Xoxos has announced the release of Element, a free sampler/sample player instrument for Windows.

Xoxos Element (dark skin)

Xoxos Element sample player with dark skin (click image for light skin).

not really a sampler oc, it’s a wav player, but people often call them samplers..

loads one sample, does some loop modulation stuff, prolly more or less the same as samplers like this (eg. helios). loads 8 and 16 bit mono or stereo wavs.. and not in a fancy way, though it loads all the samples i’ve got. this was produced because i released some open source modules for synthedit to help people develop wav players.. i figured i ought to wrap one as a vst.

Element features

  • Wrap mode looping (‘normal looping’) with crossfade.
  • Bounce mode looping (forward-reverse).
  • Two crossfade modes: fixed time (up to 1s) or loop relative (up to entire length of loop).
  • 4 interpolation modes: floor (‘none’), linear, cubic and hermite.
  • Emulated downsampling.
  • Loop position can modulate filter cutoff.
  • Filter modes (low, band, high, cut, peak in moog, svf or biquad).
  • Curveable envelopes.
  • Modulating start/end (loop or otherwise) reverses playback if end is lower than start.
  • 8 voices poly.

The plug-in is available to download at no cost (Windows VST).
