When edIT started making music, sampling wasn't a stylistic choice. Computers weren't yet powerful enough for synthesis, so the Los Angeles producer – later a founding member of The Glitch Mob – built his first tracks by loading audio files into a tracker. Two decades on, he sees the practice differently. “Samples can give you your own signature sound, based on so many factors: what you're digging for, how you're chopping, how you're looping or imperfectly looping things,” he says. “Nowadays, when I go back to sampling, I'm trying to chop or loop in an untraditional way – something that my music brain would not gravitate towards playing.”

Impact explores Sampler’s versatile slicing function, as both a workflow-booster and a creative starting point. Among this production-ready collection of drum kits, bass, synth stabs, and breaks, you’ll find presets that pack dozens of hits into a single Sampler, accessible with a twist of the Select knob. When it came to breakbeats, edIT reprogrammed an iconic favorite from scratch, processing and layering it with his own kicks and snares for extra punch. Elsewhere he raided his own archive. “I pulled a ton of the sounds from recent Glitch Mob tunes and from my last record, Come to Grips, so I didn't hold back,” he says. “I was really debating: should I give people my secret weapons? And I was like, might as well.”
