Speedrum Lite is another top choice among freeware drum samplers. Compared to Sitala, Speedrum Lite offers more control over the Attack and Decay of each sample, dedicated low-pass and high-pass filter knobs per pad, and 16 individual stereo outputs for routing in your DAW. It also supports choke groups and waveform editing with adjustable start/end points. It’s very simple to use, and you can load 16 samples per slot, which is perfect for layering.
Like Sitala, it comes with no samples included, so you’ll need to supply your own. If you prefer the MPC-style workflow and need professional routing capabilities, Speedrum Lite is the way to go. The full version of Speedrum adds layering, a slicer, and more effects if you outgrow the free edition.
