Turn off one sampler effect without resetting it

Use the effect’s own On/Off switch. It turns off that effect only and remembers its settings. Switching tabs never turns an effect off.

Handy for quick questions, like whether the Delay helps a vocal Chop, while the Reverb stays on. Check Editing first so you change the right sound.

For S9 Sampler 0.1.6 (paid beta). More help inside the app: Help & Shortcuts → Effects & mixing.

Step by step

  1. Check what you’re editing

    Choose Whole Sample for the shared sound or Edit Chop for the selected Chop.

  2. Open the effect

    Go to Delay, Reverb, Chorus, Phaser or the effect you want to check.

  3. Switch it off

    Turn its switch Off and play the same phrase. The other effects keep running.

  4. Switch it back on

    Turn it On to bring back the same settings. Editing a switched-off effect can turn it back on.

Good to know

Judge it in the mix

Ask whether the effect helps the part sit in the song, not whether you can hear it solo.

Space has separate switches

Delay, Reverb and Spatial switch on their own. Switching off Width & Depth doesn’t switch off Pan.
