01 — Workflow
Old samplers had tiny screens and locked formats. Chopping a short break could take twenty minutes. Drum Chopper does it in seconds — or goes as deep as you want.
01
Record from hardware, capture system audio, or drop any file. Transients detected instantly.
02
Velocity layers, alternate chops, ADSR, pitch, filters, plug-ins. Full control when you need it.
03
SCSI to Akai S-series, Ensoniq ASR-10 / EPS, or export to dozens of modern formats.
04
Round-trip sampling: capture inside the machine, chop in the app, send it straight back.
02 — Depth
Transient-aware slicing, one-shot universes, multi-tab sessions, buses, plug-in hosting, and a broad sampler export matrix.
Background analysis with editable thresholds, presets, and snap-to-grid. Raw detections preserved.
Up to four alternate chops with note and velocity triggering, independent envelopes and mappings.
PiSCSI, Akai Mesa and ASR-10 workflows are being validated against physical hardware as development continues.
Akai S1000–S6000, Ensoniq, Roland, MPC, Ableton, Bitwig, SFZ, DecentSampler, EXS24 and more.
Multi-tab shared audio, eight mix buses, AU/VST3 hosting, offline render with processing baked in.
Build complete instruments from folders of samples with root notes, sorting, and keyboard mapping.
