Pricing and Availablity

This is pretty solid. Grabbed it last week. I use bitwig and the sampler has been my granulizer for some time now. The drone option is a blessing since there is no notes to trigger/retrigger, just pop something in, let it drone and tweak an external control and record the output. I’m sure it can be done elsewhere but im all about simplicity when it comes to plugins. Tons of knobs, mod matrix, and a whole bunch of popup menus is never pleasing.
