    Hypnotic Trapsoul is a sample library from Big Fish Audio that blends modern trap drums with smooth, soulful R&B melodies. It is built for producers making trapsoul, contemporary R&B and mellow hip-hop, and like other Big Fish Audio titles it is organised into construction kits so you can hear how the parts fit together and then rebuild them your own way. The Kontakt edition is designed to be played and shaped inside Native Instruments Kontakt on your Mac.

    Key Features

    • Construction kits combining trap drums with soulful melodic elements
    • Keys, pads, basses and vocal-style textures typical of the trapsoul sound
    • Formatted for use in Kontakt on Mac-based production systems
    • Tempo-labelled loops to make arranging and layering faster
    • A consistent, professionally recorded sound across all kits in the library

    FAQs

    Is this library royalty-free for my productions?

    Analog EDM is a sample library from Big Fish Audio aimed at electronic dance music producers who want the warmth of analog synths in modern EDM tracks. Big Fish Audio libraries are built around construction kits - grouped loops that work together as the starting point of a track - supplied in widely used loop formats so they can be dropped into most Mac DAWs and samplers. This listing covers the multi-format edition of the library for Mac-based production setups.

    Key Features

    • Construction kits that give you a complete track starting point, broken into individual loops
    • Analog-style synth lines, basses and drums suited to EDM production
    • Multi-format content that works with popular DAWs and loop tools on Mac
    • Tempo and key information included with loops to speed up arranging
    • Licensed for use in your own original music productions under the library's licence terms

    FAQs

    Do I need Kontakt to use this library?

    The multi-format edition is designed for general use in DAWs and loop players, so Kontakt is not the only option. Check the official product page for this title to confirm exactly which formats are included in the edition you buy.

    Can I use these samples in songs I release?

    Big Fish Audio libraries are generally licensed for use in your own music productions, but the samples themselves remain the property of Big Fish Audio and cannot be redistributed or used to build a competing sample library. Read the licence included with the product for the full terms.

    Mac Audio • Updated Nov 6, 2026

    Paravox is a vocal sample library from Bela D Media for Native Instruments Kontakt, built around a youth soprano voice with a soft, lyrical tone. It was designed with film, television and game composers in mind, especially for emotional, ethereal or slightly haunting cues. The library combines sustained sung vowels and elements with phrases, all controlled through Bela D Media's V Script system, which handles things like legato, sample offset and release in real time so lines feel sung rather than triggered, on your Mac-based DAW setup.

    Key Features

    • Youth soprano voice with a soft, lyrical character
    • Sustained vowels and elements such as Ah, Ee, Oh and Oo
    • V Script control for legato, attack, offset and release behaviour
    • Includes both Vocal Tools and Play style Kontakt instruments
    • Unlocked WAV files included, usable in other samplers and editors

    How to Download

    1. Install the full version of Native Instruments Kontakt on your Mac, since this library does not run in the free Player.
    2. Use the green Download button on this page to get Paravox, or visit the developer's website, Bela D Media, for the official store listing.
    3. Load the instruments in Kontakt, choose a vowel or phrase patch, and play your vocal line from your MIDI keyboard.

    System Requirements

    Paravox requires the full retail version of Kontakt (versions 4, 5 or 6 were listed for the original release) on a recent version of macOS, running inside a DAW or standalone. The library itself is small by modern standards, at only a few hundred megabytes.

    FAQs

    Does Paravox work in Kontakt Player?

    No. Like most Bela D Media libraries of its generation, Paravox needs the full version of Kontakt; the free Kontakt Player is not supported.

    What kind of music is it for?

    Its gentle, slightly eerie soprano tone suits film and game scores, ambient music and emotional cues more than pop vocals, and it is often used for horror and fantasy atmospheres.

    FAQs

    Do I need the full version of Kontakt?

    No. The Digital Grand is a licensed Kontakt Player library, so it also works in the free Kontakt Player, authorised through Native Access.

    Which piano was recorded?

    A C. Bechstein D 282 concert grand, recorded at Teldex studio in Berlin with several microphone setups, including a Mid/Side player perspective.

    beaTunes is a music library analysis and organisation app from tagtraum industries, built to work alongside Apple's Music app and iTunes libraries as well as folder-based collections. It analyses your songs for tempo, key, colour and loudness, then uses that information to fix inconsistent tags, find typos in artist and album names, and build playlists whose tracks genuinely fit together. DJs, runners and anyone with a large, messy library on their Mac will appreciate how much tidying it can do automatically.

    Key Features

    • Automatic BPM, key and loudness analysis of your whole library
    • Inspection tools that find typos, duplicates and inconsistent metadata
    • Playlist building based on tempo, key, mood and similar musical traits
    • Works with Music app and iTunes libraries or plain folders of files
    • Beatport integration and rule-based playlists for DJs and collectors

    How to Download

    1. Download the Mac version that matches your macOS release.
    2. Download from the official site and get the beaTunes installer from tagtraum industries.
    3. Install beaTunes, point it at your Music library or music folder, and let the first analysis run.

    System Requirements

    beaTunes 5 requires a recent version of macOS and works on Intel and Apple silicon Macs; older macOS releases may need an earlier beaTunes version, which tagtraum still provides. A Music app or iTunes library is optional, since folder-based libraries are also supported.

    FAQs

    Does beaTunes replace the Music app?

    No. It is a companion tool: it analyses and organises your library and creates playlists, while you still play and sync your music with Apple's apps or your usual player.

    Is there a free trial?

    Yes, tagtraum offers a trial version of beaTunes from the official site, so you can analyse part of your library before buying a licence.

    SampleX is the original vintage sampler emulation plugin from BeatSkillz. It recreates the signal path of classic hardware samplers, from their converters and preamps to their analogue and digital filters, so you can give clean modern recordings the character of machines like the Akai S900 and S950 or the E-mu SP series. By lowering the bit depth and sample rate and pushing the modelled input stage, you can add anything from gentle old-school warmth to full lo-fi crunch to drums, keys and vocals in your Mac DAW.

    Key Features

    • Models the converter, preamp and filter stages of vintage samplers
    • Bit depth shaping from clean down to gritty low-bit textures
    • Sample rate interpolation, adjustable from high rates down to 2 kHz
    • Presets matched to well-known hardware samplers to get you started
    • AU, VST and AAX plugin formats for Mac DAWs

    How to Download

    1. Confirm your DAW is a 64-bit host that supports AU, VST or AAX plugins.
    2. Download from the official site and download the Mac version of SampleX.
    3. Run the installer, rescan your plugins, and load SampleX on the track you want to colour.

    System Requirements

    SampleX runs on macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 or later according to BeatSkillz, in a 64-bit AU, VST or AAX host. Newer Macs and macOS versions should check the official product page for the latest compatibility notes before installing.

    FAQs

    Which samplers does SampleX emulate?

    Its presets and control ranges are matched to classic machines including Akai's S612, S900 and S950 and E-mu's SP-12 and SP-1200, and the controls let you design variations of your own.

    Is SampleX the same as SampleX V3?

    No. This listing covers the original SampleX release. SampleX V3 is a later, expanded version with extra sampler models and features, sold separately by BeatSkillz.

    Mac Audio • Updated Nov 6, 2026

    Slam2 is a channel-strip style plugin from BeatSkillz, designed to make individual tracks, buses and even full mixes sound bigger with very little effort. Behind its simple set of large controls sits a chain of EQ, sub enhancement, saturation, compression and stereo processing, all tuned to work together. Producers reach for it on drums, bass, vocals and synths when a sound feels thin, because a few turns of the Thump, Heat or Airz controls can add weight, punch and presence in seconds on a Mac DAW session.

    Key Features

    • Eight main controls covering EQ, low end, saturation, compression and width
    • Sub and thump shaping for stronger, cleaner bass and kick drums
    • Tube-style heat control for adding harmonic richness
    • Air control for high-frequency clarity and presence
    • Works on single tracks, group buses and the master bus

    How to Download

    1. Make sure your Mac runs a supported macOS version and a 64-bit DAW.
    2. Download from the official site and download the Mac installer or the free trial.
    3. Run the installer, rescan plugins in your DAW, and insert Slam2 on a track or bus to start shaping the sound.

    System Requirements

    Slam2 runs on a recent version of macOS on Apple silicon and Intel Macs, in a 64-bit host that supports VST3, AU or AAX plugins. BeatSkillz lists a small amount of free disk space for installation; confirm the exact macOS minimum on the official page.

    FAQs

    What is Slam2 used for?

    It is a quick mix enhancer. Instead of stacking several plugins, you use one interface to add low-end weight, saturation, compression and stereo width to a track or bus.

    Is there a trial version?

    Yes, BeatSkillz offers a time-limited, fully functional trial for Slam2, so you can test it on your own mixes before deciding to buy a licence.

    SampleX V3 is a vintage sampler emulation plugin from BeatSkillz, built for producers who want the gritty character of early digital samplers inside a modern DAW. Instead of recording through old hardware, you run clean audio through the plugin and dial in the sound of classic machines: lower bit depths, reduced sample rates and analogue-style filtering. It works on drums, melodies, vocals and full loops, and it is equally at home adding subtle warmth or completely transforming a sound into a crunchy lo-fi texture on your Mac.

    Key Features

    • Emulations and presets inspired by classic Akai and E-mu samplers
    • Adjustable bit depth, from clean settings down to crunchy low-bit sounds
    • Sample rate control that can sweep from high quality down to very low rates
    • Analogue-style ladder filter modelled on vintage sampler circuitry
    • Drive and mix controls for blending processed and dry audio

    How to Download

    1. Check that your Mac and DAW meet the requirements below, and that you use a 64-bit host.
    2. Download from the official site to get the Mac installer and any available trial.
    3. Install the AU, VST3 or AAX version, rescan plugins in your DAW, then load SampleX V3 on a track.

    System Requirements

    BeatSkillz lists SampleX for recent versions of macOS on Intel and Apple silicon Macs, running in a 64-bit AU, VST3 or AAX host such as Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Cubase or Pro Tools. Check the product page for the exact minimum macOS version before installing.

    FAQs

    Is SampleX V3 a sampler instrument?

    Not in the usual sense. It is an effect plugin that processes audio passing through it, giving existing sounds the colour and artefacts of vintage sampling hardware rather than playing back sample libraries.

    Can I try it before buying?

    BeatSkillz has offered trial versions for its plugins, so check the official product page for the current trial and licensing options before you buy.
