Momentum is an audio player with built-in multi-effects and beat slicing capabilities, available in VST, AU, and AAX plugin formats for digital audio workstations on PC and Mac. The software is compatible with 64-bit plugin hosts only. Momentum also includes a free 1.8 GB sample pack, which contains a selection of Big Fish Audio’s best-selling samples and loops.

So, let’s start with Momentum’s most important feature. The plugin can load any existing WAV files on your hard drive. It is fully compatible with third-party loops, and you’re not forced into purchasing any Big Fish Audio sample libraries as a pre-requisite for using the software. That said, the built-in browser on the left side of the interface can be used for browsing your existing Big Fish Audio products and purchasing additional libraries.

Momentum can load multiple audio files simultaneously. Every audio file, be it a one-shot sample or a loop, will be assigned to an audio channel with adjustable volume, pan, and pitch parameters. Once you’ve loaded an audio loop, Momentum will automatically cut it into slices that will be mapped to individual MIDI notes. These slices can be treated with up to eight different effects. There are actually eighteen effects in total, but only up to eight can be used per channel.

Thanks to its intuitive user interface, Momentum can be used to drastically modify audio loops in a matter of seconds. Each slice is treated separately, so you can distort a kick drum, pitch down a snare, and then add flanger and reverb to a hi-hat while reversing it. This is all done very quickly by clicking and dragging the mouse across the waveform. You can simply “draw in” the intensity and character of each effect for every slice.

The most apparent use for Momentum would be processing drum loops to add interest and motion. But you can also experiment with mangling guitar recordings, vocals, or basslines. The software will automatically sync to the host application’s tempo setting, so it’s super easy to fire up an instance of Momentum and play around with editing audio loops.

Momentum can be downloaded entirely free of charge from Big Fish Audio’s website. I have to say that this is one of the most hassle-free software installation and activation experiences I’ve had in a while. The installation package can be downloaded directly from the product page, with no registration required. Once installed, you will need to activate the software by logging in to your Big Fish Audio user account. But even if you don’t have an account already, you can easily create one from the comfort of your DAW and start using the plugin immediately. Big Fish Audio doesn’t even require you to verify your email address.

So, Momentum is free to use, with no strings attached. You can use it to turn existing audio loops and recordings into something far more interesting. What’s not to like?

Sometime you just need a plain good old sampler VST plugin for your tracks :
just load a .wav sample, tweak some envelope, maybe adjust pitch, and add some loop points. No more no less.
You don’t need the bells & whistles of Kontakt, nor gigabytes of library => just load some samples and come on !

So here’s a selection of 6 FREEWARE sampler in VST format:

1. TX16Wx VST

download 100% free : http://www.tx16wx.com/

Available for Windows (32 & 64 bit) & Mac (VST & AU 64 bit)
This one is more than a simple sampler for loading & playing audio files!
It’s the more complete & full featured free sampler.
Tons of modulations & envelope, powerful keyboard mapping…
You can choose between 4 sizes for the UI (from 800X600 to 1280X768)
and the plugin can record from its own inputs (DAW inputs).
This is also the more “up to date” plugin.
It can load wav, aiff ogg, flac + sf2 soundfonts and sfz.

2. Grace : Sampler

Grace Sampler

I find it more good looking than the TX16Wx!
It’s also very powerful; with keyboard mapping, envelope & modulation.
like the precedent, it can preview sounds, the browser is very nice.
can load wav, aif & snd + sfz bank sounds.
On the website you can also download library with good sounds.

3. ShortCircuit 2

download 4 free ! http://vemberaudio.se/shortcircuit.php

Availbable for Windows , 32 bit VST.
Sadly, Shortcircuit is discontinued.
But if you’re still using 32 bit VST, it’s one the best VST sampler around.
The Keyboard mapping (on a vertical view ! unlike the others), the modulation & evelope options, it’s very complete, and should work without any problems (you can also download older version if you experience some bugs)

can load wav files + AKAI sample file (AKAI S5000/S6000/ Z4 Z8) + sf2 files + Recycle REX files.

4. Paax 2 sampler

Paax 2 VST

Free Sample Slicer Vst

direct download : http://www.behringerdownload.de/UCONTROL/p2_app.zip

Available for Windows 32 bit only VST.
Unfortunaly, the paax sampler has vanished from the internet, and is no longer developed.
The paax 3 was free for some time, and the paax 2 was always freeware.
The UI is small, but all the features are here.
Not the fastest workflow, but some like it like that.

5. EZ-Sampler

Free Sample Slicer Vst

download : http://sbaudio.org/ez-sampler

Available for Windows, 32 bit VST only.
This one is simple, you can load only one sample, so no keyboard mapping.
Sometimes it’s just what you need ! and with EZ-Sampler, it’s fast and without troubles.
can load wav, aiff, ogg, flac, snd, wma & mp3 (need Lame Encoder).
