Transform your Sample collection into Sample kits for your sampler!

Kit Creator is a program for Windows/Mac that automatically generates Sample Kits of 16 samples for MPC, Ableton Live, Speedrum, TAL-Drum and the free Sitala. You can drag & drop up to 16 Directories that contain samples and assign which Pads they can be used for. If a pad has more than one folder assigned one will be randomly selected. As well as randomizing samples, paramters can also be randomized with definable min/max ranges. currently Volume, Pan and Release Time are supported.
