Just a Sample

Overview

Your favorite sampler shouldn't be complicated.

Just a Sample is a powerful, modern audio sampler, with a focus on simplicity and ease of use. Best of all, it's free and open-source. I spent a lot of time on this project, and I think it will be a great addition to your plugin collection.

Available for Windows, Mac, and Linux in VST3/AU.

Core features

• Smoothly zoom in to the level of individual samples to
  set bounds as accurately as you need. Waveform drawing is optimized for large samples.
• Integrated Bungee time stretcher allows for
  freely modulating time and pitch independently. Try extreme slow-downs (0.01x) for unique sounds.
• Modern navigation controls allow for easy browsing of waveforms with touchpad or mouse.
• A routable FX chain includes reverb, chorus, distortion, and EQ for easy sound design.
• Waveform Mode activates when small bounds are set, looping the waveform periodically like a wavetable synth. This turns Just a Sample into a unique tone generator.
• Easily modify attack and release curves.
• Includes equal power cross-fade looping with separate attack and release sample portions.
• Supports pitch bend and fine-tuning.

Extras

• Disable antialiasing for a gritty LoFi effect.
• Record samples directly into the sampler.
• Store samples directly in plugin state to remove dependencies (can be disabled).
• Auto-tune to A440 (experimental, works best on simple sounds).
