Nuance vs Sample Dicer

Sample Dicer is a four-layer one-shot sampler that turns raw audio into playable sounds that evolve. Each drag-and-drop layer has waveform, volume, pitch, start, shift, and fade controls. Users can randomize samples and parameters together or separately, lock layers, and use Back to restore the previous roll. Performance tools include per-trigger evolution, Round Robin, Burst repeat, chromatic key tracking, and up to 16 voices. The interface provides twenty colour themes, scalable presets, and an optional Glitch Mode that changes sound and visuals. It is available as AU and VST3 plug-ins and as a standalone application. The maker describes the AU version for Logic Pro and other AU hosts. Listed uses include music production, sound design, live performance, sample-library creation, rapid prototyping, game development, film, video, and podcasts. The free indie-use plan costs nothing, subject to company revenue below USD 1,000,000 and project production and development budget below USD 250,000. Eligible users can publish and monetize music, games, films, and sound effects without royalties or attribution.
