Layer It

The deal

$39.60 at Loot Audio (down from $99.00). Deal expires May 16, 2026.

What it is

Layer It is a VST sampler instrument designed specifically for crafting drum, percussion, and effect one-shots through layering. It visually resembles a DAW's arrangement view, displaying waveforms stacked beneath one another, but the entire stack fires from a single MIDI note or keypress. Each layer's volume, pitch, filter frequency, and distortion can be shaped by dedicated multi-stage envelope generators for precise sound design control.

Who it's for

Beatmakers and music producers who want to layer and blend drum samples quickly without juggling audio clips or multi-track MIDI setups. Sound designers building complex percussive textures will also find it a capable tool.

Key features

• 155 factory presets with a randomisation browser to speed up sound discovery
• Unlimited layers with support for WAV, MP3, AIFF, FLAC, and OGG file import
• Per-layer multi-stage envelope generators control volume, pitch, filter, and distortion independently
• Finished stacks can be exported as a single audio file or dragged directly onto your DAW's timeline
