ringo Drum Sound”

  • Extra Sonic Control—Instantly

    Loading a sample is just the start. Duplicate voices with unison mode, preserve transients, sync to host, lock sync to triggers, tune over a 4-octave range, reverse playback, freeze, and set loop length, speed, and direction. You can also assign your keyboard’s aftertouch, velocity, mod-wheel and pitch-wheel to most of CR8’s controls, making your samples playable in a responsive musical way.

    Features: Multiple Modes Fit Different Material

  • 800 Presets for Instant Gratification

    800 creative presets allow you to find inspiration quickly, for lead lines, pads, bass and sub parts, modulated FX and much more. Browse through the powerful preset library, find an inspiring sound, and tweak it from there.

    Features: Precision Modeled Transformers

  • Includes 2500 Royalty-Free Samples + the COSMOS Sample Finder
