Free Moody Sampler VST/AU Plugin By Soundslates

Free Moody Sampler VST/AU Plugin By Soundslates

Soundslates have introduced Moody Sampler, a freeware (with an optional premium subscription) sample player in VST/VST3/AU plugin formats for PC and Mac.

Moody Sampler is a freeware cloud based sample player which gives its users direct access to over 1,000 instrument patches that are stored in the cloud. The patches are downloaded with a single click in the instrument browser. It is also possible to rate the patches and to add any patch to your personal list of favorites. It’s important to note that only 200 patches can be downloaded with a free user account. A “Producer” subscription plan ($99 charged annually) will give you unlimited downloads.

What I found particularly interesting, though, is that Moody Sampler can also import local WAV/AIFF/MP3 files, as well as load SFZ patches. I’ve tested the plugin’s SFZ import capabilities and everything worked fine even with fully scripted SFZ patches such as Karoryfer’s awesome Weresax Saxophone.

Any loaded patch can be further tweaked with Moody Sampler’s amplitude and filter envelopes, as well as a set of rather decent sounding built-in effects. The plugin features five FX slots and seven different effects (analog filter, parametric EQ, delay, reverb, compressor, flanger and a saturator). The effects are far more advanced than I expected to see (I wish that the built-in compressor was available as a separate plugin as well) and relatively easy on the CPU. The CPU hit can get rather high, though, particularly when all five FX slots are active.

Moody Sampler’s built-in compressor is pretty rad.

So, is Moody Sampler a better freeware SFZ/WAV player than something like Zampler, Grace or sforzando? It’s a matter of taste, really. I’ll definitely stick to Zampler and Grace as my go-to SFZ players, however I’m sure that some users will find Moody Sampler a very good option for loading SFZ patches.

On the other hand, as a freeware (with optional upgrades) cloud based sound library and sample player, Moody Sampler is (to my knowledge, at least) the first of it’s kind. Cloud based virtual instruments certainly aren’t everyone’s cup of tea (there are many users out there who still prefer to keep their DAWs fully offline for security and privacy reasons, for example), however I have to admit that I find the concept intriguing. If I were a beginner producer with nothing but a small sample library on my hard drive, using a freeware virtual instrument that provides instant access to 200 sampled patches with a single click (and over 1,000 sampled instrument patches after the upgrade) would be rather tempting.

To download your free copy of Moody Sampler, you’ll need to register a Soundslates user account (valid email address required) and download their desktop client from the product page linked below. The provided installer will install both the desktop client and Moody Sampler. The plugin will be installed in the default VST plugin directory (there’s not way to change the installation path, which is somewhat annoying if you tend to keep all your plugins on a separate drive). Moody Sampler is activated by entering your username and password when loading it for the first time.

Moody Sampler is available for free download via Soundslates (72.5 MB download size, EXE installer, 32-bit & 64-bit VST/VST3/AU plugin format for Windows & Mac OS).
