## What is FlipDeck?

Record your cat, a sneeze, a sound from a TikTok. FlipDeck trims it, chops it and puts it on pads you can play like an instrument. Then it turns your performance into a video you can post.

MAKE A BEAT OUT OF ANYTHING
• Hold an empty pad to record from the mic. Eight effects (bass boost, fuzz, robot, octave up and down, and more) are recorded straight into the sample.
• Sample any video in your Photos, or import audio files.
• Chop a loop into slices automatically, or tap along to set the cuts.
• Split a song into drums, vocals, bass and other with on-device AI.

PLAY IT
• 64 pads in four banks, with volume, pitch, pan, envelopes, a 3-band EQ and choke groups on every pad.
• Keys mode plays any sound across a scale. Twelve scales, any root.
• A built-in synth with five waveforms, a resonant filter and envelopes. Every note is generated live.
• Note repeat and an arpeggiator, locked to the tempo.
• 16 touch FX strips for live performance: stutter, tape echo, filter sweeps, reverse and more.

SEQUENCE IT
• 32 patterns you can switch between on the beat or the bar.
• Record live, draw in a step grid, or write melodies in a full piano roll with velocity.
• Swing, probability, note length, tap tempo.

MIX IT
• Send pads to four buses, each with three effect slots: reverb, tempo-synced delay, filters, bitcrush, drive, compression and chorus.
• Load your AUv3 effect plugins right into FlipDeck.

SHARE IT
• One tap records your performance and renders a vertical video with the pads lighting up in time.
• Remix links: send a whole beat as a link. It opens on your friend's phone sounding exactly the same.
• Flip of the Day: everyone gets the same kit each day. Post yours with #FlipOfTheDay.

WORKS WITH YOUR SETUP
• USB, Bluetooth and network MIDI controllers.
• Use FlipDeck as an instrument plugin inside GarageBand, AUM, Cubasis and other hosts.
• Export WAVs, per-pad stems, MIDI files, or a complete Ableton Live bundle.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account, no ads, no tracking. Your recordings never leave your phone unless you share them.

FLIPDECK PRO (one-time purchase)
Mixer effects, AUv3 plugin hosting, Ableton and MIDI export, AI stem separation and videos without the watermark. Everything you need to make beats is free.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.0.1 — 2026-10-02

Stability update after a full code audit.

• Fixed: a pad played live while recording could go quiet on the next run of the loop.
• Fixed: resample, bounce and exports now keep each sound’s full release tail.
• Fixed: the Pro screen now opens from the menu.
• Fixed: opening a beat from a link keeps your unsaved work in My projects.
• Better recovery when another app interrupts audio, and when a plugin can’t load.
• Lower memory use after many edits and during AI stem separation.
• Accessibility: onboarding and the tempo sheet work at the largest text sizes.

### 1.0 — 2026-10-01

No release notes.
