A free online sampler with real pads.
TAIL is a sampler that opens with a link: drop a sound on a pad, chop it, finger-drum, and tap patterns into the step sequencer — no installation, no signup to play, free account for saving.
Open the samplerWhat's inside
A sampler, not a toy.
16 pads, 8 banks.
A real MPC-style pad grid built for fingers — drop a sound on a pad and play it, no MIDI controller required.
A waveform editor, not a trim tool.
Slice any sound on the waveform with markers — each chop lands on its own pad, ready to play.
Tap patterns into 8 sequences.
A step sequencer for turning pads into beats — sketch a pattern, switch sequences, build the arrangement.
Mutegroups and markers in one move.
Open hats cut closed hats, chops stop each other clean — the details that make a kit feel like an instrument.
Phone, tablet, laptop.
One link, same sampler. Touch-first on the phone, just as fast with a mouse on the desktop.
Loads into KITE.
When a sketch becomes a track, the whole kit — pads, banks, sequences — opens inside KITE as a plugin.
Why a browser
Because the idea doesn't wait for a download.
Most online samplers are either demos of something bigger or drum machines with fixed sounds. TAIL is neither: it's the real sampler, in the browser, with your own sounds. Open the link on whatever's in front of you — the beat starts where you are, not where your studio is.
Came here to slice something specific? Start at the sample chopper — same TAIL, opened at the chop.
The short answers.
Yes. Playing TAIL in the browser is free — no installation, no signup. A free account unlocks saving and loading projects, and a native iOS/Android app is available as a small one-time purchase.
Not to play. Open the link and start sampling immediately. You create a free account only when you want to save a project and come back to it — or carry it into the native app and KITE.
No — on purpose. Bring your own: chops, voice memos, whatever's on your phone. Your sound, not a preset pack everyone else is using.
Yes — TAIL runs on Web Audio with a pad grid built for touch. Finger-drum on the phone screen or hit keys on a laptop; for the lowest latency and offline use, the native app has the same sampler.
Yes — export your beat from the browser anytime; what you make is yours to download.
TAIL is a sampler, not a full studio — and that's the point. No project setup, no plugin windows: a link that opens straight to pads. When you outgrow it, the kit loads into KITE, which runs as a plugin inside DAWs like Ableton Live and FL Studio.
