Decent Sampler
AUv3 & Standalone App
Free · In-App Purchases
Did you ever wish you could use professional quality sample libraries on your mobile device? Now you can! The Decent Samples plugin is a sample player that allows you to use your favorite Decent Samples sample libraries on the go (as well as SFZs). Many of the most popular Decent Samples releases are available through the app with more being added every week.
