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!
