What Best Friend adds to the EP-1320
Build and edit multi-samples
Layer samples into one playable instrument on the EP-1320. Set the length, crop and loop each layer, preview it, then save the whole thing as a single waveform — and edit a single layer later without starting over.
Every EP-1320 pad setting on one screen
Trim, attack and release, volume, pitch, pan, play mode, time-stretch, and MIDI channel, with the waveform above them and hardware control over the trim window.
See a whole EP-1320 bank at once
Every pad in the group as a grid of waveforms and names. Toggle mute, pitch up, pitch down, and reverse on individual pads without leaving the view.
Bank Snapshots and backups
Snapshot a single EP-1320 bank to recall later, back up the current project, or back up the entire system. Everything is named, dated, and restorable in one tap.
A real sample editor
Crop, normalize, reverse, repitch, flatten stereo to mono, and change sample rate, then stack three-band EQ, 1176-style compression, distortion and saturation, Small Stone phaser, Juno chorus, tremolo, delay, and reverb.
Stems
Split any sample into isolated drums, bass, vocals, guitar, and instruments, then remix the levels or mute a track entirely.
