SLICE IT. GRAIN IT. FLIP IT. SLOW IT DOWN.
Creative sampler & multi-effect.
/// WHAT IT IS
A sampler you play from MIDI, wired into granular, tremolo, reverse and half time. Hit the whole loop — or only the slices you pick.
/// THE PANEL
Hover a module — or tap it — to see what it does.
Sampler, granular, tremolo, reverse and half time on one CRT-lit panel.
/// THE SAMPLER
Drag in any loop, slice it, and play every piece from your keys.
MODE 01LOOP
Lock the loop to your tempo, or let it run free.
Cut by transient or by bar.
Choose how many beats each cut takes.
Every slice sits on a key. Chop and rearrange it right in your piano roll.
Switch it on and every slice glides into its note from a start pitch you choose. Set the time, pick from several curve modes.
MODE 02ONE SHOT
Load a single sound and play it across your keys. Set the root note, shape it with attack, decay, sustain and release — glide works here too. Then drag the whole sample straight into your DAW.
/// THE EFFECTS
EDIT +
From rhythmic stutter to dense clouds.
Volume in motion, from soft sway to hard chop. Pick a shape or draw your own.
ON◂◂ REWIND
The sample, backwards. One button, one mix knob.
ON0.5× · −12 ST

/// LISTEN
Press play, then flip between dry and wet — same take, same moment.
