In this day in age when its a given all Daws have a proper sampler included why do we as longtime cubase followers still have to pay for one :bulb:

As Cubase really belongs in studio rigs costing several thousands of £$Euros and the requisite expertise to set up how come there are so many posts dedicated to saving twopence? [:mrgreen:]

Go to kvraudio, plenty of simple freebees.

oh, what a nice topic, really… please have a look: [image] Cubase 6 needs a sampler Please add a sampler instrument to Cubase 6 in one of the updates… I would be happy with a HALion 4 LE version when it comes out. Almost every other DAW has a sampler included, except for Cubase 😊 An…

ShortCircuit v1 or v2. Sampler or otherwise, possibly the best free VSTi, period! [u] Shortcircuit | Vemberaudio.se Followed not to far behind by Ultimate Sound Banks UVI Workstation … a kinda, sorta sampler.

erm… Every other DAW on the market comes with a fully functioning sampler by default (!) How nice would it be to simply play a cutted region e.g. per drag/drop with an onboard-sampler - pure creativity! Not only for sounddesigners, musicians or composers, but also for the simple song exchange (!)…

BTW: Steinberg has long time a sampler code in the drawer with VSTi Halion. So where´s the problem…? Of course! It must be so cheap. Maybe they don’t want the ADHD brigade, having got their sampler, then bombarding them for more and more “freebies”. I’m still wondering why so many destitute peo…

+1 for shortcircuit. What I love about this sampler (aside from it being free) is that you can drag audio clips directly from the cubase media bay or from the arrange window, straight into the short circuit window. (UVI workstation always crashes when I try that) SC was discontinued in the middle…

Simple Sampler without the cost?
