InstantSampler is a freeware simple sampler for Mac and Windows that records audio from the audio input when a MIDI note is played for the first time.

Any consecutive time you play the same note, it plays back the recorded audio with the possibility to vary or trigger:

• Velocity.
• Attack and release.
• The level of the input audio which is passed unaffected while no samples are played.
• Playback speed using the pitchbend control.
• Normal or reversed playback.
• Clearing of the sample memory.

This plugin is especially handy if you want to do some ‘remixing’ (like stuttering or scratch effects) on your mix without having to make a bounce-down of that mix first. You have explicit control over these effects, compared to other glitching “mess things up” plugins that often do things randomly.
