Bliss represents the culmination of discoDSP's sampling technology, offering an all-in-one solution for professional sound designers and music producers. Born from the legacy of HighLife, this advanced sampler combines pristine audio quality with intuitive workflow features, bridging the gap between hardware and software sampling paradigms.

With its state-of-the-art 32-bit floating-point engine, multi-format compatibility, and comprehensive editing capabilities, Bliss serves as both a creative instrument and a powerful audio manipulation tool. The meticulous attention to sound quality is evident in every aspect of its design, from the precision of its interpolation algorithms to the musical character of its filters.

Bliss features a sophisticated built-in plugin host that allows you to record directly from your favorite virtual instruments. This seamless integration enables lossless sampling of VST, VST3, and AU instruments, preserving the full quality and character of your sound sources.^(note)Virtual instrument sampling does not encompass all third-party plugins, as some may include offline sampling protection, custom preset management, or other features that could affect compatibility with the Bliss host. It is recommended to test the trial version first to ensure compatibility.

The host provides flexible recording options, intuitive controls, and efficient workflow, making the process of creating custom sample libraries quick and straightforward. Whether you're capturing individual notes, multi-samples, or complex performances, Bliss's plugin hosting capabilities offer unparalleled convenience and quality.

Bliss's advanced Keyboard Mapping Editor provides unprecedented control over sample zone distribution and MIDI response. This intuitive visual interface allows you to precisely map samples across the keyboard.

The editor offers drag-and-drop note and velocity range mapping, precise root key adjustment with visual feedback, multi-zone simultaneous editing, complex velocity-based layering, and real-time interactive parameter preview.

Perfect for creating multi-sampled instruments, building sample-based synthesizers, and fine-tuning sample libraries.

The comprehensive built-in wave editor in Bliss provides precise control over your samples with full undo history. Zoom up to 1:1 resolution for detailed editing, and work with independent left-right-stereo selections for maximum flexibility.

The editor supports 7 different loop types including forward, bidirectional, backward, and crossfade options. Essential editing functions include cut, copy, paste, mix paste, trim, fade in/out, normalization, and more.

Additional features like auto-slice to tempo, transient detection, and automatable zone parameters enhance your editing capabilities, making Bliss a complete solution for sample manipulation.

Bliss's powerful playback engine delivers exceptional sound quality and flexibility with up to 64 voices polyphony and 4X oversampling. Choose from various interpolation engines, including up to 512 points SINC interpolation for pristine audio quality.

The engine supports full mono/poly/legato operation with glide and auto-switch control, giving you complete command over your sound. The 4-voice unison with detuning capability adds richness and depth to your samples, creating lush, expansive textures perfect for modern productions.

This combination of features ensures that Bliss not only faithfully reproduces your samples but enhances them with professional-grade playback capabilities.

Shape your sound with Bliss's sophisticated dual filter system. The filters offer 24dB/Oct modes including Lowpass, Highpass, Bandpass (two types), Notch, Peaking, and Disabled options. Enjoy stepping-free Cutoff, Resonance, and Drive parameters for smooth, precise control.

The filters respond dynamically to velocity and keyboard tracking, allowing for expressive performances and natural-sounding instruments. These high-quality filters are essential for crafting everything from classic analog synth tones to modern sound design effects, giving you the sonic flexibility to realize your creative vision.

Unleash your creativity with Bliss's comprehensive modulation capabilities. Dive into Parameter Morphing to create evolving sounds that dynamically transform over time. Gain quick access to your most-used parameters with 8 assignable macro knobs. Enjoy independent envelope settings that provide separate controls for amplitude, modulation, LFO, and filters. Harness the power of dual syncable LFOs with configurable phase settings for complex, rhythmic modulations. Experience stepping-free controls that deliver smooth modulation sends, pitch bend, and mod wheel interactions, giving you unprecedented sound design flexibility.

Enhance your sounds with Bliss's comprehensive effects processing. The unique "Rock Da Disco" multiband and waveshaper limiter effect adds character and movement to your samples. A soft clipper tames output levels while adding subtle warmth./p>

The stereo rotation effect expands your sound's spatial presence. High-quality chorus, delay, and reverb processors add depth and dimension with per-zone send levels for precise control. Selectable Pre/Post effects include a Bit reducer for lo-fi textures, Phaser for sweeping modulation, and Distortion for added grit and character./p>

This versatile effects suite transforms simple samples into rich, professional-sounding instruments ready for any production.

Bliss offers unparalleled compatibility with a wide range of audio and sampler formats. Import numerous audio file types including WAV, AIFF, FLAC, OGG, MP3, and many more. The sampler supports program formats like AKAI S5000-S6000, EXS, SFZ, SoundFont2, and Renoise Instruments.

Auto and drum mapping is available when opening multiple files simultaneously. The LUA scripting engine for program loading allows easy addition of new file formats. Export options include proprietary ZBP programs and ZBB banks with 24-bit lossless FLAC encoding, standard SFZ with comprehensive opcode support, and 16/24-bit WAV files with loop points preserved.

This extensive format support ensures seamless integration with your existing workflow and sample libraries.
