Most samplers just record what you play and spit it back. This one watches you.
The AC Noises Continua is a stereo dynamic sampler and multi-effect that listens to how you hit the strings, how hard, how fast, and reacts while you’re still playing. It captures your repeats and twists them in real time — mix, tempo, pitch, sustain, freeze, glitch, dimension, lo-fi, downsampling, reverb, smear, filter. All of it happening as you play, not after.
Meanwhile, your dry signal stays clean. Or you can route it through the multi-effect section too, if you want everything swimming in the same weird water.
It was born from a collaboration between AC Noises and Andrea Degli Esposti from BunkerNoise, and you can feel that in the hands-on layout. Primary and secondary parameters everywhere. You can dial in sensitivity, threshold, attack, release, stereo spread, lo-fi modulation depth, reverb decay — the kind of control you’d expect from a rack unit, not a pedal.
Forward or reverse. Full repeats or ghostly tails that fade like they’re embarrassed to exist. And when you need things to fall apart, there’s a momentary tilt function that just scatters everything.
Two onboard presets. Full MIDI over mini-jack and USB-C. Routing from mono in to mono out, mono to stereo, or full stereo in and out. Bypass is selectable — buffered with tail or hard bypass, or true bypass if you want nothing between you and the amp.
It’s a sampler that doesn’t just remember what you played. It decides what it wants to do with it.
