All over the internet, and even here, it says it is free. It is not free... not the program, not the standalone plugin. It's $10.

I spent ages looking for software to organize my huge number of one-shots and loops. I liked ADSR Sample Manager the best. Unfortunately, I can barely use it; it just doesn't seem to handle large sample pools very well.
It slows down my Ableton Live considerably, and it takes ages to even use it because it always takes a relatively long time to load before it's ready.
For example, when I type something into the search field, the spinning color wheel appears, and it takes forever to enter a complete search term. This also happens when I activate or deactivate the "One Shot" or "Loop" filter.
On top of that, it crashes quite frequently and takes Ableton down with it.
What a shame!)-:

Awful design in overall, bad interface, slow scanning, keep working after DAW was closed already. The fact it's free isn't enough for an excuse.

Agree with and second the other fellows who have understood that you need to wait for the Sample Manager to get the analyzing done first, and not load all your samples up into it all at once.

I love it because it can play different key without changing the playback speed. But the sound is bad on very high notes (understandable). IMPORTANT: you should wait until the plugin finished to analyze the sample library when first time importing a sample folder. When it finished, the plugin is stable. You can monitor the progress by clicking "Show library panel" menu at the left side. It took me 30 minutes to analyze 16 GB sample folder. It crashed a lot while it's analyzing, but when it's done I never experience crash again. (Cakewalk 64-bit Win 10 vst3).

RANDOM BUTTON.
Oh god. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I need nothing more. I waited for my whole life for this random button.
I'd guess you're in my team and think ANY software should have a random button?
