Fast MPC-style workflow
At its core, Speedrum Lite is about speed. The 16-pad layout mirrors classic hardware drum machines, letting you drag and drop samples directly onto pads or load them via each pad’s context menu.
Copying, swapping, and reassigning pads is frictionless, making it easy to sketch ideas, rearrange kits, or audition variations without breaking creative flow.
Each pad features essential controls including volume, pan, pitch, velocity modulation, and start/end trimming, all visualised through a clear waveform display.
An integrated AHD envelope allows quick shaping of transients and tails, while low-pass and high-pass filters help carve space in a mix without overcomplication.
Practical routing and performance features
Speedrum Lite goes beyond basic playback with performance-focused tools that matter in real sessions. Mono and poly voice modes, along with eight choke groups, make it well suited to tight drum programming, realistic hi-hat behavior, and layered percussion.
Pads can even trigger other pads, opening up simple but effective performance and layering tricks.
For mixing flexibility, each pad can be routed to one of 16 stereo outputs, making Speedrum Lite easy to integrate into larger DAW sessions.
Add a fully resizable interface, internal sample browser with preview, and broad file format support, and you have a lightweight drum sampler that punches well above its size.
