Less, but Better.

WE'RE NOT LIKE THE OTHER GUYS...

In our little shop you won't find massive orchestras, thousands of presets, or dozens of knobs to control. Our Kontakt instruments are crafted with one thought in mind: simplicity. This singular idea shapes our design. Our instruments have less features than the other guys, but more heart. Our bespoke instruments each feature a unique story and are custom-built for maximum impact in a small package. Are you ready to get back to why you write music in the first place? Let's get simple together.

Why Simplicity Matters

At Simple Samples Audio® we believe that simplicity is the key to creativity. When a simple virtual instrument excels at being easy to use and sounds amazing, it instantly fuels creativity and allows composers to write music without technology distractions. In the same way that the simple tools of pen and paper have guided music composers for centuries, we're here to provide a seamless writing experience.

FAIR MUSICIAN ROYALTIES

It's important to us that all musicians who contribute recordings to our virtual instruments are paid both for their recording time and royalties for every instrument sold. We pay fairly to ensure that musicians love working with us and they're proud of what we're sharing with the world.
