Simpler Tuner 2

Get Every Sample in Key

Never guess a sample's pitch again. Simpler Tuner 2 analyzes the audio of your sample directly and retunes Ableton's Simpler so everything plays in key, instantly - no filename or metadata information required.

Version 2 is a complete re-design. It adds intelligent audio analysis, dynamic start-marker tracking (so it works beautifully when navigating longer loops), two flexible tuning modes, and a seamless one-click mapping system. Everything updates in real time and stays out of your way.

Why producers use Simpler Tuner:

• Automatic Tuning: Detects pitch (C, D#, Fmin, etc.) from sample names and sets Simpler's tuning knob for you.

• Stay in Key: Drop any one-shot or instrument sample and it immediately plays in tune with your other synths. Pitch either to exact (for example C3) or closest (C) root key you can choose.

• Flexible Tuning: Choose between tuning to any exact root key (e.g. C3) or snapping to the nearest key (e.g. C) of your choice.

• Hands-Off Workflow: Works in the background without touching MIDI or envelopes.

• Instant Creativity: Audition and swap samples without stopping to retune each one.

• Native Feel: Lightweight design that looks and behaves like a built-in Ableton device.

• Sample-Start Aware: Move Simpler's start marker and the detected pitch updates instantly — perfect for browsing long samples or loops.
