SAMPLE MANAGER FREE
A free sample library manager for macOS, Windows and Linux. Not a trial — it never expires.
Yes — Sample Manager Free is a free sample library manager for macOS, Windows and Linux. It is not a trial: no timer, no account, no license file, and it never expires. Point it at your sample folders and it scans them in the background, reads BPM, key and category from filenames, folder names and embedded metadata, and keeps watching for new files. Tag, rate, colour-label and favourite samples, search the whole library instantly, audition with a waveform display, and drag samples straight into your DAW.
What Free doesn't do: deep DSP analysis and Audio Health checks, similarity search and structured queries, the non-destructive waveform editor, format conversion, metadata and UCS bulk editing, and the Sound Designer and Generator workspaces. Those are Sample Manager Pro. Free is the same Library, with the analysis and editing tools switched off.
Version 1.0.3 — select your platform. No account required.
Optional — get occasional emails about new products and releases. Not required to download.
