I’ve been sharing my journey of music production with other people and the hardest part is not having a free sampler to recommend to users who don’t know if they want to pour money into music yet. This is absolutely a gem thank you so much for this!
I’ve seen many clown you online for your style in previous videos. Some would say, if you don’t like something, make your own. They are very quiet right now. Well done sir. ❤
YT is full of posers who actually do NOTHING but have an opinion,and complain..I want them all to grow up and STFU,wasting people's time..Of course they are quiet now,because they never were going to actually produce anything,,
You are 1000% right about not being able to control where to install plugins on the PC! The beauty and simplicity if a single vst3 is awesome. Also not duplicating your sample files is so nice. Adhering to the KISS principle. You did EVERYTHING right with this plugin! Kudos to you!
My 3rd visit to this channel. I'm a fan of open source. I'm a dark ambient analogue fan. I use the ever expanding ocean of old gear, hacking it, repurposing it. I don't feel the need to buy the latest amazing bells and whistles. I also struggle with complicated software, I just use Audacity to create edits then mix and master my analogue noodles. Thank you so much for this. I'll spread the word.
I’m sure you have heard this a lot since you released your sampler but congrats on building a really functional little sampler. It’s so convenient to use. Thanks for your hard work.
Be the change you want to see in the world, but most people will change themselves before they teach themselves coding! So impressive Michael, well done and thank you!
Your channel and a few others have really encouraged me to start working on my own audio software. So far I've made a multichannel midi step sequencer, and a non-stepped midi looper. So many available devices and plugins have weird limitations or design choices, feels good to finally be able to make (some) things from scratch.
Thank you Michael for putting all your hard work into making this super sampler free for us PC users and I loved the back story :-). I still have a lot to learn in using my DAW and prefer plugins like this - makes my music making much easier.
I don’t really have a need for this since my DAW has a couple great samplers built in, but I agree with every point you raised about how other software works. Also, I admire your passion to just go ahead and learn to code your own tool like that. Good job!
the YT algorithm recommended this video, and it is excellent -- I, too, think that apps that duplicate source files is DISGUSTING I prefer PC, but have iphone. It is asinine how apple designed their file system. Your Sample player looks awesome! Well done! And thank you for telling your opinion so clearly and forcefully. Amazing how a brand new programmer can develop a superior sampler. Bravo
You are the greatest example of someone solving (a) problem(s) which they have directly experienced firsthand. Also I love your clear and declarative video style. You are a joy to listen to. And YES YES YES, acquisition syndrome is such a real thing haha 😂
Thank you my friend for this amazing simple plugin - I am a guitarist and I get easily confused - almost as much as the bass player in my band - so your plugins are perfect for old fossils like me. ♥♥♥♥♥
Update: AASamplePlayer now already support for * iCloud files (no need to buy new devices just for storage "upgrade") * End point control * Loop * Super smooth pitch changing Mac & PC (free) playpm.gumroad.com/l/AASamplePlayer For iOS version, I also added sample batch load feature so you don't need to look back to the folder again, and now it's $2.99, free to upgrade if you already own it. iOS ($2.99) apps.apple.com/cn/app/aasampleplayer/id6443626189?l=en
Really cool sampler & concept 💪🏼 Totally worth spending a dollar or two! What do you think about a slicing option like in octatrack? Seems also like a simple but great implementation :)
I’ve been using it since you made this video. It’s perfect for drums and 808s. A awesome overall sampler. You did a great job man, you definitely deserve hella praise!
I love this! I’ve been looking for a tool to take long samples and chop them into smaller samples - analyze, scrub, mark, and save. This inspires me to write my own and gives me hope that someone will make one.
I am very impressed, sir. Most exceptionally impressed. The symbol is beautifully simple in keeping with the aesthetics of this design. Yet, when you revealed its origin in a Bruce Lee quote It was quite profound. Respect!
yes dude! your view on like the naming and other things is so great! Basic and at the same time genius. It is like you are using music production technics to program a plugin. And the hole not messing up your pc concept, I love it! Easy Sub, just because of the vision you have. It is insane how you are kind of the first one with this kind of approach
In just one video I have become your total fan. In many ways, your philosophy reminds me of my friend Phil Sudo, who wrote Zen Guitar - the most important guitar lesson I ever had that still teaches me to this day.
I feel your frustrations with the software managers and file management so much! Felt like a rally to action. The sampler seems so refreshing and thoughtless to use, and this I feel is so important for letting inspiration take its course. Can't wait to try it out :)
this is the first video in this genre not throwing overblown plugins with trashy animations and ripoff midi packs at me while not doint anything promised in the title. gave a sub keep it up!
A free and simple to use VST/Standalone sampler very similar to yours that I have used is called Sitala - It's really good for loading drum samples and making kits. I love your spirit. Keep up the good work!
Wow! Thanks for your inspiration. You truely bring some fresh air to this platform. You opened my eyes to not needing and wanting all that silly gear and useless plugins which just fill up my room and my harddrive.
At first I didn’t see why I would need this because I already do all these exact same things with what I have. But man just the experience of using it and the simplicity really has interested me to try it.
Loving your channel more and more. Great stuff. A couple of suggestions on the player. Label the dial, trim, attack, release, pitch etc. also provide values at least so you know where zero is. Give it a a loop function (not just one shot). Maybe also an ability to gain stage (increase/decrease volume) within the player so you can adjust if the sample is too loud or too soft when it is imported. Cheers.
Congrats on learning programming, and filling a gap in the free vst world. This is a lot like the sample editors in Tracker software, which I love, but I haven’t seen many VSTs that do this simply. Excited to try this out, and I expect it will be my main melodic sampler.
I don’t think I’ll use the iOS version, just the macOS version. Because I want to support you I just bought the iOS version, hope this helps! Massive kudos for your work 😍
This seems to me worthy of applause. Someone go to all that trouble just because they noticed a constant abuse or error in companies and got to work. I will do my best to spread this data, it is very good! 🔥🔥
Thank you so much for this. Your time and effort is greatly appreciated. I never got into sampling but will try yours. You truly are very generous for taking your precious time and doing this.
Just bought your sampler for iOS. Very excited as it now have loop function (great for synth, lead, ambients). Not pleased that Apple do not know (yeah, right) how to do currency conversion... they think that 1 USD is 6PLN (polish currency) when, in fact it is 4.4PLN. Apple is on straight road from "love brand" to "hate brand". Your channel is great motivation and inspiration, thx!
Michael, thanks very much. This is excellent. Your channel is outstanding, as are all your videos. 9:07-9:32 is hilarious, and I agree completely. "As. It. Was." 😺
Just to let you know that I bought your app for iOS and it rocks! I pair it with a midi AuV3 progressions and it’s so fun. I get some crazy unique sounds that I struggle to come up with before. I haven’t tried for pc and Mac yet because my workflow is different on software but I plan to down the road.
you sir are truly a breath of fresh air. all praise to you.
You continue to sell the healthiest approach to music I have ever seen. I'm so glad your back.
I’ve been sharing my journey of music production with other people and the hardest part is not having a free sampler to recommend to users who don’t know if they want to pour money into music yet. This is absolutely a gem thank you so much for this!
Glad I helped, that's exactly what I want to do!
I’ve seen many clown you online for your style in previous videos. Some would say, if you don’t like something, make your own.
They are very quiet right now.
Well done sir. ❤
And I will also reveal how bad works their favorite companies did.
Its amazing how much people complain and how little they actually DO.

I can see you good and honest. A scholar and gentleman. You speak openly and contribute. Best regards.

So many available devices and plugins have weird limitations or design choices, feels good to finally be able to make (some) things from scratch.
I'd be very interested in your midi looper, if you have or will publish it
I find your software philosophy very refreshing, and I share your views on this. A reverb plugin does not need a spell checker.

Is your daw fl studio?
It's perfect for me using Reaper!
The best knowledgeable advice and reviews on youtube.. in my opinion.
I love that I'm not the only one who has these pet peeves, so obviously this player/plugin is exciting for me.
Glad that I'm not alone too 😤
8:28 Clean and tremendous. Very kind, thank you beautiful being.

The best GAS therapy is developing your own plugins.

How do i find the Download for mac button??
After the purchase you'll got all the versions, then choose the one you need.

Your channel is very helpful for many people. I'm grateful for the work you do 👍
I love how clean and efficient this plug in is!
YOU ARE MY HERO, I HAVE SYNTHS UP THE YANG and i love innovation/plug ins. love it love it. RESPECT
Thanks a lot Michael, I won AASampler iOS a couple of weeks ago on a giveaway, and it’s amazing!
Love this plugin and I was so stoked to see Bruce Lee inspired it. One of my favorite quotes!
I’ve been using it since you made this video. It’s perfect for drums and 808s. A awesome overall sampler. You did a great job man, you definitely deserve hella praise!
Appreciated, new updates are coming, stay tuned~
This is awesome
I really like how you were calling other samplers disgusting and nasty because the way they operate
Thanks for the hard work dude
I just love your philosophy and not enough people complain about them. Uninstalling software by hand... that's so painful and annoying. Thanks.
You're quickly becoming my favorite UA-camr man, seriously walking the walk with this one!
I love this! I’ve been looking for a tool to take long samples and chop them into smaller samples - analyze, scrub, mark, and save. This inspires me to write my own and gives me hope that someone will make one.

WOwww my respect to you. Thanks for share an alternative vision about apps and music gear.
Congratulations. I like your clean, light and functional approach as a design criterion. Thank you.
Thanks! Keep up the great work! 👌

Let's go! "If it doesn't exist, then I'll make it myself!" is my favorite mindset!
I really love your attitude. You found a problem, and made a solution. You managed to flow around all the rocks in your way.. excellent.
In just one video I have become your total fan. In many ways, your philosophy reminds me of my friend Phil Sudo, who wrote Zen Guitar - the most important guitar lesson I ever had that still teaches me to this day.
Appreciated! I'll dig your friend's book later~
Love the simplicity.
I was wondering where you went. Now I know you needed to level up just for us. Thank you Playpm.
I feel your frustrations with the software managers and file management so much! Felt like a rally to action. The sampler seems so refreshing and thoughtless to use, and this I feel is so important for letting inspiration take its course. Can't wait to try it out :)
Incredible work Michael!
Wow! Appreciated the comment and your work!!! Have fun with it~
this is the first video in this genre not throwing overblown plugins with trashy animations and ripoff midi packs at me while not doint anything promised in the title.

keep it up!
This one will force you to level up your production for true 😉
A free and simple to use VST/Standalone sampler very similar to yours that I have used is called Sitala - It's really good for loading drum samples and making kits. I love your spirit. Keep up the good work!
Love it! This was clearly the next step in your journey, and way to go! Especially the Bruce Lee inspiration, the sampler is the water, yes! 🎉❤
Wow! Thanks for your inspiration. You truely bring some fresh air to this platform. You opened my eyes to not needing and wanting all that silly gear and useless plugins which just fill up my room and my harddrive.
Appreciated master.
At first I didn’t see why I would need this because I already do all these exact same things with what I have. But man just the experience of using it and the simplicity really has interested me to try it.
I design it as this for a reason 😉
This is perfect, nice work! Reminds me of Easy Sampler which I used to use on old macs. So easy to make great music from a simple audio file!
It’s very useful. I use it most of the time now in Cubasis. It’s straight and to the point. Thank you. I have the iOS version.
Loving your channel more and more. Great stuff. A couple of suggestions on the player. Label the dial, trim, attack, release, pitch etc. also provide values at least so you know where zero is.

I want to suggest: choose endpoint, loop sample, text on buttons.
this is the best channel ever
I love this man, just humble as can be. Thank you for everything you’re doing and will do!!❤
Appreciated, new strike's out, stay notified 🎸
The first step is admitting. I'm starting to face it. Well done on this man!
Congrats on learning programming, and filling a gap in the free vst world. This is a lot like the sample editors in Tracker software, which I love, but I haven’t seen many VSTs that do this simply. Excited to try this out, and I expect it will be my main melodic sampler.

Thrilled to give this a go! Thank you for applying your philosophy into a concrete solution. That's how all the best ideas start.
So yeah, I love you! Thank youuuuuuuuuuu!
i really love your sampler ... incredibly simple but simply incredible ...thanks from Italy
Glad you love it, soon it'll get a huge update, which will be extremely efficient and change your workflow forever, stay tuned ;)
This is the perfect example of "If you want a job done properly, do it yourself"
Congratulations Michael! Good luck!
Just brilliant! That's how it should always be.
Great! I got my IOS copy just now, thank you for your effort. Simple and clean just as he says.
You are the chosen one, keep it going!

Perfect one with a complete step by step details u had shown.. thx u !!!
His face when he is disgusted is awesome lol 4:06 and I agree with how clean installations should be
This is my dream sampler plug-in.
All you said is really annoyed me,too. Thank you for your work.
Just bought! Checking it out now. Thank you.
I will most likely only use the desktop version but bought the app just for support. Really dig the philosophy 👍
Michael, you are an absolute legend!
Appreciated, but I won't stop here, let's get more legendary 🥂
Shout out for the Bruce Lee inspired logo. That water philosophy is applicable to so many things 🙌🏼
You make me hopeful for the future of the earth. Thank you sir.
" Be water my friend". " A sample player is the water" and the creater is the friend.
Wow, it's simple and clean and does its job. I love the commitment to minimalism and essential functioning. Please, keep it up!

Wow awesome sampler, great of you to share it this way
I've also been thinking of developing my own apps. So I find your video really inspiring!
I love this! The thought process behind this whole sample player! It’s awesome and I can’t wait to see what other plugins you decide to create 🙌🏿
My Brother you are the Truth,Thanx alot for sharing your Vst with us! RESPECT!!!
I’ve been looking for a simple but solid plugin sampler for a while, thank you so much for sharing this!!!!
All of your observations and gripes about so many plug-ins I agree with. Good job.
