SampleRoll has introduced a rhythmic multi-effect plugin for turning static loops, drums, melodies and other audio into evolving rhythmic ideas.
Designed to sit somewhere between a rhythmic sequencer, multi-band processor and creative multi-effect, shft allows producers to dramatically reshape incoming audio while keeping the workflow immediate and playable.
shft is a tempo-synced rhythmic gate — a trance-gate — grown into a full gated multi-FX. A 16-step sequencer chops your audio with a morphable per-step shape, resonant filter and per-step beat-repeat (forward, reverse or granular). Then a built-in chain — gated reverb, frequency-shifter echo, OTT multiband and heat — plus a lane-based mod matrix turn pads, chords, vocals or drums into a moving, evolving part.
