## Description

Shape any sound on a scrollable Sample Canvas, then perform its living Orbit from touch, Mac keys, MIDI, or a Launchpad. All native, all on-device.

Ohms Sample turns any sound into a touch instrument and a generative loom. It is native on macOS and iPadOS, with all audio kept on your device.

ONE PLAYABLE SURFACE
* Orbit, Pulse steps, Mutation gestures, trigger pads, and a collapsible snapshot bank share one large instrument view; only Take opens a separate workspace.
* Reweave sits beside transport and redraws the visible routes as it changes them.
* Choose System, Light, or Dark appearance.

PLAY AND EDIT
* Slicer taps the waveform; Looper compresses a two-finger loop into grain; Tape scrubs speed and direction; Keyboard plays one slice chromatically.
* Scroll and zoom the PCM-derived Sample Canvas from 1× to 8×.
* Select a range, cut it or keep only it, reverse it, and apply pitch-preserving stretch from 50% to 200%.
* Restore the untouched source at any time.
* Detect and drag up to 16 transient-aware slices, with tune, volume, pan, attack, release, reverse, and loop per slice.

WEAVE THE ORBIT
* Draw weighted routes between the sample's circular slice arcs.
* A seeded engine walks those weights while the live playhead makes every choice visible.
* Run a 1–64 step Pulse lane, each step with its own openness.
* Arm four weighted Mutation gestures per slice: stutter, reverse, speed, and scratch.
* Morph across a 3×4 snapshot bank and punch in with four manual trigger pads.

GRAIN AND EFFECTS
* A preallocated native Swift engine renders up to 128 grain voices with position, size, density, pitch, jitter, reverse probability, and stereo spread.
* Add resonant low-pass or high-pass filtering, feedback delay, and reverb.

KEYBOARD AND MIDI
* On Mac, A–P play the sixteen pads unless Sample Brain search is explicitly focused.
* Generic MIDI controllers can use notes 36–51 or 60–75 for pads and 52–55 for triggers.
* Learn CCs for grain, FX, and morph controls; receive and send MIDI clock; use virtual ports; and echo Orbit decisions as notes.

LAUNCHPAD HARDWARE
* Launchpad Mini MK3, X, and Pro MK3 get sixteen large 2×2 color blocks on Pads, plus focused Weave, Pulse, and Memory pages.
* The on-screen mirror and hardware LEDs use the same direct visual language.

CAPTURE SAFELY AND SEARCH LOCALLY
* File and folder controls open system pickers. Sample Brain indexes any number of chosen folders for local search.
* Microphone capture is armed only in Take. Finished audio stays staged beside the loaded sample until you choose Use Recording or Keep Current.
* On macOS, Sample Anything can freeze the last 60 seconds of system audio from an in-memory buffer — audio only, never screen frames — with the same staged decision.

EXPORT, SESSIONS, AND AUv3
* Export the edited audio as WAV, or save sample, slices, weave, mutations, snapshots, FX, and grain as a session.
* The full generative engine and insert FX run sample-accurately in a macOS and iPadOS AUv3 instrument with 23 automatable parameters and host-saved state. Each instance keeps its own sample and can follow host tempo.
* The AUv3 requests no microphone, file, screen-capture, or network access.

PRIVATE BY CONSTRUCTION
* No account, analytics, telemetry, advertising, cloud, or network calls.
* No subscription or in-app purchase. $29.99 once for macOS and iPadOS as a universal purchase.

REQUIREMENTS
* macOS 14 or later, or iPadOS 17 or later. Sample Anything is macOS-only; microphone recording works on both.
