What SampleX V3 is

SampleX V3 is a multi-sampler emulation plugin from BeatSkillz that models six vintage samplers through deep impulse-response captures. It is designed for use inside compatible digital audio workstations rather than as a standalone application. Sound-shaping controls include bit crushing, sample-rate reduction, pitch shifting, ladder-style high-pass and low-pass filters, saturation drive and stereo widening. The maker describes applications for drums and loops, vocals and melodic parts, and the master bus. SampleX V3 supports major DAWs using VST3, AU or AAX, including Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Pro Tools, Cubase, Studio One, Reaper and Bitwig. It runs on macOS and Windows. A license permits installation on up to three machines without extra fees. The one-time price is 69.00 USD, with a fully functional 15-day trial and a 15-day money-back guarantee. Mac and Windows systems require the listed operating-system, host, processor, memory and disk specifications.
