The magic lives in the leftovers.
Clean chops can feel disconnected. Ghost Sample generates the faint resonance and accidental texture that might linger in a physical recording: snare wires vibrating behind a kick, a cabinet murmuring under a phrase, a metallic tail disappearing into the room. Dial it quietly for atmosphere, or push it into a character of its own.
01 / Ghost Note Bleed
Transient-triggered resonators and colored noise produce ten synthetic voices. Shape the decay, duck them under the hit and swell them into the gaps.
02 / Pre-Dig
Add a small needle-like thud or crackle 0.2–12 ms before a detected hit. Fixed 20 ms lookahead gives the engine room to place the artifact ahead of the delayed transient.
03 / Phase-Drift
Tiny modulated delays introduce slow wow and subtle differences between the left and right channels. Add movement, blur and a little instability.
Your own ghosts
Save named presets in a USER folder, load shared .ghostpreset files and recall settings with your DAW project. Duplicate names create numbered copies.
Ten bleed models. One haunted rack.
Snare wires · Bass cabinet · Guitar strings · Piano soundboard · Electric piano tines · Brush snare · Cymbal wash · Organ leakage · Brass valve chatter · Vibraphone bars
Every voice is generated synthetically. No vinyl recordings or third-party sampled performances are bundled.
From a clean loop to a physical space.
Start with a chop
Insert it on a sample track or drum bus. Set sensitivity so the important hits wake the engine.
Find the residue
Audition with Ghost solo, then blend the amount down. Use Duck and Swell to leave the strongest hits clear.
Disturb the edges
A short Pre-Dig lead and a little drift can make perfectly aligned chops feel less static.
Keep your favorite
Save to USER, match output loudness and compare against bypass before committing the sound.
