One project, every studio surface
KITE —
from chop
to beat.
A modular sampler — load your own samples, then patch engines and effects into a scene graph you wire like a rack.
Watch
The teaser.
One project file
The same project, everywhere.
Start a beat on your tablet, then open it in KITE inside your DAW exactly as you left it — every sample and routing intact. The session travels with you: no export, nothing to rebuild.
Your DAW
Loads as a plugin in Ableton Live, Logic, FL Studio, Bitwig, Reaper, and others, with AUv3 on macOS.
Standalone app
Runs as a native desktop app on macOS and Windows — no DAW required.
Native touch app
The full sampler — not a desktop app squeezed onto a screen.

The same engine, native on Android tablets — low-latency audio built in.

TAIL is our phone-first sampler. Make a drum kit on your phone; it saves as a .tail file that drops straight into KITE's scene graph, ready to be used in a full beat.
Meet TAIL → tailsampler.comThe 7 Sections.
Seven focused areas, each built for one job — things like a step sequencer, a mapping editor, and a fully patchable scene graph.
The Sequencer
Tap in kicks and snares. Get a pattern going fast.
Section Arranger
No automation lanes to draw. Arrange your patterns and sequences, then program effect changes as Scenes in a step-sequencer-like grid.
Mapping Editor
Map a chop across the keyboard, stretch it, split it into zones — a full mapping editor.
Waveform Editor
Chop fast, zoom precise, set markers in one move.
Modular Scene Graph
Route samples between engines and patch effects into the chain. Connections you couldn't make with a standard mixer.
Properties
Mute groups, envelopes, per-sample settings. Everything that lives at the sample level.
Performance Pads
A 16-pad layout for triggering and previewing your samples.
The Waveform Editor.
Direct chopping. Zoom, drop markers — the way a sample editor should feel.
Visual Effects Rack
Five FX.
Nothing in the way.
Hands-on effects, made to be performed — not just programmed.
- 2-Band DJ EQ:Quick tonal shifts.
- 3-Band DJ EQ:Cut the mud, keep the punch.
- BPM Delay:Synced rhythmic echoes.
- Simple Delay:Dub-style feedback loops.
- Reverb:Decay that sits back without clouding the mix.
A full-featured Mapping Editor.
Stretch and pitch samples across the full keyboard range. Hook up a MIDI keyboard and trigger them across all 128 notes — no driver needed.

No — on purpose. Load your own: chops, field recordings, hardware bounces. Your sound, not ours.
