What it is

Astra Sampler FX is a sampler instrument with built-in effects from Astra Creative Audio. It pairs a loop-stretching WARP engine and a CHOP slicer with a drum sequencer, grain delay and reverb, so you can build beats from samples inside one plugin. It ships with 18 factory packs and 15 producer-made "Planets" to start from.

Beatmakers and producers who build tracks from loops and samples. It suits anyone who wants chopping, tempo-matching and sample-based effects in a single instrument.
