      DROP has a simple drag n drop synth engine that contains a sample layer and a granular layer. Presets have 2 Layers and you can load patches in up to 16 slots that can be used multi-timbral or layered by assigning patches to the same midi channel. The main concept behind its design is to provide you with a “Main Page” that provides all the functionality you would reach for during composing or performing.
      Requires HALion Sonic SE 3.1.15 FREE,

        This has been out for around a decade and has been on our list of best free sample libraries since the site launch — and at Cakewalk Forums before that. I really like this developer and I’d recommend picking up all of their freebies. REVOLUTION-CRE8 LITE, which has reverse samples, is my favorite. But this isn’t a sampler, it’s a sample library with a granular synth engine that uses the free sample player, Halion Sonic SE. From the linked page:

        “DROP is our first FREE complete instrument in a series of instruments that utilizes our simple and intuitive CRE8 Engine powered by Steinberg’s FREE Halion Sonic SE platform.

        Intuitive and flexible with the focus on quick and easy workflow is the concept behind our CRE8 Engine. DROP has a simple drag n drop synth engine that contains a sample layer and a granular layer. Presets have 2 Layers and you can load patches in up to 16 slots that can be used multi-timbral or layered by assigning patches to the same midi channel. The main concept behind its design is to provide you with a “Main Page” that provides all the functionality you would reach for during composing or performing.  Of course there is an incredible amount of functionality and sound design capabilities contained in the additional pages we provide all with the same concept of being simple and intuitive.”

        This page has all of their free sample libraries, which again, are included on LinkedMusicians list of Best Free Sample Libraries for Free Players:
