Released Summer 2011, Samplitude Pro X made the hardware dongle optional, switched to 64-bit operation, included a new soft sampler, introduced window docking and introduced spectral editing. In 2006 MAGIX presented Samplitude 9.0 with advanced dual CPU support, VSTi manager, de-esser and more ergonomic track handling. 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. It came with complete video recording, editing and authoring software. This version included support for ASIO drivers, VST plug-ins (including VST Instruments) with plug-in delay compensation, and hardware control surfaces.
Samplitude Professional 7.0 was released at the end of 2002. The last releases still in version 5 were in June 1999 after which SEK'D sold the Samplitude line to MAGIX. Red Roaster's name being derived from the Red Book standard to which it conforms, included only the CD-burning features of Samplitude. Simultaneously less expensive but limited versions of Samplitude called Red Roaster and Samplitude Studio were released for Windows 95/98 and NT4. Samplitude was unique at that time, being able to record audio to hard disk and RAM. It supported 24-bit recording at sample rates up to 96 kHz. In 1998 Samplitude 2496 was released, at the time owned by German audio company SEK'D (formerly Hohner Midia).

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. One of the features that separates Samplitude from other DAWs is the concept of "object-oriented editing".
