Free Sampler Plugins

A good sampler lets you turn a recording into an instrument, chop a phrase into a new rhythm or build a playable sound from a single note. Here are the free samplers and slicers in the directory, gathered in one place.

Take a sample somewhere new.

Think about how you want to work: play a one-shot across the keyboard, map several sounds, or trigger slices from a longer recording. These are different jobs, and not every sampler does all of them. Start with the plugin’s description and demo, then check the installation notes. For pitch, stretching and extra ways to rearrange audio, explore The Sample Flipping Toolkit.
