About FrozenPlain
FrozenPlain is an independent UK sample library company, founded by Sam Windell in 2013. We make virtual instruments for musicians and sound designers.
Real-world character, unbound possibilities.
Our instruments pair detailed acoustic, organic and synthetic sounds with versatile features that let you transform them, taking them beyond their natural boundaries. We're drawn to sounds off the beaten track.
We love the craft of music software, and put that into instruments that are simple to use, fast, effective and modern.

“Uncluttered and let you focus on what’s being made rather than menu diving.”
“Sam was incredibly helpful and responsive when I had an issue.”
