Is Kit Maker legit?
Thanks for checking out my app. I’m Grayson Kilmer, I live in the US and have been developing it since 2019. Native Instruments wrote about it on their own blog in 2024, and it has been covered by Beat magazine and reviewed on YouTube by many producers over the years. It’s a $35 one-time purchase, there’s no account to make and no subscription to cancel, and every claim on this page has a link next to it.

“Not a bad overall idea or design, but missing very important features. Not sure what the point to recategorizing already categorized sample packs is, especially since it doesn’t seem like you can change the pad labels/assignments. No FL Studio export format is also a huge setback (its a very common DAW)”
-
“Works.”
-
“Perfect and easy! Paradoxically, I don´t like the Maschine workflow at all and prefer MPC or SP-404, but their sample libraries are sweet. Kit maker makes it easy!”
-
“Bit confusing on how to drop content to work on numbered kits BUT its super fast and is super necessary for content curation. Just wish it I could save Layouts.”
Replied: You can save your own layouts with the save icon 😎
-
“This program is unreal great updates, and also just simplicity for the user. If you want to get the heck away from one thing and just pour it into another this is the program to do it!”
-
“This is the truth!!!!!”

“This was a Godsend when I purchased it. But now I’ve switched PCs and can’t find my license?! This GUI is pretty dated and a pain to navigate. Just hoping I can get my darn license back and I’ll return to 5-stars.”
Replied: You can get your license at this page! https://www.kit-maker.com/my-license Sorry for the delay I just noticed this. Use the help form on the site if you still need help.

“Amazing”

“Another similarly Incredible Product that also definitely enhances the thrill of creativity. Being able to build market ready expansions and convert your investment into expansions and presets from another source using this product has been a truly exhilarating experience.”

“game changing, very useful tool for custom kits on my MPC”

“I just use Kit Maker 2.4 with Ableton Live 12.2 after getting a Push 3 to migrate about 12 years’ worth of 37 Maschine Expansions into Ableton Kits. I can’t recommend this enough, what a dream to be able to browse and load all of my NI Expansion kits on my Push 3.”

“It’s crazy I own chicken systems translator collection ( was like 600 ) and extreme sample converter and this one packs more punch than both.”
-
“Confirmed. This product works perfectly just as described. Install and convert, That’s it. Doing kits one by one would have taken me at least a year. Thank you for saving me so much time you guys!!”
-
“Most of the time these types of software are absolute garbage or, although functional, have a terrible UI experience. I just downloaded Kit Maker and it is a massive time saver and really easy to use. I know this sounds like I’m sponsored or something but I’m not, I just really appreciate it when people nail a utility like this so eloquently. Great Job!”
-
“Alllllllready done. This app is gold. Yeah, the kits are little different (obviously the fx don’t translate)”
-
“for those on the fence its totally worth it i made like 36 gb of kits in about one binding of isaac playthru”
-
“Been using kit maker for more than half a decade now.”
Producers using it in their own setups
Not reviews exactly. These are producers who picked Kit Maker up and showed it working on their own gear, which is usually more useful than a rating.

Preset Maker has its own reviews
Preset Maker is my other app, the one that builds melodic instrument presets rather than drum kits. It has 48 ratings at 4.6, kept the same way as this page.
