“Samplea,” a sampler plugin developed by Cloudy Samples, is available as a free download for a limited time.
In this article, we cover the giveaway details and an overview of what Samplea can do, so read on if you are looking for a lightweight sampler to add to your setup.
What Is Cloudy Samples “Samplea”?
Samplea is a minimal, CPU-friendly sampler plugin designed around speed, accuracy, and a clean, uncluttered interface. It focuses on the essentials you actually need when working with samples: a Note Detect function that automatically identifies the pitch of a loaded sample, an X-Fade control that removes click noise to create seamless loops, and Glide for adding expression to leads and 808s. It also includes built-in EQ, saturation, and spatial effects, so you can finish your sound design inside this single plugin without reaching for anything else.
Key Features

- Dedicated Sample Range and Loop Range editors for precise control over the playback region
- X-Fade knob that accurately removes click noise, letting you build seamless infinite loops in an instant
- Glide (portamento): smooth, adjustable pitch transitions that add expression to leads and 808s

- Built-in parametric EQ with LPF/HPF
