Buy Kit Maker 3 or Preset Maker
Kit Maker 3 turns your drum packs into kits. Preset Maker turns melodic multi-samples and one-shots into instrument presets. Each is a one-time purchase with its own license.
I’ve been building Kit Maker since 2019 and Preset Maker since 2021.

- Mac and Windows on one license, on up to two of your computers at once.

— Ave Mcree“A super easy way to convert the expansions.”

Building multi-sample instruments by hand is a pain, and hunting down one-shots one at a time is worse. Preset Maker does both from the packs you already own.
Instrument presets
Multi-samples with conventional note names get mapped across the keyboard. For MPC and Ableton, notes sampled at several velocities become real velocity layers.
One-shot presets
One-shots are grouped by category from your folder names, so a pack’s synths become one preset and its guitars another.
Formats
- MPC Keygroups, with audio previews
- Ableton Live 10, 11 and 12 (Sampler)
- FL Studio (DirectWave)
- BeatMaker
- Deluge
- SFZ
System requirements
- Mac
- Kit Maker 3: any Apple Silicon Mac (M1 or newer)
- Windows
- Windows 10 or 11
Kit Maker 3 doesn’t run on Intel Macs. If you already own Kit Maker 2 on an Intel Mac, it keeps working.
Preset Maker runs on Apple Silicon Macs and on Windows 10 and 11. An older version is still available for Intel Macs, but it isn’t updated anymore.

Before you buy
Does it work with my Maschine Expansions?
Yes. It reads the drum kits inside official Maschine Expansions (now called Native Instruments Expansions) and rebuilds them for whichever formats you pick. It rebuilds the kits, not the instrument presets, and third-party Maschine packs aren’t supported.
Do I need my own samples?
Yes. Neither app comes with samples. They copy and lay out the packs you already own.
Which one do I need?
Kit Maker 3 if you want drum kits on pads. Preset Maker if you want melodic instruments and one-shots you can play across a keyboard. They read the same packs, so one pack can feed both.
