Post Description

Revolutionise your rhythms with Stacker, a uniquely powerful drum layering plugin that uses sampling and synthesis across multiple layers to create personalised drum sounds, from cutting-edge beats and finely honed vintage hits to cinematic-style SFX.

That's just for starters. Stacker can also be used to craft a near limitless range of tailor-made sounds, from lush chords and complex percussion to esoteric ambient FX.

Stacker boasts three independent sample layers, a fully fledged analogue-style drum synthesiser, dynamic FX section, plus innovative tools like Scatter (intelligent time displacement) and Pump (delay and impulse sculpting).

Smart global editing, flexible modulation, freeform curve-enhanced envelopes, precise filters, dedicated stereo tools and macro assignments for instant tweaks combine in the world’s most compelling sound layering tool.

The only limit to Stacker's sonic palette is your imagination.
