S3KTOR // FLAGSHIP SAMPLE SLICER & WAV SAMPLER
S3KTOR is a precision-engineered sample slicing instrument built for modern trap, Atlanta hip-hop, Memphis underground, boom bap, and experimental electronic production. Transform any WAV sample into a playable instrument with up to 32 slices, responsive MPC-style trigger pads, independent slice controls, and an integrated suite of vintage-inspired effects.
Designed for producers who want to flip samples, chop melodies, rearrange drum breaks, and create entirely new sounds from existing audio, S3KTOR combines hands-on sampling workflows with futuristic 3D visualization and powerful real-time DSP processing.
From gritty vintage drum chops and chopped soul samples to reversed melodies, rhythmic stutters, and dark atmospheric textures, S3KTOR turns any sample into a creative starting point.
KEY FEATURES
Precision Sample Slicing: Divide WAV files into 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, or 32 slices, with equal-division grids, automatic transient detection, adjustable sensitivity, and manual waveform editing.
16/32-Pad Trigger Matrix: Play individual chops using responsive MPC-inspired pads with slice indexes, MIDI note assignments, color-coded groups, and animated trigger feedback.
Real-Time Waveform Editor: Visualize audio with draggable slice boundaries, custom chop points, and live playback indicators.
One-Shot & Gated Playback: Let samples play through their full slice or stop playback when a MIDI note is released.
Mono & Poly Modes: Choose classic monophonic choke behavior or layer up to 16 simultaneous stereo voices for overlapping samples and creative textures.
Independent Slice Controls: Adjust pitch, gain, pan, playback speed, reverse, mute, and solo for every individual slice.
MIDI Keyboard Mapping: Trigger slices from your MIDI keyboard with adjustable root-note assignment and real-time key visualization.
Micro De-Click Processing: Smooth trigger transitions with short fade envelopes designed to reduce unwanted pops and clicks.
ANALOG FILTER // SHAPE YOUR SOUND
Sculpt every sample with an integrated multi-mode analog-inspired filter.
Four Filter Types: Lowpass, Highpass, Bandpass, and Notch.
Selectable Filter Slopes: Switch between 12 dB/octave and 24 dB/octave responses.
Resonance & Drive: Add anything from subtle tonal shaping to aggressive resonant character and saturated filter tones.
Interactive Spectrum Display: Adjust cutoff frequency and resonance directly through a visual frequency-response interface.
Five LFO Waveforms: Sine, Triangle, Sawtooth, Square, and Random Sample & Hold.
Tempo-Synchronized Modulation: Run the LFO freely or synchronize it to your DAW's tempo.
Instant Tone Presets: Warm LP, Acid Squelch, Air HP, Dub BP, and Notch.
3D STUDIO REVERB // ADD DEPTH & ATMOSPHERE
Give dry samples dimension with four algorithmic reverb environments.
Room: Tight, intimate reflections for drums and short samples.
Plate: Dense, bright reverb for snares, melodic chops, and synth textures.
Hall: Expansive ambience for sustained samples and atmospheric layers.
Space: Long, cinematic reverb tails for dark melodies, reversed samples, and immersive sound design.
Control mix, decay, high-frequency damping, pre-delay, and stereo width. An interactive 3D acoustic visualization displays simulated reflection paths and spatial movement.
STEREO PING-PONG TAPE DELAY // RHYTHMIC MOVEMENT
Transform static samples into evolving rhythmic patterns with tempo-synchronized stereo delay.
Dual Routing Modes: Stereo Ping-Pong and Dual Stereo.
17 Musical Timing Divisions: Straight, dotted, and triplet rhythms ranging from rapid 1/64 repeats to full-bar echoes.
Free-Time Operation: Continuously adjustable delay times from 10 ms to 2,500 ms.
Tape Tone Control: Adjustable high-frequency damping for darker, warmer, vintage-inspired echoes.
Stereo Echo Visualization: A futuristic 3D display illustrates alternating delay taps and stereo movement.
VINTAGE 10-BIT SAMPLER GRIT // RAW HIP-HOP CHARACTER
Add the crunch and character of classic sampling hardware to modern digital audio.
10-Bit Quantization: Reduced-resolution processing for gritty, vintage-inspired sample textures.
Warm Preamp Saturation: Add harmonic density and drive to samples and drum chops.
Analog-Inspired Reconstruction Filtering: Smooth harsh high frequencies while preserving the punch and character of the original sound.
Ideal for dusty drum breaks, chopped soul, gritty Memphis textures, distorted melodic loops, and hard-hitting trap percussion.
MASTER OUTPUT // CONTROLLED DYNAMICS
An integrated lookahead limiter helps control peaks created by stacked voices, resonant filtering, and layered samples.
128-Sample Lookahead: Anticipates peaks for controlled output.
-0.2 dBFS Ceiling: Provides a defined maximum output ceiling.
Fast Attack & Controlled Release: Designed to manage transient spikes while maintaining the character of your samples.
FUTURISTIC INTERFACE // PRECISION SAMPLING
S3KTOR combines a focused sampling workflow with a high-tech visual environment.
GPU-accelerated vector interface designed for responsive 60 FPS visualization.
Interactive waveform slicing with precision boundary controls.
3D acoustic chamber and tape-delay visualizations.
Illuminated 16/32-pad trigger matrix.
Integrated filter spectrum and real-time playback feedback.
Full project-state recall for restoring saved plugin settings within compatible DAW sessions.
