Kitbash
Drum sampler with a 128-cell grid, six playback engines and eight stereo outputs
Kitbash lays a kit out on a grid of up to 128 cells, each with velocity layers, round robin and its own effects chain. Six engines play the samples, among them four vintage sampler emulations, granular time-stretch and tempo-locked slices. It imports programs from other samplers, and its factory library has 450 samples from 199 instruments in 13 kits.

What it does
A grid from 2x8 to 8x16
Select several cells at once, fill them by drag and drop, swap them and colour them from a 16-colour palette.
Six playback engines
Choose a looping sampler, one of four vintage sampler emulations, streaming from disk, granular or waveform-aligned time-stretch, or tempo-locked slices.
Effects on every cell
Each cell has a reorderable chain with saturation, lo-fi, a filter/EQ with seven modes, three compressor types and a transient shaper. Four buses and the master add reverb, delay and inserts.
Flams, rolls and voice groups
Ten articulations include flam, drag, ruff, roll and buzz, plus MIDI echo and humanize. 128 voice groups handle voice limits and kill modes.
Edit samples inside Kitbash
Kitbash has a wave editor, a loop editor with four loop regions per layer and a velocity-layer mapping editor, all with undo.
Imports kits and sliced loops
It maps SFZ, SoundFont 2, EXS24, DLS, GigaStudio, Akai S5000/S6000/Z4/Z8 and MPC programs to cells and layers. REX2, REX and RCY loops load with their slices.
Good to know
- All factory samples are synthesized, and Kitbash builds the library the first time it starts. For recorded drums, load your own samples or import a kit.
