SampleX V3
The magic box every producer asks about.
Six classic vintage samplers captured as deep IR models, paired with a resonant ladder filter, bit-crusher, sample-rate decimator, pitch shifter, saturation drive, and stereo widener — all in one plugin. The flagship that put BeatSkillz on the map, still a secret weapon on hit records.

A flagship with
an unfair reputation.
SampleX V3 is the plugin producers reach for when they want a track to sound "right." Drop it on drums and the kick sits. Slap it on a vocal and it lives. Put it on the master bus and — wait, you're not supposed to? Producers have been doing it for years. It just works.
Drums & loops
Run a break through the MPC IR and it instantly has that dusty weight. Crush a modern kit into lo-fi territory with the bit and sample-rate controls. Every drum comes out bigger.
Vocals & melodic
Add vintage sampler glue to vocals, synths, and keys. The filter resonance and drive give you the character of hardware without the routing headache.
Master bus magic
Unconventional? Maybe. Producers put SampleX on the full mix for instant cohesion, warmth, and that indefinable finished feeling. Try it. That's how magic happens.
Six IR models,
one flagship.
Each mode is a deep IR capture of a classic vintage sampler — the exact character, grit, and harmonic response of the hardware that shaped hip-hop, house, jungle, and every sample-based record you love. Switch between them in real time and hear the DNA of each era.
Everything a sampler does,in one interface.
The six IR models are the starting point. Underneath is a full sound-shaping toolkit — ladder-style HP and LP filters with musical resonance, a bit crusher that steps cleanly from 24-bit to 4-bit, a sample-rate decimator for aliased lo-fi edge, a pitch shift that captures vintage tune-down artefacts, analog saturation drive, and a stereo width stage.
Stack them, automate them, bypass them. The real magic is what happens when you combine two unrelated controls and stumble onto a sound you've never heard before.
Every tool, one screen.
No menus. No sub-pages. Every parameter is a fader or a knob on the front panel, designed to be grabbed and moved until something sounds right.
24 to 4 bits.
A clean step from full-resolution audio to 4-bit lo-fi grit. Double-click to enter an exact value — perfect for locking in that classic 12-bit sampler feel.
Decimate, alias, grit.
A sample-rate reducer that induces musical aliasing. Subtle character at the top end, or full broken-sampler artefacts when you push it. The secret ingredient in every lo-fi record.
Pitch aliasing.
Emulates the classic "tune down then back up" pitching trick of vintage samplers — introduces harmonic artefacts and gives you that warped, dusted-off-a-floppy character.
Ladder resonance.
True ladder-style high-pass and low-pass filters with musical resonance. Sweep them for filter movement, dial in resonance for that analog peak — the same filters that shaped hardware synths.
Analog saturation.
A warm analog-style saturation drive — the sound of pushing audio into the red. Adds weight, harmonic content, and that unmistakable analog edge to any source you run through it.
Stereo field shaping.
A fixed stereo expander that takes a source from full mono to wide M/S. Tighten drums, open up pads, widen the master — no phase issues, no mid crowding.
The Sampler Emulation Bundle
Get SampleX V3 plus our other two sampler emulation flagships — S12X and AK9X — as a single bundle. Three legendary sampler characters, deep IR modelling, and every control you need to sculpt them, all for less than buying them separately.
The plugin everyone
keeps coming back to.
SampleX has come a long way since three years ago. I use it on a regular basis.
When you put it on the drum loop, I was sold.
Tell me where else you could buy this level of nostalgia at this price.
I just got V3 and love it — it sounds great, and you can do so much with it.
Frequently asked questions
Each IR model captures the sonic signature of a classic hardware sampler — the harmonic content, conversion character, and preamp colour of six legendary machines that shaped sampled music from the 80s to today. Switch between them in real time to hear the DNA of each era.
Producers have been doing exactly that for years. Dial in a subtle amount with the Mix control, pick an IR model, and let it glue the whole mix with that cohesive vintage warmth. It's one of the most common "secret weapon" uses of the plugin.
SampleX V3 is the flagship — six IR models, full synthesis-style controls, master-bus capable. S12X and AK9X are single-character emulations that go deeper on two specific classic samplers. The Sampler Emulation Bundle above gets you all three at a discount.

Infinite magic.
The flagship that made BeatSkillz. The "secret weapon" producers never stop talking about. The one that makes people ask, "What did you put in there, man?"
