What’s new
Version 2.0.15 · Updated October 17, 2026
- Automation for bus effects and mixer channels - New "Same pad mapping for all banks" option in MIDI settings - map the 16 pads once and the selected bank decides which pads your notes play. - MIDI map mode can now be toggled from the QWERTY keyboard (default key `;`) or from a mapped MIDI control - Looper recording (swipe down on a pad) now starts and stops cleanly on the bar line, including when you stop just after the bar
User reviews
Absolutely superb! Out of this world! Very surprised at how good a sampling app can be. Just made a track with it. The FX alone are worth it!
Super intuitive, simple, powerful, and fun. Love this app and can't recommend it highly enough.
Love this app so far. Lots of possibilities in my pocket
Amazing app, it basically replaces the sp404, also the dev added choke groups and multitrx export! The support is amazing, I reported a bug and the guys got back to me in 15 min on a Sunday. Amazing!
This app makes me excited to make music in a way I have not felt in a long time of using traditional DAWs. It makes me think in a different way. I really hope the developer keeps it updated for Android. Yes, iOS is where all the music production apps are but I don't want to go there.
App is great but I really miss a handsfree recording mode. Edit 01: Great, I thought it was odd for it to be missing,turns out it wasn't missing at all!
