TAIL Sampler vs Dawcade

TAIL Sampler turns your phone into a fast, hands-on sampler and beatmaking instrument. Record a sound, chop it, map it across pads and play it back instantly — no complicated setup, no lag. Built on a low-latency audio engine, TAIL Sampler is made for spontaneous ideas: capture a sample the moment inspiration hits and start playing straight away. WHY TAIL SAMPLER • Ultra-low latency — play in real time with a tight, responsive feel. • Record anything — sample your voice, an instrument, or any sound around you. • Play your way — trigger samples from the on-screen pads or an external MIDI controller. • Made for mobile — a clean, focused interface designed for one-handed, on-the-go creation. • Runs in the background — keep your sound playing while you switch apps. FOR EVERY KIND OF MAKER Whether you're sketching a beat on the train, capturing a field recording, or performing live, TAIL Sampler keeps the workflow simple so you can stay in the creative flow. • 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.

Dawcade is a complete music studio that fits in your pocket. Record, sequence, mix and arrange anywhere — everything runs on your device alone. No account, no subscription, no cloud, nothing to unlock. Buy it once and everything is there. TWO WAYS TO BUILD A TRACK Session view lets you launch clips and scenes freely while you find the arrangement by playing it. Arrangement view puts the same material on a timeline when you are ready to commit. Clips move between the two, so nothing has to be decided up front. INSTRUMENTS More than fifty instruments and effects ship with the app. Wavetable, virtual analog, FM, phase distortion, vector, spectral, supersaw, granular, physical modelling and chip synthesis all have purpose-built editors rather than a generic parameter list. Sampled acoustic instruments cover piano, electric piano, organ, guitar, bass, strings, brass and woodwinds. DRUMS AND SAMPLING A library of factory drum kits, each with per-pad tuning, envelope, filter, pan and send controls. The sampler loads your own audio, and the drum surface can be played as pads or programmed as a step sequencer. PLAY SURFACES Sixteen selectable play surfaces sit under the mixer instead of a single fixed keyboard. Alongside the piano keyboard there is a chord pad grid, a Tonnetz lattice, a circle of fifths, a strum surface, a fretboard, a bowed-string surface, an XY pad, and generative surfaces that keep playing while you shape them. Every surface follows the project key and scale, so wrong notes are opt-in. MIXING AND AUTOMATION Per-channel volume, pan, mute, solo and record arm, with return channels and sends. Twenty-four audio effects including compressor, multiband compressor, limiter, transient shaper, parametric EQ, reverb, plate reverb, delay, filter delay, grain delay, chorus, flanger, phaser, distortion, amp cabinet, bitcrusher, vocoder, resonator, frequency shifter, auto filter, beat repeat, gate, spectral and step effects. Any parameter can be automated on the timeline. MIDI AND GENERATORS Class-compliant USB and Bluetooth MIDI controllers are supported for input, and Dawcade sends MIDI back to control surfaces that have pad or key lighting. Insert an arpeggiator with classic, Markov and Euclidean generators, or a scale-quantiser, ahead of any instrument. RECORDING Record audio through the microphone or an audio interface, straight into a channel. Count-in, pre-roll and post-roll are configurable, and takes land as clips you can move, trim and reuse. PRIVACY Dawcade does not ask for an account and does not collect personal data. Crash and error reports are the only thing that leaves the device, they are not linked to your identity, and they are processed in the European Union. Your projects, recordings and samples stay on your device. Requires iOS 17 or later. Includes a demo project and a guided tour on first launch.
