Hexamorph / Drum sampler
Hexamorph works as a 16-track drum sampler in your DAW: one-shots or sliced breaks, written in a step sequencer where every step can play its own sample, pitch and effect.
Drop a kick on track 1, a snare on track 2, hats on 3 and so on. Every track has its own step sequence of up to 128 steps, its own length and speed, its own filter, envelope, three LFOs and four insert effects.
A parameter lock can change the sample itself. Lock slot 4 on step 5 and that one step plays a different hat; lock pitch and decay on the next and it becomes a ghost note. One track can play a whole set of variations without a second lane.
How parameter locks work
Load a drum break and slice it to the grid or by transients, up to 64 slices. Play the slices in a new order from the sequencer, lock a slice per step, or resample your own beat into a recorder and chop that.
The demo song is drums, bass and chords played entirely inside Hexamorph. Listen on the main page.
Yes. Load one-shots on up to 16 tracks, one sound per track, and write the beat in the step sequencer. Each step can play a different sample, pitch or filter setting through a parameter lock, so one track can carry a whole set of hats or percussion hits.
It is a VST3 instrument for macOS, Windows and Linux (and AU on macOS), so it runs in any DAW that hosts those formats, such as Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Bitwig Studio, Reaper or FL Studio. It follows the DAW's tempo and transport.
Yes. Besides the main and cue outputs there is a stereo output for each of the 16 tracks, so kick, snare and hats can each get their own channel in the DAW.
Yes. Slice the break to the grid or by transients, up to 64 slices, then play the slices from the sequencer or lock a different slice on each step.
