Install S9 Sampler on Windows

Download the Windows installer from the S9 Sampler page, close your DAW and run it. It installs the VST3 into the standard Common Files VST3 folder. S9 Sampler opens inside your DAW on an instrument track. There is no separate app or shortcut.

The installer is unsigned, so Windows may show an unknown-publisher warning. Only run the file from the official S9 Sampler download.

For S9 Sampler 0.1.6 (paid beta).

    Save your session, close the DAW and click through Welcome, Licence, Install and Done.

  3. Scan and add it

  4. Start your trial

    Choose Activate / Try Free, sign in when asked, then load a short sample and play a note.

Good to know

If Windows blocks the installer

Check that it came from the official download. If a company security policy still blocks it, contact S9 support with the file name and your Windows version. Don’t turn off Windows security to get around it.

Use an instrument track

An audio track with a WAV on it doesn’t send notes to an instrument. Put S9 Sampler on an instrument track so MIDI can reach it.
