SampleStack gives Mac users one app for cleaning up sample libraries and building multisampled instruments. It spots device layouts, checks audio specs, then batch-fixes format and naming issues before export. Pretty handy. Files can also carry tags, ratings, notes, BPM, key, categories, and validation status.
Pitch detection handles one-shot mapping across the keyboard, while SFZ and Decent Sampler projects can serve as starting material. Editing stays non-destructive, with waveform zoom, cues, transient detection, fades, slicing, cropping, and loop crossfades.
Export options cover SFZ, SoundFont 2, Decent Sampler, Ableton Sampler, disting EX/NT, and 1010music Bitbox. More than 40 hardware destinations are supported, among them Morphagene, Digitakt models, Octatrack MKII, MPC units, SP-404MKII, S2400, and Volca Sample. SampleStack requires macOS 15 Sequoia or newer. A seven-day trial is free, followed by either $24.99 yearly access or a $49.99 lifetime purchase.
