TYDE is the free sampler that plays the included programs. It is a separate download and is not inside a paid library ZIP. Get the latest TYDE sampler here, then add your library. The free-download email also provides Glass Particles as a separate library.

1. Download the library ZIP and extract it completely. Keep the library folder and everything inside it together.
2. Place that folder in Documents / TYDE Libraries, or beside your other TYDE libraries.
3. Open the latest TYDE sampler and click Refresh. If you use another location, choose the parent folder containing your libraries in Settings, then refresh.
4. Select a program from the library. The included installation PDF and keyboard map explain its sounds and playable keys.

Make sure you extracted the ZIP rather than opening a program from inside it. Keep the Samples and Presets folders with the library manifest; moving a program on its own breaks its sample paths. Point TYDE at the parent library folder, click Refresh and load the program again. If the download was interrupted, download a fresh ZIP.

Try the on-screen keyboard within the highlighted range. Some programs map a different sound to each key and leave the rest silent; check the included keyboard map. Hold the key long enough to hear a rise or sustained sound. In your DAW, check the track’s MIDI input, monitoring and audio output, and make sure the track and master are not muted.

The included WAVs work in compatible DAWs and samplers on any platform. The TYDE programs need TYDE, which is a free download for Windows 10 / 11 (64-bit) and macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel). Other samplers can load the WAVs but do not automatically reproduce the TYDE program settings.

After payment, use Get my downloads with the same email address you used at checkout. You do not need a password. Check your spam folder if the email is missing, and use the most recent sign-in link. If it has expired, request a new one.

If a completed purchase is missing, send me the product name, checkout email and order reference using the form.

Sample libraries do not need an activation key. Extract the files and load them in TYDE or use the WAVs directly. Software that needs a key, such as Themis Audio Player, includes it with your purchase details.

You receive individual downloads for the libraries named on the bundle page. Each library has its own ZIP and installation guide. TYDE remains a separate free download. Bundle membership is fixed; newer releases are included only if the offer explicitly lists them.

Wait for the download to finish before extracting it, and check that you have enough free space for both the ZIP and its extracted files. Large libraries can take a while. If the ZIP is incomplete, remove that incomplete copy and download it again from your purchases. Request a fresh sign-in link if access has expired.

Yes. The store’s Sample Library License permits personal and commercial music productions. Sample redistribution and resale are prohibited. Read the sample license for the full terms.

Themis is a standalone application for Windows 10 / 11 (64-bit) and macOS for comparing mixes; it does not run as a DAW plugin. Its product page covers features, formats and keyboard shortcuts. For an installation or activation problem, choose Themis in the contact form and describe what happens.
