Beat Zampler by Synapse Audio.
Synapse Audio and Beat Magazine have released Beat Zampler, a free sampler/workstation with SFZ support, available for Windows and Mac.
We’ve just released our sample workstation Zampler which is available for free at http://www.zampler.de. Zampler was developed by Synapse Audio and supports Windows and OS X and the plug-in formats VST and AU.
Beat Zampler is avilable for free download at zampler.de. Seems like a neat little sampler, and it also loads SFZ which is great news!
If you’re looking for free SFZ banks, here are some recommendations:
- Mini Analogue Collection
- Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra
- Rickenbacker 4001 Bass
- Lite Piano Free
- DIY Music Box
- Ambient Space I
- The Taijiguy Mellotron
- Yamaha DX7 Lately Bass
- Kriminal’s Analogue Bass Samples

UPDATE: Done a bit of testing and I really like what I’m seeing so far. Small download (around 1MB), easy installation (just extract the DLL), and SFZ file support works flawlessly. Also has a nice mod matrix and effects section. Seems like this will become my new go-to SFZ player. Thanks Synapse Audio & Beat Magazine!

thanks!! I´ll give a try!! Looks good!
i’ve made a quick test and really liked it! works fantastic as a SFZ player.
Unfortely you cant download the demo libary soundbank. Only download about 85 mb. Tried it with both IE and Firefox.
Will try it with some sfz.
Thanx for the tip and a very good site, bpb :-)
hmm, i haven’t tried downloading the demo library yet. however, whenever i have trouble downloading stuff, i try doing it with FDM:
http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/
it’s free and will always continue the download.
Long time since i use a download manager. But it works perfect with free download manager
And banner free too :-)
Thanx a lot
cheers
indeed, FDM is great. i use it all the time!
Stunning GUI, me like.
Amazing demo tracks.
Downloading, thanks :)
the GUI is great, indeed! nice and clean. i’m loving Beat Zampler so far.
Yeah, i can’t download the demo soundbank neither.
Oh bpb, some free sfz samplebank links would be very nice here.
Thanks.
good idea! i’ll add links to some SFZ banks now, thanks.
btw, have you tried downloading with a download manager? those often help with quirky downloads.
Yes, finally i got the file with JDownloader.
Works like a charm.
Installing the library right now.
Thanks bpb.
Have a good day :)
great, have fun! :)
this is great. dune is one of my favorite vst anyways and with that in combination looks like fun.
it’s very good!
I have problems with the sfz player in cantabile lite, well, i hope that the next version work fine, for me the best free sfz player (stability and cpu load) is Alchemy Player.
no doubt, Alchemy Player is also very good! my only gripe is that you also have to download the huge (although nice sounding) library in order to use it.
what issues do you have with Zampler, does it crash Cantabile Lite?
I think the same at beginning but the library of Alchemy is one of the best that i have play (is incredible that this is free), Beat Zampler not crash but when load a sfz in cantabile lite (that i use for test all vst) all samples sound for very short time (less than half second), my setup is xp64, cantabile lite and asio (audigy2). P.D: I am not have problems with other sfz players.
oh, that sucks. too bad, hopefully they fix it in an upcoming version.
just a thought – perhaps it’s not a bug, but it’s needed to tweak the Amp Envelope? i know i was surprised when i first loaded a SFZ file in Zampler, because the Release was set to 0. i then increased the value and everything worked well. the thing is that Zampler just loads the samples, without loading the envelope settings in the SFZ file.
yes, this setting fix this problem, now work fine, thanks, but i think that some sfz banks not load correctly how example salamander piano or bolder free toy piano that are my favorite piano sfz banks.
ahh, probably a bug then. there’s a lively discussion about Zampler on KVR, i think some people have reported similar issues, but i haven’t checked the thread recently.
we’ll see if Synapse Audio updates the plugin.
