Sample editing

Trim, fade and normalize without leaving the app

Open a sample on any pad and set its start and end points on the waveform. Volume, pan, pitch, fade and normalize sit on the same screen, so a sample goes from imported to finished without a round trip through another editor.

The sample editor open on a snare hit, with start and end markers on the waveform and controls for volume, pan, pitch, fade and normalize.

Project overview

See the whole project at once

The project view lists every kit in the backup folder with its pad usage, tempo and effect count. It is the view that tells you which kits are full, which are still empty, and where a change belongs, before you open one.

The project overview listing eleven kits with pad usage, tempo and effect counts for each.

Audio Units

Process pads with your own Audio Units

Pro only

Load an Audio Unit installed on your Mac onto a pad sample, preview the result, and render it into the kit. This is the one capability the App Store edition cannot offer, and the reason the Pro edition is distributed directly.
