sample pack

Miniature product assortment

A sample pack is a collection of audio files—drum hits, loops, melodic phrases, vocal snippets—sold or distributed for music producers to incorporate into their own work.

Sample packs are a cornerstone of electronic music production, offering ready-made sounds that can be layered, chopped, or manipulated: I found a great hi-hat in that lo-fi sample pack.

The term also applies to promotional collections of product samples in other industries.
