Samplers and Sequencers

A Sampler captures audio — from instruments, vocals, or any sound — and lets you play it back in creative ways. You can trigger samples from pads or keys, edit them, and process them with effects, making samplers powerful for live sets, beat-making, and sound design.

A Sequencer organises musical ideas into patterns and arrangements. It controls when notes, samples, or beats are played, often looping and layering multiple tracks to build complete songs or backing tracks. Sequencers can be hardware units or built into software, and they’re often integrated with drum machines, synths, or samplers.

Together, samplers and sequencers give musicians precise control over rhythm, structure, and sound, forming the backbone of electronic and computer-based music.
