About TAIL Sampler: Pads & Sequencer
Record a sound. Chop it. Spread it across 128 pads and sequence it into a beat. All of it with no noticeable lag. TAIL Sampler is a one-time purchase. No subscription, no ads, no account, no feature locked behind a second payment. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Record anything — your voice, an instrument, a record, a field recording, any sound around you. • Chop and slice — trim on the waveform and drag the markers to where the hit actually starts. • 128 pads — 16 per bank, eight banks from A to H. Switching banks never cuts off a sound that is still playing. • Step sequencer — 16 tracks, 16 steps, with swing. Kicks, snares, hats and percussion, and a groove going in seconds. • Tune every pad — pitch, fine tune, attack and envelope, per pad. • Play it live — trigger with your fingers or from an external MIDI controller. • Bounce and export — render a sequence to WAV, or export your pads as WAV with the pitch baked in. • Save your projects — close the app, come back, pick up where you stopped. • Background audio — keep the sound running while you switch apps. Built on a low-latency audio engine, and touch-first: not a desktop interface squeezed onto a small screen. GET STARTED IN SECONDS 1. Record or import a sound. 2. Assign it to a pad. 3. Play. No project setup, no sign-in, no tutorial to sit through. FOR EVERY KIND OF MAKER • 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. Whether you are sketching on the train, capturing a field recording or playing live, TAIL keeps the workflow short so you stay in the idea.
