POCKET SAMPLER · iPHONE

An MPC in
your pocket.

Sample anything, generate sounds with the Synth Engine, and build beats on eight pads. Tactus MK1 is a pocket-sized sampler for iPhone.

iPhone only. Free during the TestFlight beta.

WHAT IT DOES

Everything you need to make a beat.

Eight pads, four screens, and a full mix — all on your iPhone.

01 SAMPLE · SYNTH

Generate sounds with the Synth Engine

Describe a sound in plain words — 808 kick, glassy bell, acid 303 bass — and the on-device Synth Engine generates it. Audition, try again for a fresh take, or drop it on a pad.

02 SAMPLE · MIC

Record your own

Hold a pad to sample straight from the mic. Stack layers on top, or run your voice through the vocoder for a robotized synth.

03 PLAY

Eight pads, always the same

Tap the 4x2 grid to perform. The same eight sounds follow you across the Sample, Play, and Step screens.

04 PLAY · FX

Shape every pad

Per-pad filter cutoff and resonance on an XY pad, plus volume, delay, drive, reverb, and pitch. One-shot or sustain.

05 STEP

Program patterns

A 16-step sequencer with a moving playhead. Add bars, then build verse, chorus, and fill as separate patterns that switch cleanly at the loop.

06 MASTER

Mix it down

Master volume with an output meter, reverb presets, tempo-synced delay, and a limiter that keeps the output clean. Tap to set the tempo.

07 TRANSPORT

Capture a live take

Arm record and play — your pad hits and knob moves are captured and replay on the next loop. Quantize snaps them to the grid.

08 PROJECTS

Save, render, and share

Projects auto-save as you work. Render a pattern onto a pad, bounce it to audio, or export the whole project to back up or share.

THE IDEA

Eight pads. Four screens. A whole studio that fits in one hand.
