Where these prices come from
Sample packs aren’t in the Thomann catalogue, so the AudioFu Index — demand on Reverb, lineup and price history at Thomann — doesn’t rate them. They’re ranked by how fully the store describes each sample pack — formats, contents and tempo and a full description — one maker at a time: every maker’s best entry first, then every maker’s second. Names, descriptions and prices here come from Loopmasters, checked on Nov 9, 2026. Prices and sales change often: follow the link for today’s price.
