Element VST is a loop modulating WAV player designed to load single 8, 16, or 24-bit WAV files for creative sampling applications. It supports wrap mode looping with crossfade and bounce mode looping, which plays samples forward and in reverse. Users can choose between fixed time and loop-relative crossfade modes, offering flexibility in smooth loop transitions. The plugin provides four interpolation modes ranging from basic to advanced, allowing for varied sound textures and pitch manipulation.

This sampler includes a range of filter options such as low, band, high, cut, and peak, implemented with different filter types like Moog, SVF, and biquad. Loop positions can modulate filter cutoff, adding dynamic tonal shifts over time. Additionally, Element features curveable envelopes and modulation of loop start and end points, enabling reversed playback when the loop end is set before the start. Its polyphonic engine supports up to eight voices, making it suitable for complex layered sounds.

Element VST builds upon open-source WAV player modules originally developed for SynthEdit, incorporating partially open-source components to enhance functionality. The inclusion of downsampling emulation and creative looping modes invites experimentation with classic sampler effects and modern sound design techniques. This combination offers producers a powerful tool for crafting unique and evolving audio textures within their digital audio workstations.
