Zampler is a free full featured audio sampler workstation.

Beat magazine teamed up with Synapse Audio to produce this free audio sampler that can compete with commercial software in terms of sound and features.

It has SRC-enabled sample oscillators which gives you deep tone shaping capabilities. You also get multi-mode filters that include highpass, lowpass, bandpass and bandstop which you can control and mix to your preference.

Zampler comes with three LFOs, three ADSR envelopes and a complex modulation matrix to turn your audio samples into a real virtual instrument. Finally, this free software also comes with its own essential effects section that include two equalizers, tube saturation, phaser, delay, chorus and even reverb.

This sampler supports samples of any bit depth (8/16/24/32-bit), be it mono or stereo. It can handle samples of various sample rates and can handle up to 128 keyboard and velocity splits.

With its clever step-sequencer, you can create complex and vibrant sounds.
