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 โ€ข Record anything โ€” your voice, an instrument, a record, a field recording, any sound around you. โ€ข Chop and slice โ€” trim on the waveform and drag the markers to where the hit actually starts. โ€ข 128 pads โ€” 16 per bank, eight banks from A to H. Switching banks never cuts off a sound that is still playing. โ€ข Step sequencer โ€” 16 tracks, 16 steps, with swing. Kicks, snares, hats and percussion, and a groove going in seconds. โ€ข Tune every pad โ€” pitch, fine tune, attack and envelope, per pad. โ€ข Play it live โ€” trigger with your fingers or from an external MIDI controller. โ€ข Bounce and export โ€” render a sequence to WAV, or export your pads as WAV with the pitch baked in. โ€ข Save your projects โ€” close the app, come back, pick up where you stopped. โ€ข Background audio โ€” 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 โ€ข Beatmakers โ€” build grooves from your own one-shots and loops. โ€ข Producers โ€” capture raw ideas anywhere and refine them later. โ€ข Sound designers โ€” record and reshape real-world audio. โ€ข Performers โ€” 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.
