17hex has released Arachnid, a freeware 8 channel stereo drum sampler VSTi plug-in for Windows PC.
Why another drum plugin? Because the only ones I could find that had the features I wanted cost hundreds of dollars, and I think you should be able to get a Drum Sampler with envelopes, filters and loop/reverse for free!
Arachnid features
- 8 channel stereo drum sampler
- Sample loop & reverse, sample position, start & end controls
- Pitch for each sample
- Multi-mode filter (LP/HP/BP/BR) with ADSR envelope
- ADSR envelope (amp)
- Panning and level controls
- Assignable outputs
Both the VST instrument and SynthEdit source files are available for download.

This seems to be rather elegant in its design.
It has quite a few features in a small amount of space. Can’t wait to take it for a spin!
