## What is TAIL Sampler?

Record a sound. Chop it. Spread it across 128 pads and sequence it into a beat. All of it with no noticeable lag.

TAIL Sampler is a one-time purchase. No subscription, no ads, no account, no feature locked behind a second payment.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

  • Record anything — your voice, an instrument, a record, a field recording, any sound around you.
  • Chop and slice — trim on the waveform and drag the markers to where the hit actually starts.
  • 128 pads — 16 per bank, eight banks from A to H. Switching banks never cuts off a sound that is still playing.
  • Step sequencer — 16 tracks, 16 steps, with swing. Kicks, snares, hats and percussion, and a groove going in seconds.
  • Tune every pad — pitch, fine tune, attack and envelope, per pad.
  • Play it live — trigger with your fingers or from an external MIDI controller.
  • Bounce and export — render a sequence to WAV, or export your pads as WAV with the pitch baked in.
  • Save your projects — close the app, come back, pick up where you stopped.
  • Background audio — keep the sound running while you switch apps.

Built on a low-latency audio engine, and touch-first: not a desktop interface squeezed onto a small screen.

GET STARTED IN SECONDS

  1. Record or import a sound.
  2. Assign it to a pad.
  3. Play.

No project setup, no sign-in, no tutorial to sit through.

FOR EVERY KIND OF MAKER

  • Beatmakers — build grooves from your own one-shots and loops.
  • Producers — capture raw ideas anywhere and refine them later.
  • Sound designers — record and reshape real-world audio.
  • Performers — trigger samples live with MIDI.

Whether you are sketching on the train, capturing a field recording or playing live, TAIL keeps the workflow short so you stay in the idea.
