# Make a sampler from your samples
Source: https://docs.aden.space/docs/help/your-music/midi-editor/samplers

Turn a folder of samples, a Kontakt library's WAVs or an SFZ into a sound any MIDI on Aden can play.
A sampler plays MIDI on your own sounds. It stays in this browser, and nothing is uploaded.

## Make one [#make-one]

1. Open the sound picker next to any MIDI player and press **Load a sample folder**.
2. Pick a folder: a sample library, a Kontakt library's Samples folder, an SFZ instrument, or a pack of one shots.
3. Aden puts the samples on keys:
   * An SFZ file in the folder says where each sample goes.
   * A note in the file name, like "Piano\_C3\_mf.wav", puts it on that key. Keys in between play the nearest sample, pitched.
   * A folder with no notes in its names, like drum hits, becomes a kit: one sample per key from C2 up.
4. Press keys on the keyboard to hear it. Drop an audio file on a key to put it there, or pick a key to change or remove its sample.
5. Name it and press **Save**.

**Pitch between samples** turns the in between keys on or off.

## Change it later [#change-it-later]

Click the pencil next to the sampler in the sound picker. **Delete** in there removes it, with Undo.

## What it can't read [#what-it-cant-read]

Kontakt's own compressed samples and locked libraries can't be read in a browser. Use a library with WAV, AIFF, FLAC or MP3 samples, or an SFZ. Samples over 8 seconds are cut to 8.
