CACHE vs Tapko Stomp

CACHE is a fast and simple sample browser for iPhone, iPad, and AUv3 hosts. It lets you open your own sample folders, browse collections instantly, preview audio files, detect sample key, and drag sounds straight into compatible apps and hosts. Built for producers who work across iOS and iPadOS, CACHE solves a problem that has been strangely overlooked for years: some DAWs and AUv3 hosts still don’t include a proper sample browser. Until now, that often meant digging through Files, switching between apps, and dragging samples in from outside your music workflow. CACHE puts that missing browser exactly where you need it. Use CACHE to: Browse your own sample folders and subfolders Preview one-shots and loops quickly Detect likely sample key for one-shots Drag samples directly into compatible DAWs, hosts, and apps Access collections from local storage, cloud locations, or external drives CACHE does not include any samples and does not make sound on its own beyond sample preview. You must supply your own sample folders. CACHE also does not copy or store your samples internally. It simply bookmarks and browses the folders you choose, so it won’t take up extra storage space with duplicate sample libraries. That makes it especially useful if your sounds live on external storage or outside the app itself.

Tapko Stomp is an AUv3 audio-to-MIDI trigger for live performance. It listens to your incoming audio, learns what your hits sound like, and turns them into MIDI notes or CC with velocity. It's tailored towards live loopers, but works for anyone who wants to play MIDI from any audio source: a stomp box, a guitar body, a cajón or a drum. Tapko Stomp is actively developed, with continuous refinements and new features inspired by real musicians. Built for fast setup on stage: - Insert Tapko Stomp on an audio track - Route its MIDI to your sampler or drum app - Tap Learn and play a few hits, soft to hard - Play, and only your real hits send notes Features - AUv3 effect with MIDI output - Two triggers, A and B, that each learn their own sound and send their own note or CC - Guided setup in three steps per trigger: teach it your sound, set how easily it fires, choose what it sends - Learn sets the background level, frequency range and velocity range from your own playing - Hit Match ignores sounds that don't resemble your learned hits - Ring Guard and Retrigger Guard so one hit sends one note - Ignore Sounds (Beta): teach it chords and notes that must never trigger - Low Latency mode for sharp, fast attacks - Velocity shaping per trigger: feel, floor, ceiling and boost - Send a MIDI note or CC, on any channel, per trigger - Send Test button to check your routing without a real hit - Live hit lamp with velocity readout, input meter and background level - Help on every control - AU preset support in supported hosts Great For - Live stomp and percussion triggering in a looper - Playing drum samples from a guitar body - Layering one-shots on live drum sources - Compact iOS and iPadOS live rigs Use Tapko Stomp in AUv3-compatible hosts such as AUM, Loopy Pro, Cubasis and other iOS DAWs that support AUv3 MIDI routing.
