Searching for A (Hopefully Free) Advanced Sampler (2025)

Questions about producing? Ask them here.

Hi all! The last thread about importing Advanced Samplers is quite old and is not longer up to date with current LMMS, so I am creating a new one. I hope this is proper forum etiquette... (We're new to this.)

I am looking for a sampler that actually works in LMMS. The previously mentioned post talks about:

  • Grace (not working)

  • TX16Wx (not working)

  • Shortcircuit (not working)

  • AudioFileProcessor (default, not advanced enough)

Or making your own soundfont, which is too complex for my current skill and not exactly what I'm looking for (I don't think).

I found these three links about VSTs but they are at least 5 years old.

Is there any updated information or sampler plugins that don't crash LMMS and actually save properly?

Thanks!

As new to LMMS and maybe also to DAWs in general(?) perhaps my video Rookie-guide can be useful for you. Link in my signature!

So have i and eventually i found Sitala. It is not a dedicated sampler, but a drum-rack, but it works fine as sampler. Its a bit weird to install so i made a video for it:
