OneShot 2

Pushing drum sampler technology into new territories 

OneShot is a unique drum sampler focused on nuance, dynamics, and next-level realism, trusted by thousands of dedicated music makers worldwide. Since its initial launch in March 2023, OneShot has continuously evolved through regular updates and an expanding sound library.

With the release of OneShot2 in March 2026, an all-new Motion Engine and an additional new sound library was introduced – empowering anyone to create timed cymbal swells, shaker patterns, foley textures, and virtually any rhythmic movement imaginable.

By adding this dimension of motion to the already powerful OneShot sample playback engine, OneShot2 becomes more than an update, it sets a new standard for what a drum sampler can be.

Still the OneShot you know

OneShot has always been more than just a drum sampler. It is a complete percussive workstation built around a highly sophisticated sample engine designed to add outstanding drums to your projects, where every detail in the workflow and sound design has been carefully considered.

Developed for playability as much as precision, OneShot delivers superior organic feel through humanize controls, velocity layering, and round robin playback, alongside powerful shaping tools and effects. Even with the addition of the Motion Engine, OneShot2 remains fast, flexible, and intuitive, staying true to Klevgrand’s signature workflow.

The sample engine gives you full control. Each slot has its own mixer channel for effects, levels, and routing. With multi-output support, you can also send sounds to separate tracks in your DAW for further processing.

Bring your own beat

OneShot2 isn’t limited to its included multi-sampled sounds. Simply drop in your own samples and let OneShot’s built-in smartness instantly turn them into playable instruments.
