Sampling in Three Dimensions with Stem Separation
When Serato launched its landmark Sample software, the company introduced an intuitive, flexible approach to sampling that earned its mettle as a bona fide instrument. Now, Sample 2.0 has arrived to elevate these tools by implementing groundbreaking Serato's Stem Separation feature, making several updates along the way, much to the delight of Sweetwater’s beat-crafting aficionados. Serato’s algorithm has been overhauled to now accommodate up to 32 of the best automatically-selected samples from your track — up from the previous version’s 16-sample limit. Or, go manual to get hands-on with your sound, and let the automatic tempo-sync and key-detection features immensely streamline your sample-chopping workflow. Their legendary Pitch 'n Time tools return for highly flexible aural manipulation, letting you manipulate pitch and time-stretched values, speeding up or slowing down for never-before-heard sonics. What about the new Stem Separation? Your workflow just gained another dimension of operation, with tracks automatically broken out into multiple parts that can be individually manipulated, weaving together samples in ways never before possible.

Stem separation — sampling: evolved
Without studio stems, your options for stem-level audio extraction were confined to two primary methods. One, phase inverting a track’s instrumental version to layer on top of the original, canceling out so only the vocals remain. The second, spending hours meticulously filtering things down to hope you can save enough of the desired part remains useful. Now, Serato’s cutting-edge Stem Separation technology eliminates the hassle of expediting your workflow while preserving your creative spark and driving inspiration. With one click, you’re automatically granted access to four parts: isolated vocals, drums, bass, and melodies. Each element carries the track’s native tempo and key signature information and can be modified with the full suite of Serato Sample’s Pitch ‘n Time tools alongside the keyboard mode that generates an entire piano roll of pitched audio from just one sample. Moreover, deep MIDI compatibility lets you launch into a frenzy of endlessly imaginative sampling and beat-weaving that’s just as powerful on the stage as in your studio.
