Key Features
1. Automatic Tag Matching
Samplism features a breakthrough technology that automatically categorizes audio samples into tags. With Samplism, you don’t need to waste your time anymore on manually categorizing your audio files. Just drag and drop directories on your Mac into Samplism. All audio samples are automatically categorized into tags. It’s practically a magic.
2. Search for Audio Samples using Tags and Auto Tags
Samplism provides a simple, quick and easy way to search for audio samples using tags and auto tags. By simply selecting a tag, all its corresponding samples will be shown in the Sample List. In addition, auto tags allow you to search for samples with more specific criteria.
3. Manual Tag Matching
The automatic tag matching feature in Samplism allows you to quickly and conveniently classify audio samples into tags. But sometimes the matching results may not be accurate. With the manual tagging feature, you can classify samples more precisely.
4. User-Defined Tags
In addition to a rich set of built-in tags, Samplism allows you to create your own tags and group tags. With the user-defined tagging feature, you can categorize audio samples much more accurately.
5. Organize Audio Samples with Folders
Samplism provides folders and folder groups to help you organize audio samples better. Simply select audio samples in a library and drag and drop them into a folder. It is simple, quick and easy.
6. Advanced Sample Player
Samplism provides a simple, easy-to-use yet powerful sample player which allows you to play an entire audio file, the waveform selection, or transient regions.
7. Files View
The Files View allows you to simply and quickly search for audio samples on a directory-basis.
8. Simplism: the Samplism mini player
Simplism is designed to use with DAWs or other audio apps together on a single monitor screen. It takes up very little space on your screen and still provides most key features of Samplism such as navigating, previewing and searching for your audio samples.
9. Export Audio Samples
With Samplism, exporting as audio files has never been easier. Simply select audio samples, the waveform selection, or transient regions. Samplism provides various export options such as file type, sample rate and bit depth. With just a click, all selected samples are automatically converted as audio files, which can be used in other DAWs.
10. Import Third-Party Library (*)
Samplism provides a super easy way to import well-known third-party libraries installed on your Mac. Samplism automatically detects well-known third-party libraries, so you don’t need to worry about finding the directory location of third-party libraries. No setup is required. All you have to do is to simply import them with just one-click.
(* Logic Pro X, Ableton Live, Native Instruments, Loopcloud, Splice and AKAI MPC supported)
11. Working with DAWs
Simply drag and drop audio samples, the waveform selection or transient regions into DAWs. It just works. A powerful drag and drop feature in Samplism greatly improves workflow and increase creativity. Sampling has never been easier with Samplism.
12. Working with Audio Units
Samplism supports Audio Unit effects. By selecting the Audio Unit View, Samplism scans all Audio Unit effects installed on your Mac and shows them in the Audio Unit List. All you have to do is to preview audio samples with Audio Unit effects applied, tweak the plugin parameters and enjoy the sound.
13. Built for Mac
In order to provide the best performance and responsiveness, Samplism takes full advantage of the latest macOS technologies including Core Audio, Core Animation, and Grand Central Dispatch, and is fully optimized for 64-bit and multicore processors.
Minimum System Requirements
- macOS 10.13, or later (*Fully compatible with macOS Monterey).
- Native support for Apple Silicon Macs.
- Screen resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels or higher.
- Requires 64-bit Audio Units plug-ins.

Unfortunately, there’s no way for it. You need to re-add the rename folder to the Library List.

Coming from Easy Rex Converter, does Samplism have a “save to original folder” option for exporting? (and would you mind adding this function to Easy Rex Converter too? 😉 )
The sample packs I buy usually come in a pre-made folder structure, and I would really like to convert them a bit quicker by just doing the whole pack at one go – right now, I have to convert them subfolder by subfolder to maintain the folder structure.

Hi, Nobuyoshi.
Yes. When you export samples in Samplism, there’s an option [Preserve directory structure]. Just check it and export:)

I’m a long-time user of Samplism. I just wanted to say that although there are now a bunch other competing apps – even Waves have launched one – nothing comes close to Samplism in terms of the ability to set your samples how you want them.
All the other apps focus on AI, but at its best this can only approximate what people generally consider to be a “bass” or “pad”.
Samplism lets you go much further. Samplism lets me, for example use some “pads” as pads, and other “pads” are synth sweeps, to be used more as an effect. It does this by allowing an extraordinary level of manual control. Automatic tagging is still there, but I rarely use it: to me, the supreme power in having a wonderful collection of samples that you know inside out because you’ve spent time with it in Samplism.
Keep up the excellent work.

No. The current version of Samplism does not have a feature to convert WAV to Apple Loops.

But if you are working in Logic, you can make your own apple loops very easily and store them in the user section of Loops.

We totally agree with your comment.
Unfortunately, making an Apple Loop file requires Apple’s proprietary technology.
So there’s practically no way for third-party developers to implement that feature.
Anyway, thanks for your feedback.

It would be great if Samplism was a plug in to use directly inside of the daw. ADSR has a great sample manager tool that allows users to use a plug in version. If Samplism did that? GAME OVER!!!
