In Samplitude, an "object" is a graphical representation of a piece of audio or MIDI data that appears on a Track in the Arranger window.

Objects created by recording appear as a continuous, unbroken rectangle on the Track.

Samplitude also includes the essentialFX Suite, which are 10 plug-ins using high quality algorithms that have low resource demands.

Three versions were available:[2] In 1998 Samplitude 2496 was released, at the time owned by German audio company SEK'D (formerly Hohner Midia).

Samplitude was unique at that time, being able to record audio to hard disk and RAM.

Some of the new features were the ability to act as a ReWire host, 5.1 surround mixing, analogue-style processors, a virtual drum machine and an Acid-style beat-mapping tool.
