Samplitude Pro X provides recording and mixing engineers with sophisticated functions that revolutionize the standard DAW workflow. Edit in real-time, during recording. Apply effects in a custom way to individual clips. Visualize volume, frequency and phase information for selected tracks. Use batch export for automated editing of multiple files at once. Only Samplitude Pro X5 lets you do it all.
In detail
Edit even the smallest segments in large projects more efficiently. The object editor gives you control over your own plug-ins, sends and automations for each clip.
Live editing
Start a recording—and start editing too, without waiting around. You can now cut, edit and export during the recording process.
Audio patterns
Find commonalities in your material. The audio search function marks similar sounds in locations throughout a file.
In color
The new WaveColor function lets you contrast frequencies and map out the sound character of recordings on the visual level.
In control
Keep everything in view: With the program's visualizations tool you can monitor each track for peaks, loudness, frequency or phasing.
All in one go
Experience an easier editing workflow with batch processing! Process multiple audio files or whole folders simultaneously.
Samplitude Pro X5 delivers a huge range of new features and an optimized workflow, along with ultra-smooth project navigation, experience enhanced MIDI operation, a new monitoring section, and seamlessly integrated ARA2. This DAW for all-around and specialist use is packed full of sophisticated new tools for creating perfect sound.
New! Faster project navigation, smoother zooming and scrolling
Experience Samplitude Pro X at a new level of performance. Optimized functions for zoom and scrolling make already smooth workflows even faster. Moving faders with precision in the track editor is now effortless. Keep a clear view of everything in bigger projects—whether for detailed editing or for basic orientation in the arrangement.
New! MIDI Polyphonic Expression
With MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE for short), discover the future of MIDI operation. MPE assigns each note a dedicated MIDI channel, which allows for parallel modulation simultaneously and independently of each other. This way, compatible controllers such as the ROLI seaboard can output their full potential. Want to apply pitch bend to a solo or bring down harmonies using sustain? It's all possible with MPE.
New! Monitoring Section
Say goodbye to meter-long cable connections and expensive routing hardware—the new Monitoring Section in Samplitude Pro X5 offers unprecedented flexibility. Set up multiple monitoring paths and load them with effects. Play back your configurations and integrate a talkback mic if you like—this can be done easily using the mouse or shortcuts.
New! ARA2 support
A second-generation ARA interface allows for more comprehensive switching between Samplitude Pro X5 and ARA-compatible plug-ins. Time-consuming transfers are a thing of the past when integrating plug-ins such as Celemony Melodyne, since audio events can be opened directly here. In addition, ARA2 simplifies simultaneous editing of multiple tracks and clean transitions between clips without crossfades. Another new feature is the simultaneous access to several ARA2 applications in a project. Want to correct pitch with Celemony Melodyne and edit specific frequencies with using Steinberg SpectraLayers at the same time? It's no problem with Samplitude Pro X5.

New! Advanced MIDI controller editing
Transfer your highly dynamic performances and the virtuoso modulation of your best takes to other MIDI objects. Select specific controller data and paste it either partially or entirely onto other lanes. Explore even more creative freedom for making highly expressive compositions.
New! Automation Shapes and advanced copy functions
Save time when drawing automations: Select from a range of predefined Automation Shapes and copy curves simultaneously to any number of automation lanes on other tracks. Simply select the desired section, copy it via the sub-menu and paste it onto the selected tracks.
Samplitude Pro X5 offers new sound generators for new ideas. Professional effects enable you to create one-of-a-kind soundscapes.
