  • 12-Bit Prophet Engine: Authentic vintage quantization with variable clock rates (44.1kHz down to 6kHz) for classic aliasing.
  • Tuned Looping: Advanced sampler logic that forces audio segments to cycle at MIDI-responsive frequencies.
  • Dub Filter: 4-pole (24dB/oct) State Variable Filter with asymmetrical saturation for analog warmth.
  • Space Echo: Multi-tap delay with non-linear feedback for sound design.
  • 8 Curated Dub Techno Presets: Instantly recall classic deep and dub techno sounds.
  • Live Output Recording: Capture your live performances.
  • Teal Noir UI: High-contrast, industrial dark mode interface optimized for precision and low-light focus.
  • Zero Dependencies: Fully native macOS execution. No external libraries. No internet required.

  • Real-time Audio Processing: Load any audio sample and manipulate it on the fly.
  • Lo-Fi Sampler Module: Degrade your audio with variable bit depth reduction and clock rate downsampling.
  • Multi-mode Filter: Shape the frequency content with Lowpass, Bandpass, Highpass and Notch filters; coupled with an analog-style drive circuit.
  • Tape Echo: Add space and texture with a delay unit featuring feedback and tape wow/flutter effects.
  • Interactive Waveform Display: Visualize the loaded audio and click/drag to seek through the sample.
  • VU Meter: Classic vintage-style stereo VU meter for monitoring output levels.

Control Description Range
Bits Reduces the bit depth of the audio, introducing digital quantization noise and crunch. 2 to 16 Bits
Clock Lowers the sample rate, creating aliasing and "ringing" artifacts typical of vintage samplers. 10% to 100%

๐…๐ข๐ฅ๐ญ๐ž๐ซ

Control Description Range
Cutoff Sets the frequency point where the filter begins to affect the audio. 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz
Resonance Emphasizes the frequencies right around the cutoff point, creating a peak or "ringing" sound. 0.0 to 1.0
Drive Pushes the signal into soft-clipping distortion before it leaves the filter. Gain compensation is applied automatically. 1x to 10x
Mode Selects the filter type: Lowpass (LP), Bandpass (BP), Highpass (HP), or Notch (NOTCH). Multi-state

๐„๐œ๐ก๐จ

Control Description Range
Repetitions Sets the delay time between successive echo repeats. 0.0s to 1.0s
Feedback Controls how much of the delayed signal is fed back into the delay line, determining the number of repeating echoes. 0.0 to 0.9
Width (Wow) Introduces a slow, randomized pitch fluctuation simulating the wow and flutter of a vintage analog tape delay. 0.0 to 1.0
