Sample Miner writes five formats natively. Each one lands somewhere slightly different, and the sampler on the other end has its own idea of where instruments live. One page per format, covering what the export actually contains and how the destination picks it up.
Instrument formats
- Logic EXS24 Logic's own format, written natively rather than converted
- SFZ Open text format, readable, plays almost anywhere
- Akai MPC Keygroup programs for MPC hardware, MPC Software and Force
- Decent Sampler Free player on macOS, Windows and iOS
- Yamaha MODX and Montage X7L libraries for the hardware
Hardware that reads plain WAV
Some samplers have no instrument format to export to. Getting samples onto one is a question of sample rate, bit depth and channel count, and each of these pages says what the machine needs and how the files reach it.
- Roland SP-404 MKII 48 kHz, 16 bit, over SD card
- Elektron Digitakt 48 kHz, 16 bit, mono, over Elektron Transfer
- Elektron Model:Samples 48 kHz, 16 bit, mono, over Elektron Transfer
- Dirtywave M8 44.1 kHz, 16 bit, over SD card
- Sonicware LIVEN Lofi-12 XT 24 kHz, 16 bit, mono, over SD card
- Teenage Engineering EP-133 K.O. II 46.875 kHz, 16 bit, over the sample tool
Converted formats
Five more are produced through ConvertWithMoss, which Sample Miner can download and set up for you: Reason NN-XT, Ableton Sampler, SoundFont 2, 1010music blackbox and Kontakt as an older .nki version. These have no guide of their own yet. What the files contain is in the format reference.
