Cell Sampler

Cell Sampler is a generative instrument that turns your own samples into evolving, unpredictable sequences. Drop audio files into a grid and the plugin automatically maps each one to its own cell. Click or drag to set cells alive or dead, then play any note to trigger generations of cellular automata based on classic rules of survival, death, and rebirth. Living cells fire their samples, but only if that sample isn’t already sounding, creating organic, self-generating patterns. You can map specific cell states to notes for instant recall, restrict pitches to a scale with Key Snap, and even move living cells with MIDI CCs for hands-on manipulation. It’s ideal for producers seeking happy accidents, glitchy textures, or ever-changing rhythmic beds. Perfect for ambient, experimental, and electronic styles where controlled randomness is welcome.
