What it does

Zero guesswork. One instrument.

SampleArchitect guides you from raw recordings to a finished Kontakt instrument with a simple, focused workflow.

Guided Recording Plan

Tells you exactly which notes to record, at which velocities, with a downloadable folder structure and naming convention. No guesswork.

Auto Sample Mapping

Drag in your folder. Every correctly named file is instantly parsed, pitch-detected, and mapped to the right MIDI key with velocity layers.

One-Click KSP Export

Generates a complete Kontakt script with mapped zones, velocity splits, round robin cycling, UI knobs, and an effects chain. Ready to paste and play.

The SampleArchitect Way

Record. Import. Export. Play.

All scripting handled. All mapping automatic. All yours.

1

Record your samples

Follow the guided recording plan. Name your files with the simple convention. SampleArchitect even generates a downloadable folder template so you know exactly what to record before you start.

2

Drag in your folder

Drop your samples folder into SampleArchitect. Every file is instantly parsed, validated, and mapped to the correct MIDI note, velocity layer, and round robin group. See the full keyboard map light up in real time.

3

Configure your controls

Toggle on the knobs you want — Volume, Attack, Release, Filter, Reverb — and preview exactly how your instrument will look and behave in Kontakt. No scripting, just switches.

4

Export and play

One click generates a complete KSP script, organized sample folders, and a step-by-step loading guide. Open Kontakt, paste the script, and your instrument is ready to record with.

The Convention

One naming pattern.
Everything else is automatic.

Name your files. SampleArchitect handles the rest — parsing, mapping, velocity splits, round robin grouping, and KSP generation. All from the filename.

filename convention
// Pattern [Instrument]_[Articulation]_[Note][Octave]_v[Velocity]_rr[RoundRobin].wav // Examples Kantele_Plucked_C3_v1_rr1.wav Kantele_Plucked_C3_v2_rr1.wav ← second velocity layer Kantele_Plucked_C3_v1_rr2.wav ← second round robin Kantele_Strummed_E4_v1_rr1.wav ← different articulation Piano_Sustain_Bb2_v3_rr2.wav ← flats use 'b', sharps use 's'

Questions

Frequently asked

Which version of Kontakt do I need?
SampleArchitect generates scripts compatible with Kontakt 6 and newer, including Kontakt 7. The free Kontakt Player is not supported — you need the full version of Kontakt.
Do my samples leave my computer?
Never. SampleArchitect is a desktop app. All processing happens locally on your machine. No cloud, no uploads, no accounts. Your samples stay yours.
What sample format does it accept?
WAV files at any sample rate and bit depth. 44.1kHz / 24-bit is the recommended minimum for quality Kontakt instruments.
Do I need to know KSP scripting?
No. That's the whole point. SampleArchitect generates the complete KSP script for you — zone mapping, velocity layers, round robin cycling, UI controls, and effects chain. You just paste it into Kontakt.
What about Decent Sampler, SFZ, or other formats?
Decent Sampler export is coming in a future update. The initial release focuses on Kontakt, which is the industry standard for professional sample libraries. All future format exports will be free updates.
Is there a subscription?
No. $99 once, yours forever. All future updates are included. We don't do subscriptions for creative tools — you bought it, you own it.
