You only need OneShot

Drum Sampler

A strikingly innovative Motion engine NEW

OneShot at its core is built around a highly sophisticated drum engine designed for single hits. With OneShot2, we've pushed things further and introduced an unmatched Motion engine that allows the user to create phrases that breathe and evolve over time. Thanks to this new and completely unique feature, anyone can craft cymbal swells, shakers, brushed textures, foley elements, and virtually any rhythmic sound that you can think of.

OneShot Evolved

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.

Optional Motion Controller app

(iPhone ↔ macOS only)

Shape rhythm through movement. With the optional Motion Controller app, you can control motion sounds using your iPhone’s accelerometer, turning gesture into expression.

Expand your palette

OneShot2 comes loaded with a wide range of high-quality drum kits and percussion sounds, meticulously recorded with multiple velocity layers and round-robins. And if you want more, additional expansion packs – including artist collaborations – are available to extend your sonic options even further.

From classic kits to unique percussion textures or detailed foley sounds, OneShot gives you everything you need to take your beats to the next level.

When I want acoustic drums on a track and don’t have time to record real ones I always reach for OneShot

– Max Cooke, producer & songwriter

Fresh effects added NEW

We've borrowed some goodies from ourselves, and included the epic reverb algorithm found in Walls, as well as the Transient enhancement magic from Fosfat. And a handy Unstereo tool, when things get too wide and crazy.

With OneShot, we've aimed to build a complete creative environment that at the same time remains very straightforward, allowing users to quickly generate usable sounds that fit their project. This is why we've made it possible to achieve a production-ready mix directly within the plugin.
