A plugin that scans your sample library, sorts it by type, BPM and keyword, and lets you search it by text.
You can play any sample chromatically or sliced across the keyboard, with tempo sync, transposition and six effects on an X-Y pad, then export the result as audio or MIDI.
Best for: Drums, Sound Design. Genres: Hip-Hop & Trap, Electronic & EDM, Pop.
Keywords: sample-based, tempo-synced, sound design.
What it does
LANDR Sampler scans, organises and surfaces the sounds in your sample library so you can "search, organize, and play samples like an instrument".
- Library scanning: sorts your samples by type, BPM or keyword without manual tagging, with text search and filters for loop type, category and length.
- Playing: chromatic keyboard playback, slicing, transposition and tempo sync.
- Effects and export: six built-in effects controlled from an X-Y pad; export processed samples as audio or MIDI.
When to use it
Useful if your problem is a messy folder of sample packs rather than a missing sampler: it finds and auditions sounds inside the DAW, then lets you play them. For deeper chopping and sound shaping, look at Serato Sample, CR8 or Egoist.
