BeatSkillz has released a new audio plugin that is designed to faithfully recreate the signature pre-amp and filter characteristics of the iconic SP-12 sampler by E-mu. The S12X lets you add that vintage 12-bit drum sampling flavor to your productions.

Taking inspiration from the unique charm of the classic era, S12X introduces “Distrukt,” a feature designed to replicate the mesmerising aliasing effects produced when pitching samples up and down on the revered machine. This addition adds a touch of nostalgia, infusing your music with the character and grit reminiscent of the golden age of 12-bit drum sampling.

With S12X, you get the best of both worlds – the timeless allure of a famous vintage 12-bit drum sampler sound and the precision of cutting-edge neural network technology. If you’re getting into Lo-Fi / Synthwave / 90s Techno and other retro genres, you need this!

Available in VST3, AU and AAX plugin formats for Windows and Mac, S12X is on sale at Plugin Boutique for the intro price of $25 USD until January 1st, 2024 (regular $49 USD).
