Ocean Swift Sample Tester is a FREE Kontakt Player NKS, compact, zero-friction tool for anyone working with oscillator-style samples.

Drop a file in, play it polyphonically, and know immediately how it behaves in context. The instrument detects (or lets you set) the root note, reports MIR-derived metrics at a glance, and lets you hear the sample either streamed directly or stretched with Time Machine Pro – so you can decide what belongs in your kit, SD card, or Eurorack module.

Sample Tester is designed as the perfect companion to our Spectral Oscillator Toolkits – and equally useful for any tonal or looped material – Sample Tester speeds up curation, tuning checks, and quick musical auditioning with a simple envelope and tactile NKS/NKS2 control.

Highlights:

• Drag & drop loading for immediate auditioning.
• Root note set manually or via automatic MIR detection.
• On-screen MIR readouts: pitch, peak, RMS, and loudness.
• Engine toggle: compare Direct From Disk vs Time Machine Pro stretching.
• Amplitude envelope with one-click shapes: Perc, Bell, Piano, Lead, Pad.
• Polyphonic playback to hear tuning and chords in context.
• NKS & NKS2 mappings for hands-on control in Komplete Kontrol/MASCHINE.
• Free Kontakt Player compatible - no full version required.
