Description
Ideal for beats, looping, instrument creation, sound design, and more, CR8 makes sampling easy and fun—just drag in a sample, and start playing. Or, take your creativity to the max: stretch, loop, sync, layer, stack, freeze, reverse, modulate, and use analog synth modules to process your sounds.
Take advantage of the vast collection of over 2500 free samples and over 800 presets—CR8 pairs with the AI-powered COSMOS Sample Finder, so you can find any sound you want in seconds.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Includes 2500 Royalty-Free Samples + the COSMOS Sample Finder
Instantly load samples into CR8, using the integrated COSMOS Sample Finder. COSMOS comes with over 2500 royalty-free samples. It also lets you instantly load any other sample saved on your computer, using Musical AI detection to help you find the right samples fast.
