What is Samplab?
Samplab is an AI-powered audio editor for musicians and producers. It lets users edit individual notes inside audio files — the same way they would edit MIDI. This removes the need to re-record or manually chop samples to fix pitch, timing, or harmony issues.
Features & Benefits
- Note editing – Detect and modify individual notes inside any audio file, including polyphonic content, without affecting surrounding material.
- Chord detection and editing – Identify chords in an audio file and edit them in key. Export detected chords as MIDI files.
- Audio-to-MIDI conversion – Convert audio content to MIDI data for use in any DAW or software instrument.
- Stem splitter – Split any audio file into individual stems and edit notes freely within each separated track.
- Audio warping – Match the tempo and key of multiple samples so they work together without manual adjustment.
- Resynthesizer – Recreate audio using an integrated synthesizer engine for full sound control. Morph between two samples to generate new sounds with seamless transitions.
- DAW integration – Run Samplab as a VST3 or AU plugin inside any compatible DAW, or as a standalone desktop app.
Real-World Applications
Producers working with sampled material can use Samplab to fix off-key notes in a loop without re-recording. A chord progression lifted from a vinyl sample may have the wrong root note for a new track. Samplab lets the producer shift individual notes while keeping the rest of the sample intact — a task that previously required re-synthesis or manual MIDI reconstruction.
Beatmakers can take two loops recorded at different tempos and keys and align them automatically. Audio warping and key-matching tools let producers blend drum breaks, bass lines, and melodic samples that would otherwise clash. This makes it faster to build multi-sample arrangements from mismatched source material.
The audio-to-MIDI feature may benefit composers who want to extract melodic or harmonic data from a recorded performance. A guitar riff or sung melody can become a MIDI sequence ready for editing in a piano roll. From there, producers can trigger any virtual instrument with the extracted data.
The Resynthesizer adds a sound design layer on top of the core audio editor workflow. Musicians can load a sample, have the engine recreate it through synthesis, and then morph it with a second sample. This opens up textural sound design possibilities for producers who want to move beyond static loops and into dynamic, evolving tones.
