SampleHook vs CRATE

A pocket vocal sample lab for beatmakers. Hum, sing, or rap a rough idea. Pick a genre, a voice, a mood. SampleHook turns your guide into a polished AI vocal sample, ready to drop into your MPC, Maschine, or DAW. WHAT MAKES IT BUILT FOR PRODUCERS • Hum a melody, get a topline. The AI keeps your words and tightens the singing. • Rapped, sung, or ad-lib — pick the delivery that fits your beat. • Solo lead by default. Toggle Doubled or full Harmony stacks for depth. • Automatic key and BPM detection. Override with wheel pickers if the detector misses. • Trim handles, loop region, scrubbing playhead. Chop a 1-bar sample out of a 30-second take. • Pitch shift ±6 semitones and tempo 0.8x–1.2x on playback, no destructive edits. • Native iOS audio routing through USB-C, Bluetooth, or AirPlay — sample directly into your MPC. THE WORKFLOW 1. Tap record. Hum, sing, or rap 1–4 bars. 2. Pick a Genre (Hip-hop, R&B, Trap, Drill, Afrobeats, Gospel, Soul, House, Lo-fi), a Voice (Male tenor, Female alto, Male falsetto, Female falsetto, Choir, Baritone), and a Mood. 3. Review your transcribed lyrics. Edit any mis-heard words. 4. Wait ~90 seconds while SampleHook generates and isolates a clean vocal stem. 5. Drop the WAV into your beat. Whether you're cooking a Trap topline, an R&B hook, or a Drill verse, SampleHook gives you a usable sketch in under two minutes. No browsing sample packs. No booking session vocalists. Just your idea and a clean stem to chop.

CRATE is a sampler you talk to. Type or say a vibe — "dusty boom bap with rhodes", "NewJeans type beat", "dark plugg with bells" — and in a second the pads fill with drums, a chopped sample and a bass line, already playing. Then shape it the way producers do on an MPC or an SP-404, just faster. MAKE A BEAT IN SECONDS • Describe a beat and CRATE builds it from its sound library: drums, chops and bass in key. • Ask for changes in plain words — "add a sax line", "more hats", "punchier snare", "clear the bank". Only that part changes. • Drag a pad down and say what you want there. Swipe a pad left or right for another sound, up to remove it. PLAY IT LIKE A SAMPLER • 16 pads in four banks, a step sequencer and live recording that lands on the beat. • KEEP JAM saves what you just played over the loop. • Punch-in effects: hold FX and an effect pad, higher = more. • Sample from the mic straight onto a pad, or import a song and chop it into 16 pads. CHOP AND FLIP • Auto-chops land on real attacks, on the grid. • FLIP re-sequences the chops into something new while the drums keep playing. • Per-pad level, filter, attack, release, reverse, key shift and time stretch. FINISH THE SONG • Arrange intro, verse, hook and outro from your patterns, or let ARRANGE do it in one tap. • Change tempo, swing and key; export the song as audio to share. MADE FOR IPHONE DUO • On iPhone Duo the hinge is an effect: fold to build tension, snap open for the drop. The outer screen keeps the beat in view when it's folded. • Works great on iPhone and iPad too.
