What's the new sampler like?

Two blendable A/B sound sources with identical controls: pitch, tune, half-time, pan, amp, and low-pass/high-pass/band-pass filters at 12/24/48 dB. Full ADSR, plus standard, unison, and sub playback modes. A shared modulation section gives you three LFOs and three envelopes.

What is Scorch 2 and how is it different from Scorch 1?

Scorch 2 is a full rebuild. Still built around real analog synths, but with a lot more room to actually design your own sound. You get two blendable sound sources, the raw waveforms behind them, a full sampler page, an effects page, and a built-in MIDI sequencer. Scorch 1's center dial evolved into the Chaos knob, with three macros underneath it (Bite, Space, and Motion) that let you tame whatever it does. Everything you liked about Scorch 1 is still here, it just doesn't hit a ceiling anymore.

Is Scorch 2 better suited to beginners or more advanced producers?

Both. Hit a chord and you get a usable sound right away, which is great if you're newer. But there's also raw waveforms plus a full sampler and effects page underneath, so producers who want to build sounds from scratch have room to do that too.
