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.

Audio Helper Project 
I love Samplism. This is essential to my production.
Thank you for the great product.
And I have two requests to improve Samplism.
One: “Copy and paste multiple tags”
Two: “Leave markers and notes on the audio waveform”
Keep up the good work, Thanks!

Hey,
Nice work! It’d also be super useful to have a “save window state/loction” feature. So when I’m working on a project I can simply move between different types of samples quickly without creating project-specific tags.

Hi, Duane.
In the App Store app, search for “Samplism” app. In the “Samplism” app page, you will see the “Update” button.
Just click it. Then the app will be updated to the latest version v1.8.2.

Would love to see BPM & Key of samples listed + Syncing to a DAW as a plugin.. Waiting on these features so i can finally get rid of the bloated sample managers. Like that this program is very stripped down and to the point.

We are really sorry about that.
Although we plan to provide an online manual and tutorial videos on our website, we don’t have much time to do it because of a lot of features to update.
Anyway, they will be available later.
Until then, please contact us anytime if you have any questions.

Love the progress, also UI is miles ahead of all the other library managers I’ve seen. It would great if you guys could expand upon some the DAW integration features, being able to rewire or run a separate with the repitching and filtering by BPM range would be massive. Loop Cloud, Noiiz, Splice… basically every current option is too focused on pushing their own samples to be particularly useful for people with large pre-existing libraries

Hi !
Please could you add a “date added” column or at least a “date created”. Otherwise when I create new samples I can’t find them…
And also, why can’t we select more than 2 tags at the same time (Tag + Auto Tag) ?
Thanks

First off, we are really sorry about that.
Because we have a lot of great new features to implement, we don’t have enough time now to work on the features you requested.
But don’t worry. We promise that those features will be available later.
Please look forward to the future updates!
