I am missing my old MPC, and abletons sampler (where I used a specific preset from like version 8 that I had to find on github with the most recent versions) where I could easily slice up samples, it would auto assign them to be oneshots on the pads/midi keyboard, then i could tweak the samples from there. I use reaper now, haven't stumbled across a good alternative yet. I think reaper has some slicer options, i know there are some floating around like HY slicer... does anyone have any good suggestions or want to share what they enjoy using?

 

Serato Sample 2.0

 

In Reaper I use MKSlicer for this.

 

I like Serato Sampler 2 recently as well, but obviously it doesn't have a full compliment of functions I would like in a sampler, but it's a great fun tool that is fun to start with sometimes and then continue on with something else if needed...

 

My favorite way for years has just been in FL Studio's playlist. So many useful tools for chopping and if you get your settings correct you can zoom in and slice atoms....not quite, but close. We be chopin milliseconds bro

 

It's not everyone's cup of tea, but I still love Geist 2 for this. Audiomodern's Loopmix is a different approach but you can achieve some very decent results, quickly, imo.

 

Air Music Transport 2

 

MPC and Serato Sample

 

Speedrum. (period)

Lets put it this way. When I freeze an image of my "time-capsule" audio production/mixing PC from 2018-2024, and re-install the image on a compatible system in the year 2040 to bring up archived projects, this plugin will be included, and ready to rock!

In 2040 I´ll be fiddling the knobs on MPC XXX

 

I use Serato for MPC style chopping (mainly with tonal material) and BItwig's Drum Machine for drums. If you're after a plugin you might want to check out TAL sampler and TAL drum machine.
