I started converting an older Kontakt library today and it was rough at first, but once you get past that initial learning curve things sort of start falling into place from there. It is so satisfying when you load up an instrument you worked on and see it show up in Decent Sampler. Thanks again, you are such a blessing to the music community! Joyfully!🎹
can’t thank you enough brother. I just turned a vintage air piano bought for €20 at a thrift shop into a dspreset and it sounds otherworldly. keep up the good work 🗣️
This is fantastic news, not least because it's you, so there's actually a very good chance that there's going to be a sensible direction and evolution 🍾🥳
I followed your instructions this morning and sampled an weird but unremarkable little travel 12 string guitar into DS. I surprised when it worked on the first try. I guess you gave us some pretty darned good instructions.
This is a noble undertaking. Every language supports xml, plus you can define schemas for it, and it is built in to any editor. SFZ is somewhat near to xml but isn't. I envision fully in-browser editors and players in the future. Lastly, thank you for camelCasing the attribute names.
Because you are awesome and made all this free. I'm going to release my first instrument free as well and make it only exclusively available for DecentSampler and Reason NNXT and of course, offer it free :) I'll try and make a video about the process. The instrument is "the Pig Flute", a contra bass flute which I recently made out of PVC pipe. Speaking of Reason, I've tried and tested your DecentSampler VST in Reason and so far it is working super smoothly! I'm not sure, but I think the Reason crew would PROBABLY be interested to also offer it as an RE (Rack Extension, Reason's native system)... not sure if that's something you'd want to look into, but just wanted to throw it out there.
at first I could not get my head around this watching the video and almost noped out of it. Then I sat down, looked at some other dspreset files, and now I have a playable Korg M1 piano sample instrument with 4 velocity layers :D
Awesome that you've provided this excellent tool for free. What a gift. You are clearly talented musically, and in software and with sublime text editing skills. Impressed!
This is super cool! I made a guitar power chord sample instrument once using the Grace plugin, and it was cool, but I think I need to recreate it using your application!
Great stuff, I've been interested in making libraries with custom UI for a while but Kontakt seemed a little too complicated (well, now I've done my first DS library). btw, you forgot to mention you're the one who's behind the project!
you had me at Sublime Text. So pleased that this is just XML. Makes perfect sense. Also I never knew you could edit multiple lines in Sublime. So double win for me today.
Hello David! Thank you for your excellent work with DS and merci beaucoup for your good educational content. I am going to sample an upright piano this weekend. It's a family piano that we sadly have to get rid of...I really wish to sample it because I first got into music with this instrument. Thanks again for all those useful insights.
Thanks David, this was great! I'm working to build a unit in building instruments in decent sampler for my students, and this video will be a great help. You make the coding aspect easy and less daunting.
haven't created anything yet, but this video helped me fix this beautiful "frozen glock" library that had one of the round robins in a specific range 3 semitones above the others and it was very enerving. thanks!
"Ultimately, I definitely expect to make a bunch of visual tools for creating sample libraries..." If Dave made it easier to create sample libraries with more visual tools, Kontakt would go out of business. Kontakt is older than me and to this day it is still unnecessarily difficult for beginners to create a single knob without learning a custom scripting language for Kontakt specifically, and the lack of CZcams tutorial resources doesn't help. If Dave actually addressed the problem Kontakt never did, this would revolutionize the music production industry.
I know this is two months old, but I had to agree. I'm a complete beginner and just spent four days trying to get ADSR knobs and an effects bypass button to work in Kontakt. I did, but the whole time I kept thinking "I can map and assign knobs in any modern synthesizer. Why is this so difficult?!" I still plan on learning Decent Sampler, but if Dave can make visual tools, that'd be a godsend.
I just came across this - brilliant. I sampled my French Mustel harmonium and tried to make an instrument with software called HISE but it defeated me. Maybe I can really do something with my hundreds of wav sample files!
Oh no! I hope they update this so it's not such a huge hassle. In a hurry and just need to create a sample instrument in Cubase 12 right now, and suddenly found there's no obvious way to do that (built in sampler seems useless, no multisample) Thanks for doing the video though.
pls note that if you want to make a decent sampler instrument then you need to sample each note individually and you cannot pitch audio samples to fill in the gaps. this can be done in kontakt tho. example if you sample in minor 3rds of the scale you cannot get the in between notes through decent sampler
Love this concept and I've had a go at making an instument but alas I am a poor hack, and have made an awful instument so far !!!! Couple of questions come to mind though, I'm making drum machines out of it, 1st a cheeky Amen break and then I hope to make a hiHat toy but .. I'm not sure how to get one sample to choke another, for a hi hat open choked by a HiHat closed. Also are there plans for multiple outs at some stage ? Is there a way to have a master tune / pitched for global for all the instruments, and a way to have a knob to tune pacific samples ?
Excellent work! Was wondering (a) if you were planning on opening up the source code, or keeping it close (understandable if you want to have security for selling samples), and (b) how Decent Sampler compares in intended scope to HISE?
wow, my yaw dropped. it hurts. lol, kidding. thx for sharing. i installed this on linux mint, must test. i am planning to travel the world, and record local musicians / instruments etc. will see how it goes was thinking about having something like this, and here it is - thx again for sharing have not yet delved into the docs, but will nevertheless suggest - maybe surge xt synth effects (open source) could be incorporated / magically dipped into ds engine thx for sharing, great work, have fun, aum, s love nia
David, thank you for this. Can you please send me the Winter Felt Piano Free Prototype for DS? It has not been available for DL on PianoBook for months. Please help? I am looking everywhere for it. Many people downloaded it. Please, please help? Thank you!
Hey David, I have a question: what's the reason you wanted to create your own sampler? Were you dissatisfied with the sfz format? Because I noticed, for example, that the sfz-format has no "random" value for it's sequence mode, while the dspreset-format does (talking about a random round robin mode that doesn't trigger the same sample twice). Edit: and forgot to say, but it looks great! Really nice work.
Hi Dave, I'm looking forward to trying this out. As a composer I think there are lots of possibilities and as I have a Computer Science background the markup looks very intuitive. I know you mentioned at the start that all the round-robins played at the same time which wasn't the aim, but it did sound quite full... How about a mode/button that allows you to play n-1 random round-robbin's down to 1 (fat to thin)... just a thought :)
Hey David! Im quite amaized about your work. I really needed a plugin like this which is more simple than kontakt player, but still has the same features. I made multi microphone drum samples from my acoustic drums and cymbals and i would like to import them into Decent Sampler... But related to this i have a question. Is is possible to programme the hi-hat articulations like, closed, open, and the cymbal chokes? Thanks for your reply.
Wow David thank so much for this Vid!! I have never heard of Decent Sampler until now and might consider creating this format in the future , I been creating more kontakt instruments all these years, question only one preset ? or can it have more then one??
Great David! thank you so much for your effort!!! I was wondering if you will going to add time synced in tempo loops, like load a drum loop and make it time stretch to the DAW's bpm. Is that possible? Thanks again!
Hey Dave, I love the idea of the free decent sampler and the fact that instruments are just XML files (+samples of course). I use Notepad++ with XML Tools or also Eclipse for XML editing (eclipse does also feature tag auto close). Could you please tell me if there's a DTD oder XSD available to validate new created decent sampler instrument files?
Hi David this was really interesting and very well presented . The text environments / engines etc your using in the demo are I think Mac specific but which produce product with a final file extension which can be imported by Decent Sampler on Mac, IOS and Windows . Do you know if similar coding environments are available in IOS or windows. If none exist then I think I could write a program in VBA which would achieve the same or similar programming environment for those folks wanting to produce sample libraries in windows ., perhaps with some added automation of repetitive and critically essential commands .

I hpe this format does well (well enough to gain a visual editor!) Will this have a 1 to 1 mapping of all of SFZ 2.0 opcodes? It needs (at least) per voice LFO(s), filter(s) and amplitude envelope.
David, I tried contacting you via the form on your site. Would you ever consider adding loop crossfading to Decent Sampler? It's the only thing keeping my samples from porting from Kontakt. Either way, this is brilliant!

Hi David, greeting from me, maker of some VST (you can check my channel). I have 2 question : 1) Is it possible to protect the wav sampling so user can't see or grab the Wav when user use my library ? 2) Does Decent Sampler has Loop sync BPM-host capabilities ? Beside David, somebody can please help me answer this?
Hey David, I was wondering if it would be possible to control descent sampler via cli commands or via a programming language. It would be amazing if you could, let's say: create a DS instance as an object, set instrument and values in that instance (maybe on creation or have the ability to manipulate it later), and then use that object to play notes of varying pitches and length. If you could do this with programming, I think there would be quite a bit of possibility that could open up. Im assuming your code is close source? So I haven't found a way (like using coding vst hosts) to manipulate it to work yet, but will like to try if you have any ideas on this matter. Thanks.
not yet, but maybe some day? A dream side-project is to try to get it running on a Raspberry Pi...that would probably require some sort of external API like what you describe.

It would be amazing if you could, let's say: create a DS instance as an object, set instrument and values in that instance (maybe on creation or have the ability to manipulate it later), and then use that object to play notes of varying pitches and length.
If you could do this with programming, I think there would be quite a bit of possibility that could open up. Im assuming your code is close source? So I haven't found a way (like using coding vst hosts) to manipulate it to work yet, but will like to try if you have any ideas on this matter. Thanks.
not yet, but maybe some day? A dream side-project is to try to get it running on a Raspberry Pi...that would probably require some sort of external API like what you describe.
Is it opensource?
