Maniac Player

Maniac Player
A sample library player for loading and playing multi-sampled instruments inside your DAW. Load any Maniac Player library, play it from the rack, and stream large instruments straight from disk. With Maniac Creator you can also build, sign and export your own libraries.

LIBRARIES — Point the Player to your libraries folder and every installed library appears with its instruments.
INSTRUMENTS — Double-click any instrument to load it into the rack.

Rack
SLOTS — Load instruments into the rack and play them side by side.
Instrument info — Each slot shows zones, groups, samples, memory use and playable range.
KEYSWITCHES — Articulation keyswitches are labelled on the slot and marked in red on the keyboard.
Keyboard — Built-in keyboard shows the playable range of the loaded instrument.

Engine
Disk streaming — A short RAM preload plus background streaming, so big libraries load fast and use little memory.
Velocity layers & round robin — Natural dynamics and no machine-gun repeats.
Release triggers & loops — Sustained notes loop for as long as you hold the key.
High-quality interpolation — Clean pitch shifting across the whole range.
SFZ & WAV — Load SFZ instruments and single WAV files directly.

Maniac Creator (Edit Mode)
AUTO-MAPPING — Drag in WAV files and they are mapped automatically by note, velocity layer, round robin and articulation, with pitch detection as a fallback.
MAPPING GRID — Move and resize zones, multi-select and nudge from the keyboard.
WAVEFORM — Set loop points with draggable markers, with automatic zero-crossing loop finding.
UNDO / REDO — Every edit can be undone, and you hear changes live without dropouts.
EXPORT — Save as a Maniac Player library (.mlib) and sign it with your creator license.
Maniac Creator is a one-time unlock for unlimited libraries, on up to 3 computers.
