Magic Mix and Perfection: what each does in S9 Sampler

Magic Mix blends the combined Magic effects with your sound. Perfection has its own amount and doesn’t follow Magic Mix. So if you turn Magic Mix down and still hear processing, check Perfection.

Updated 7 November 2026 · S9 Audio

Use them for two separate choices: how much Magic character you want, and whether Perfection helps the finished sound. Change one at a time.

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

S9 Sampler’s ten Magic effects with Mix and Perfection
The real S9 Sampler interface. Open full size.

Step by step

  1. Keep a reference

    Play a short phrase. Put an alternative on A/B if you want to compare full versions.

  2. Set the Magic character

    Turn the Magic effects you want, then use Magic Mix to blend them in. Listen in the track.

  3. Set Perfection

    Adjust Perfection’s own amount and compare again. With Magic Mix at zero, Perfection still works.

  4. Keep the balance

    Play a few notes and check Output. Save Sound to keep it, or Save FX Preset to reuse it.

Good to know

Lost track?

Put one control back and listen to the other. A/B is easier than remembering knob positions.

Magic is shared

Magic shapes the whole sound. Selecting a Chop doesn’t give that Chop its own Magic.
