SampleBook is a community archive dedicated to documenting sample libraries and CD-ROMs from the 1980s, 90s and 2000s, the golden era of sample packs for AKAI, Roland, EMU and beyond.

The goal is to catalog these releases as thoroughly as possible: titles, labels, formats, cover art, and whether they are still commercially available. We host official demo recordings where they exist, as part of our preservation effort. All rights remain with their respective owners. If you are a rights holder and believe any content should be removed, please contact us and we will act promptly.
