Dropout is a sample player designed to transform audio samples through innovative granular pitch shifting and sample slicing techniques. It enables users to manipulate samples by rearranging playback positions and altering pitch, resulting in fresh and distinctive sound textures. This approach allows musicians and producers to explore creative sampling possibilities that go beyond traditional playback.

The plugin features a straightforward interface where the top row of sliders controls the playhead position within the sample for each step, allowing precise navigation through the audio. The middle row adjusts the coarse pitch, which interacts with a global pitch variance setting to introduce dynamic tonal shifts. Additionally, the bottom row provides toggles to reverse individual slices, adding further sonic variation and complexity to the playback.

Dropout shares many common settings with other plugins from the same developer, making it accessible to those familiar with similar tools. It integrates seamlessly into various music production workflows, offering an intuitive experience for artists seeking to experiment with sample manipulation. By combining granular synthesis elements with flexible sample control, Dropout encourages exploration and innovative sound design.
