Dig through your own crates
Cr8te reads your whole sample library — 131,000 items is a normal Tuesday — and gives you faceted browsing, real duplicate detection, project↔sample inference and a kit builder. Detect duplicates and leverage your file system's hard-link feature to remove them by creating hard links, reclaiming space without breaking existing projects.
Free download — no purchase needed
Organising, tagging, de-duplicating and kit-building your sample folders works without a licence and without a DAW. Connectors are optional paid add-ons for when you want Cr8te to write straight back into your DAW.
Every screen, with what it does. Click a shot to see it full size.
Faceted filters, waveform preview and a full metadata panel across 131,000 items.
Bar-grid and transient slicing — send slices straight to a kit or a collection.
Where your metadata is: tag coverage, duplicate groups and reclaimable space.
Byte-verified duplicate groups replaced with hard links, so every path keeps working.
Detected roles mapped onto 128 pads. Export the preset or build the folder.
Tags are written into the file itself, not just into an index that can go stale.
Which samples your projects actually reach for, inferred from project folders.
Browser, kits and pads side by side while you dig.
Optional: connectors for your DAW
Ableton Live is now shipping, alongside Cubase and FL Studio.
One-time purchase. Perpetual licence for Cr8te 1.x, 12 months of updates, 3 machines. Add more connectors later to the same key.
Facets for source, media type, category and tag state. Exclusions that stick. A detail panel and waveform on every row, so you hear before you decide.
Cr8te's Health view shows attribute coverage across your library — for example, how your own tagging compares to factory content — so you know where the gaps are before you start filling them.
Detected roles from filename and folder, 16 pads, alphabetical order that matches pad order. Export the preset for your DAW's sampler or drag the built folder straight onto the pads.
Download Cr8te free. No account, no purchase, no DAW required.
