MAP Audio has introduced PAM (Pattern-Based Audio Mapping System), an 8-track modular sampler, with each cell featuring a sampler, effects chain and sequencer.
Features:
- Cell Grid: Eight independent cells with samplers, effects, and modulation. Route modulation between cells and build complex signal flows.
- Cell Views: Four views per cell: Sampler controls, Sample Browser, Pattern Editor, and Effects chain. Switch instantly between them.
- CtrlAll: Global macro controls and A/B crossfader. Link parameters across all cells with per-cell exclusions.
- Slicer: Slice samples into segments with automatic transient detection. Sequence slices with the dedicated slice patterns.
- Pattern: Step sequencer with note, pitch, slice, and stretch lanes b plus a piano roll for poly mode. Draw and resize notes across the full pitch range with scale filter and velocity lane.
- Tracker: Tracker-style pattern view across all cells. Program notes, velocity, probability, and retrigger in a vertical timeline.
- Mixer: Mix all eight cells with volume, pan, mute, and solo. Per-cell effects chain with EQ, Filter, Delay, Compressor, and more.
- Looper: Record up to eight tracks with overdub, external input, and drag-and-drop. Save eight variations with bar-synced switching.
- Vary: Per-parameter randomization with adjustable range and probability. Add controlled variation to any knob.
- LFO Modulation: Six global LFOs with multiple shapes and tempo sync. Map to any parameter with depth and bipolar control.
- Envelope Follower: Per-parameter envelope followers with adjustable attack and release. Sidechain from any cell output.
- Randomization: Generate random signals and setups for specific parts of PAM – randomize all LFOs at once, all envelope followers, all sequencers, and others.
Pricing and Availability:
PAM is available now for macOS & Windows for $150 USD or for $12.50/month.
