Browse by Category

Cinematic FX: Our specialized library with foley and sound effects for film

Genres: Browse by genre category, such as trap, hip-hop, house, etc.

Labels: Browse by sample provider, such as Capsun ProAudio, Sample Magic, etc.

Presets: Browse presets by plugin; we offer presets for Serum/Serum 2, Sylenth1, Massive, Spire, Phase Plant, and Vital, as well as Splice's first-party Astra and Beatmaker plugins.

Searching and Filtering

Use the search bar to search using keywords, genre/instrument tags, or filenames. Use the filters to narrow down your search:

Samples/Presets: Filter by samples only (wav files) or presets only (files specifically for software instruments such as Serum, Massive, etc).

Sort Order: By default, search results are sorted by popularity-- you can change the sort order to recent, relevant or random.

Loops & One-Shots: Filter by loops (longer loopable phrases) or one-shots (short samples played only once).

BPM: Set a specific tempo range, or find loops with an exact BPM match.

Key: Filter by key center (such as C, G#, etc) and/or quality (major or minor).

Instruments: Filter by instrument type (such as drums, keys, bass, etc).

Genres: Filter by genre type (such as trap, hip-hop, techno, etc).
