Need a simple free/cheap soft sampler!

[Pasz]

I'm looking for a simple soft sampler to use in DP4.61. I looked at MachFive and Kontakt but these plugins are waaaay to expensive for me. Is there a free- or inexpensive shareware plugin that I could use? I just need to play a kick sample. Choosing different samples for different velocities would be nice but isn't required.

DP 5 comes with NanoSampler (and more).

I've not tried it yet though.

I wasn't planning upgrading to 5... Please, someone know some alternatives.

Hi

You can try the Crossfade Loop Synth:

Price is 10 $ though. So its not freebie.

PLuggo junior (free) may have easy sampler with it..as well as 11 other plugins.
I'm not 100% sure about that, but might be worth a look

Although it is designed to be a turntable emulator, you can use destroyfx's turntablist for triggering samples (it will only load one at a time). Just send MIDI to it, and it will trigger the samples like an old-school casio sk-1 or other digital sampling keyboard. Its free and a lot of fun to play around with otherwise. Maybe not the best solution, but certainly one that would work.

I personally use iDrum. It currently goes for about $50, and plays well with DP. It comes with a decent but not spectacular sample library and will load wavs of aiffs.
