## Description

TAIL Sampler is a sampler and beat maker for your phone. Record any sound, chop it, spread it across 128 pads and sequence it into a beat. A touch-first sampler, not a desktop interface squeezed onto a small screen.<br>Built on a low-latency audio engine, TAIL is made for the moment an idea turns up: capture a sample and play it back in seconds. No complicated setup, no lag.<br><br>WHAT YOU CAN DO<br>- Record anything — your voice, an instrument, a record, a field recording, any sound around you.<br>- Chop and slice — trim a sample on the waveform and drag the markers to where the hit actually starts.<br>- 128 pads — 16 drum pads per bank, eight banks from A to H. Switching banks never cuts off a sound that is still playing.<br>- Step sequencer — 16 tracks, 16 steps, with swing. Place kicks, snares, hats and percussion and have a groove going in seconds.<br>- Tune every pad — pitch, fine tune, attack and envelope, per pad.<br>- Play it live — trigger pads with your fingers or from an external MIDI controller.<br>- Bounce and export — render a sequence to WAV, or export your pads as WAV with the pitch baked in.<br>- Save your projects — close the app, come back, pick up where you stopped.<br>- Background audio — keep the sound running while you switch apps.<br><br>WHY TAIL SAMPLER<br><br>  • Ultra-low latency — play in real time with a tight, responsive feel.<br>  • Record anything — sample your voice, an instrument, or any sound around you.<br>  • Play your way — trigger samples from the on-screen pads or an external MIDI controller.<br>  • Made for mobile — a clean, focused interface designed for one-handed, on-the-go creation.<br>  • Runs in the background — keep your sound playing while you switch apps.<br><br>FOR EVERY KIND OF MAKER<br>Whether you&#39;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.<br><br>  • Beatmakers — build grooves from your own one-shots and loops.<br>  • Producers — capture raw ideas anywhere and refine them later.<br>  • Sound designers — record and reshape real-world audio.<br>  • Performers — trigger samples live with MIDI.<br><br>  GET STARTED IN SECONDS<br><br>  1.
