Most FUN way to sample (software)

You can drag clips from he Session view straight into the Clips folder in your user library, and it creates a preview, and saves all fx.

This looks really cool, not specifically what i was after, but very cool.

I haven’t tried it to be honest. I just saw it and thought it might be relevant to this thread. I’ve been learning Max/Msp, and I’d like to build my own sampler, so I’ve been looking around at different M4L devices for ideas. This one is really polished and has a simple workflow it seems. Sampling in Ableton (Just recording a clip and dragging it into a Simpler) is also pretty simple and could be fun depending on what you want to sample I guess. There is also Granulator III, which I’m pretty sure samples.

I’m putting some Monark and Omnisphere patches onto the Montage at the moment, and the Akai MPC Beats software is working well. For instrument multi samples, it can specify note range and intervals, length and tail, and even set up loop points (though I prefer to do these myself).

For one shot drum and perc samples, I have a little secret: one of my travel essentials is one of the kids’ old android Amazon Fire tablets. MiccroUSB import a whole heap of longer sources and I use the free Caustic sample editor to cut ‘em, tidy them up and rename/organise. I’ve spent many hours sat on beaches doing that, it’s one of the boring admin jobs and travel lends itself perfectly to it.
