## What is Orbit Sampler?

Orbit is a native iPad and iPhone live-performance sampler built for pads, grooves, and fast ideas.

Play a 4×4 pad grid with one-shot, gate, and loop modes. Build patterns on the step sequencer, trim samples on the waveform, shape sound with pitch, filter, and master FX, then record the mix or capture live takes straight to a pad.

Designed like booth hardware — LCD status, foldable racks, and a full-screen LIVE pads mode for performance — without copying any brand’s look or layout.
