MonkeyC has recently launched a sampler by veteran dance music producer and software engineer Dennis de Laat that aims to shake up your existing sound library.

Rando lets you point to any and all of your sample folders, hit the button in the center, and watch a random selection of sounds populate your keyboard or piano roll.

Rando isn’t meant to be an expensive, shiny mega-sampler – it’s a lightweight creative tool that does things in a different way, helping real producers to get real results and have fun while they’re doing it.

You can narrow down sample selection by type and with text search, and there’s a deep-but-simple sequencer plus a creative FX section to get more out of your selections.

Rando features

  • Randomizing sampler helps discover new possibilities from your existing collection of samples.
  • Narrow your sample search by text, type and category.
  • Tonal samples are automatically tuned, rhythmic samples automatically timestretched to tempo.
  • Sampler playback functions include start/end times, direction, trigger/gate/loop, ADSR, tuning and more.
  • Life control brings analog-style drift to samples.
  • Chromatic mode lets you play samples across the keyboard.
  • Add 6 global effects: Filter, Chorus, Distortion, Crush, Delay and Reverb.
  • Full sequencer section with randomizing function to generate patterns.

Rando for Windows and Mac (VST3, AU and AAX) is on sale for the intro price of $49 USD until April 2nd, 2024 (regular $69 USD).
