This video shows how to build a basic sampler in plugdata. We'll cover the core steps for manipulating audio files to create pitch and speed changes. You'll learn how to read from the table (audio buffer) at different rates to change the pitch and playback speed of the sound. We'll also look at the simple math needed to calculate the correct playback speed. This ensures the sampler patch works correctly with any audio file you load, regardless of its length and sampling rate.
