Speedrum: Your Free MPC-Style Drum Sampler

Speedrum is a powerful yet user-friendly MPC-style drum sampler designed for both beginners and experienced producers. Its intuitive interface and streamlined workflow allow for rapid beat creation, while its advanced features provide the flexibility to craft intricate and nuanced sounds. Speedrum boasts 32 pads, each capable of layering up to 8 samples, and includes a built-in loop slicer for effortless beat construction.

Key Features

• Intuitive Design: Two layouts (16-pad A/B or 32-pad) offer customizable views, focusing on either effects or individual pads. The MPC-style interface makes it instantly familiar.
• Powerful Sampling: Import WAV, AIF, FLAC, MP3, and OGG files. Each pad offers extensive control over volume, pan, pitch, and more, with MIDI-learnable parameters for seamless integration with your MIDI controller.
• Advanced Layering & Editing: Edit multiple pads simultaneously, copy and share settings, and drag and drop samples for effortless workflow. Eight layers per pad allow for complex sound design, with individual low/high pass filters and time/pitch stretching for each layer.
• Loop Slicing: Quickly chop loops into individual drum hits using transient or BPM-based slicing modes. Easily rearrange sliced segments to create unique drum patterns.
• Effects Processing: Four main effects (distortion, multi-mode filter, compressor, transition shaper) add polish and character to your sounds. Dedicated send effects channels (delay and reverb) provide further sonic sculpting.
• Extensive Control: Comprehensive controls for mute, solo, volume, pan, pitch, and more, plus volume and pitch envelopes for each pad. Humanization options add a natural feel to your drum grooves.
• VST/VST3/AU Support: Expand your sonic palette by integrating your favorite VST/VST3 and AU plugins.
• High Performance: Native C++ coding ensures low CPU usage for smooth performance, even with numerous samples and effects.
• Resizable GUI: Adjust the interface size from 60% to 200% to fit your screen perfectly.
