This is a list of the sample libraries that have been tested with Instrumap (as of v0.9.4). Some libraries are difficult/impossible to completely map as the information in the filenames or sample metadata (or both!) is wrong.
It is important to know that most sample libraries come with detailed programs for Ableton Live, Kontakt, EXS24, etc. Instrumap does not map that programming to keygroups - just the raw the samples. There is EXS24 support but that does not (yet) include panning, envelopers, fine tuning…
Working
These libraries have been tested and work well. There may be some small issues I didn’t notice in testing.

Contact me if there’s something you’d like that doesn’t work.
Limited Support
These libraries have been tested and work to some extent but with some issues. Many of these will be improved (if not fixed) in the future.
Native Instruments
- Chromatic Fire: Stylophone not processed
- Elastic Thump: some bass and plucked sounds incorrectly mapped
- Lone Forest: incorrect note mapping
- Maschine 2 Factory Library: this is a large library, much of it works very well but I’ve not tested everything yet so maybe some issues
- Platinum Bounce: some sounds incorrectly pitched
- Solar Breeze: issues with guitar sounds
- Rising Crescent: mostly good, not all pitches mapped correctly for all sounds, velocity inverted in some cases
Not Working
These libraries simply do not work well - Instrumap may produce keygroups but they’re likely of limited use.
Samples From Mars
- Micro From Mars: not properly detected (fix coming)
- Arp Omni From Mars: not properly detected (fix coming)
Puremagnetik
- PM-8910
- Phaseform Vol 2: note pitches are mapped incorrectly for most instruments (fix coming)
