Tabla is a tactile, no-fuss 16-step drum machine for sketching beats, jamming, and prototyping grooves on the go. A clean grid, eight drum voices, and the controls you actually use — all on one stage. No accounts, no banners, no upsells. KEY FEATURES • 16-step grid with 8 drum tracks: Kick, Snare, Hat, Clap, Open Hat, Cowbell, Perc, Tom • Tap to toggle steps, long-press to add an accent • Six built-in presets: Boom Bap, Trap, House, Disco, Breakbeat, Bossa • BPM control from 60 to 200 with smooth tempo nudges • Swing slider from 50% to 75% for that human pocket • Per-track Mixer with volume, mute and solo on every voice • Save your own patterns and recall them in one tap • Mono synth-style sample engine — punchy, low-latency, no streaming DESIGNED FOR FLOW Whether you are roughing out a beat in a coffee shop, locking in a tempo before band practice, or laying down ideas on the train, Tabla stays out of the way and just keeps the grid alive. PRIVACY No tracking. No accounts. Your patterns live on your device.

Type what you want to do and get the steps, with the key commands. Seven major desktop DAWs are covered, and it all works offline, so you can ask mid-session without opening a browser. Fully on-device: no cloud, no account. Search by the job, not by the menu it hides under: set the project tempo, change the sample rate, add a tempo change at bar 57, rescan plug-ins. Each answer gives numbered steps and the shortcut if there is one. • How-to answers for routing, mixing, automation, MIDI and project setup • Ask in plain English; an on-device language model writes the answer • Search the reference by keyword when you already know the term • Two DAW libraries included from the start For producers and engineers who switch between DAWs, and for anyone moving to a new one. Pro, or SUS4 All-Access across the whole range, adds the libraries for the other five DAWs and removes the daily limit on questions. Made in the UK by working musicians. Pro is an optional auto-renewable monthly subscription. It renews until cancelled in your App Store account settings, at least 24 hours before the period ends.
