Serato Sample is an audio plugin in AU, VST3, and AAX formats that lets music producers and beat makers chop, pitch-shift, time-stretch, and sample audio within their DAW. It features stem separation powered by machine learning, allowing you to isolate vocals, drums, bass, and melody from any audio track, then manipulate those stems independently. The plugin includes Serato's renowned Pitch 'n Time stretching engine, up to 32 cue points for triggering samples via MIDI, and keyboard mode to play samples across your keyboard. It integrates with Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Pro Tools, FL Studio, Cubase, Studio One and other DAWs. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionSerato Sample has shipped a native Apple Silicon build since version 1.4.1, released in 2022. To update to the native version, visit serato.com/sample/downloads and download the current installer, which will automatically serve the Universal Binary on Apple Silicon Macs. After installing, the plugin will register natively in your DAW's plugin scanner with no migration steps needed — your existing settings and workflows carry over automatically. If you use Pro Tools, ensure you are running Pro Tools 2023.6 or later, as that is the minimum version required for AAX native plugin support. For Logic Pro or Ableton Live users, simply rescan plugins after installation and the native Serato Sample will appear alongside any legacy Intel version. The native build delivers noticeably lower CPU usage and reduced latency during stem separation and real-time pitch shifting compared to running under Rosetta.
