A song using this sampler and 8 EDO scale. Note: microtonal music can take a few hours of listening to sound “right” lol. But this is one of many scales in this software:

Other VSTs we make, including some microtonal<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Simple Microtonal Sampler is the ONLY microtonal Windows sampler. And it’s free.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Includes 8 presets (including 2 in 12 TET, standard western common tuning, for comparison), two samples, and 5376 microtonal tunings. You can add your own WAV samples too.
\nThe audio file above<\/a> is a quick test I did with the two included samples, 31 TET temperament, and some drums.<\/p>\n

The vocal sample is a male human saying “Intergalactic Gas” . The music sample is an A-440 sine wave.<\/p>\n

Tested with 16-bit and 24-bit WAVs, both mono and stereo.<\/p>\n

But of course, you can use your own samples. That’s the whole poin<\/strong>t!<\/p>\n

Any WAV can be imported into the<\/p>\n

\/samples<\/strong><\/p>\n

subfolder.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Tune Rough and Tune Fine sliders allow you to change the base note of a sample. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The default is zero in the middle. You can go above this or below this. <\/strong><\/p>\n

To return to zero, either type 0 in the box and hit enter, or you can move the sliders more slowly by holding down CTRL and moving the slider.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Or you can go above the presets and hit “Reset to factory default”, though this will reset everything<\/em>. <\/strong><\/p>\n

You’ll have to use the picker to find the tunings file inside the VST file on your hard drive.<\/p>\n

IF YOU EVER GET AN ERROR<\/strong> where you can’t close and\/or use anything on the synth, it has not crashed,<\/strong> it is just looking in the wrong folder. This happens usually if you rename a file path that includes the VST. If this happens just look for the “MidiPlayer2” error message in your system tray, click on OK, and close it.<\/p>\n
