Your sample library is a goldmine. Hidden inside those gigabytes—or terabytes—of folders are the perfect kick, the snare with the right amount of crack, and the hi-hat that will define your next groove. The problem? You can’t find them. You spend more time scrolling through endless, poorly named files than you do creating, killing your inspiration one folder at a time.
What if you could see all of your drum samples in one place, intelligently organized by character and timbre? What if a tool could not only find the sounds you need but also inspire combinations and rhythms you’d never imagine?
Meet Atlas 2, the revolutionary drum sampler that uses Artificial Intelligence to turn your chaotic sample library into your greatest creative asset. Atlas 2 listens to and analyzes every drum sound you own, creating a visual map that you can explore by ear. It’s time to stop managing files and rediscover the potential locked away on your hard drive.
“Atlas is an essential tool in my arsenal. Years in the biz have left me with terabytes of samples. I use Atlas to find forgotten gems in libraries I rarely touch. Honestly it’s a godsend!”

The AI Sample Map: Your Entire Drum Universe at a Glance
At the heart of Atlas 2 is the Sample Map. Forget navigating unwieldy file lists. Our groundbreaking AI scans your computer and organizes all your one-shot samples into a single, explorable map. Similar sounds are clustered together, allowing you to intuitively search by sound, not by name.
- See Your Sound: Instantly visualize your entire collection. The kick drums are here, the snares are over there, and all the weird percussion you forgot you had is just a click away.
- Instant Auditioning: Mouse over any point on the map to hear a sample. Click to add it to your drum kit. It’s that fast.
- Create Infinite Maps: Build different maps for different projects or genres. Point Atlas to your favorite folders or let it scan everything. It supports all major audio formats (WAV, AIFF, FLAC, MP3, and more).
Build Your Perfect Drum Kit in Seconds
Once you’re exploring the map, your next beat is just moments away. Atlas 2 features the fastest and most flexible drum kit creator on the market.
- Click & Create: Build your dream kit one sound at a time by picking from the map, or let Atlas instantly generate an inspiring kit for you.
- Powerful Sample Editing: Tweak your sounds to perfection with easily accessible controls for gain, shape, filter, and pitch. A powerful variation engine can humanize your playback for a less robotic feel.
- Collaborate with Confidence: Embed samples directly into your DAW project. When you share the session, the samples go with it. No more “missing sample files” errors for your collaborators.
- Match Your Hardware: Instantly change the pad layout (4×4, 8×8, 2×8, etc.) to match your hardware controller, from Maschine to the Launchpad.
The Sequencer That Sparks Inspiration
A great kit needs a great rhythm. The built-in sequencer in Atlas 2 is a creative powerhouse, merging the best parts of a step-sequencer and a piano roll to make beat creation fast, fun, and flexible.
- Craft Complex Rhythms, Easily: Mix and match step timings to create triplets and fast fills, or explore polyrhythms to build intricate, evolving patterns.
- Remix Your Rhythms: Drag and drop your existing MIDI patterns into Atlas and let its engine help you combine and modify them into fresh new ideas.
- Export Anything: When you’ve found a groove you love, simply drag and drop it into your DAW as a MIDI or Audio loop to continue arranging your track.
“I had the pleasure of seeing this where the magic happens… and I was sold from the first glance. I’ve used Atlas as a source of inspiration on many occasions and ended up using drum sample combos & loops that I would’ve never come up with otherwise.”
