Cinesamples is a Los Angeles–based developer of virtual instruments and orchestral sample libraries, founded in 2007 by composers Michael Patti and Michael Barry. The company got its start with CineHarps, a harp library the two funded themselves after finding existing options inadequate for their own scoring work. Many of its flagship products are recorded at high-profile Hollywood scoring stages, including the MGM Scoring Stage at Sony Pictures Studios and the Fox Newman Scoring Stage, which gives the libraries a cinematic, film-score character.

Its catalog spans strings, brass, woodwinds, percussion, keyboards, choir, and world instruments, aimed primarily at film, television, and video game composers. The CineSymphony series — which includes CineStrings, CineBrass, CineWinds, CinePerc, and CineHarps — forms the core orchestral collection, alongside smaller utility libraries like CineOrch and a range of artist and world-instrument titles. Most products are built for Native Instruments Kontakt.

The company also develops Musio, a standalone sampler plug-in that bundles the Cinesamples catalog into a single subscription- or license-based platform, consolidating a large portion of their instrument collections outside the Kontakt ecosystem.

Cinesamples has 47 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Kontakt Instrument and Virtual Instrument. Their gear is featured by 5 artists, with the strongest followings in Orchestra, Stage & Screen, and Electronic. Notable users include John Powell, Brian Tyler, and Trevor Morris. Cinesamples's catalog spans the full price spectrum — from entry-level options to high-end flagships.
