The best handpan samples for your project

What are handpan samples?

handpan samples are high-quality recordings of handpan hits, phrases, rolls, and resonant drones you can drop straight into a session as melodic or percussive building blocks. They’re all about that rounded attack and long, glassy sustain—perfect for ambient beds, cinematic cues, downtempo grooves, or left-field pop ear candy. Chop them, stretch them, layer them with pads, or tuck them behind drums for texture. With Co-Producer, you don’t have to dig for the right take—Co-Producer surfaces handpan samples that actually fit what your track’s doing.

It uses AI to analyze your audio, then recommends compatible, royalty-free handpan samples from Output’s library. Everything’s matched to your track’s key and tempo, so you’re not wasting time on pitch-warp weirdness or BPM math. You stay in the flow and keep writing.

What is Output Co-Producer?

Co-Producer is an AI plugin that listens to your track and recommends royalty-free, musician-made samples that match your key and tempo.

Once it’s on, you can pull handpan samples into whatever workflow you’re already using—audio tracks, samplers, or clip launching. No special routing, just press play and start auditioning.

How does Co-Producer work with various types of handpan samples?

Co-Producer analyzes your track’s harmony, rhythm, and overall complexity, then recommends handpan samples that won’t fight your chords or groove. If you’re in a sparse halftime pocket, it’ll lean into spacious drones and slow phrases; if your drums are busy, it can suggest tighter hits and simpler patterns. It doesn’t train on your audio—your track stays yours—and the handpan samples are handcrafted by sound designers, royalty-free, and matched to key and tempo. The goal is fewer mismatches and less tweaking just to make something sit.

Are these handpan samples free to access?

You can access handpan samples with unlimited use during the 7-day free trial. That’s enough time to actually test them in real sessions—different BPMs, different keys, different mixes. If it’s not fitting your workflow, you’ll know quickly. If it is, you’ll feel the time saved immediately.

What's included in Co-Producer apart from handpan samples?

Co-Producer connects you to the entire Output library, plus countless royalty-free samples from select partners like Zenhiser, Cinesamples, Black Octopus, and more. So if your handpan samples need support—subby one-shots, drums, textures, transitions, or ear candy—you’re not leaving the plugin to go folder-digging. Everything’s curated and recommended based on your track, then matched to key and tempo. It’s basically a fast lane to sounds that belong together.

Are these copyright and royalty free handpan samples?

Yes—handpan samples in Co-Producer are 100% royalty-free for commercial use. Drop them in singles, sync, client work, whatever. No clearance stress, no weird fine print. Just make the track.

Why does Co-Producer go on my master track?

Co-Producer sits on your master so it can hear the full mix—chords, bass movement, drum density, and arrangement energy. That context is how it recommends handpan samples that actually land in the pocket instead of clashing with your harmony. Put it on the master, hit play, and let it react to the real song. You can still drag everything out to individual tracks once you’ve picked your sounds.

How do I manage my Output plan when I sign up?

If you’re using Co-Producer mainly for handpan samples now and want to pivot later, you’re not locked in. Keep it simple and stay focused on the music.
