Then add additional realism to sounds with manual or automated sound shaping and sample playback variations using the powerful JavaScript-based script editor and create effects like fret noise, key clicks, or legato via scripts.

Finished sounds can be saved as Presence XT presets or exported in a compact sampler file containing all samples, mappings, scripts, and settings for convenient file sharing and exchange.
