sampler
The S4 is a sculpting sampler for capturing and transforming sound. It combines tape-inspired workflows with modern tools in an intuitive, immediate instrument. Designed for sampling and real-time per formance, it lets you capture and shape sound in parallel.
Bring parameters to life
Use the modulation system to shape parameters with evolving LFOs, random modulation, and responsive envelopes.
Take your ideas to the stage
Bring the S4 into your live per formance. Trigger scenes and create macros to control multiple parameters with a single knob.
Focus on the now
A focused, intuitive interface keeps everything within reach, so you can stay with your ideas.
Move through stereo space
The S4 offers full stereo processing throughout. Explore movement and space through phase-based effects.
The Devices
The S4 features four parallel stereo tracks, each with a chain of five audio devices designed for different roles. Together, they form a playful system for shaping samples and live audio.
Material
Start anywhere. Play samples, record in the moment, overdub ideas, or bring in external audio as you go.
Granular
Start anywhere. Play samples, record in the moment, overdub ideas, or bring in external audio as you go.
Filter
Shape, animate, and tune your sound to move from subtle motion to more pronounced, resonant character.
Color
Add character where it matters. Introduce warmth, grit, or more unpredictable tones, whether refining a sound or pushing it further.
Space
Place your sound in motion. Create depth and atmosphere with reverb and delay, or hold moments in place with freeze for more control in performance.
Sound examples
All sound examples are created with the Factory sample bank shipping with the S4.
