Samplitude comes in three versions: Pro X ($399), which includes 17 virtual instruments and all of the program's main features Pro X Suite ($599), which adds a complete copy of the excellent Sound Forge Pro 11 audio editor, DDP master support, five additional VSTs, the full 70GB soundset for the Independence instrument, and a cleaning and restoration suite and Pro X365 ($12.49 per month to $14.99 per month), a subscription-based version that includes all of the above plus SpectraLayers Pro 5, a visual audio editor that offers comprehensive spectral analysis.įor this review, I tested Samplitude Pro X4 on a custom-built, high-end Core i7-6900K PC with eight physical cores, a Gigabyte GA-X99-Ultra Gaming motherboard, 16GB DDR4 RAM, and a 1TB Intel NVMe SSD.
