Chop samples online. Right here, free.
TAIL is a sample chopper that runs in your browser. Drop a sound in, slice it on the waveform, and play the chops on 16 pads — no installation, no signup to play, free account for saving.
Open the sample chopperHow it works
From sound to chops in under a minute.
Drop a sound in
Drag any audio onto a pad — a loop, a voice memo, a bounce off your phone.
Set your chops
Slice it on the waveform: set markers where the hits land, and each chop gets its own pad.
Play them back
Finger-drum the 16 pads, then tap a pattern into the step sequencer and hear the flip.
No DAW required
The chop comes first. The setup never does.
Every other way to chop a sample starts with software: download a DAW, install a plugin, create a project, load a sampler. By the time it's ready, the idea has cooled off. TAIL flips that — the chopper is a link. Hear something, open it, slice it, play it, while it's still in your head.
And it's a real sampler behind the chopper, not just a slicing utility: 16 pads, 8 banks, a step sequencer, and mutegroups — so the chops become a beat, not just a folder of files. It's the same TAIL as the free online sampler, opened at the part most people come for.
Keep what you make
Export free. Save with a free account. Grow into KITE.
Export your beat from the browser anytime — what you make is yours to download. A free account lets you save projects and reopen them later, on any device. And when a sketch deserves the full studio treatment, the whole kit — pads, banks, and sequences — loads into KITE as a plugin, so the flip becomes a track without starting over.
The short answers.
Yes. Open it in your browser and chop — no installation, no signup to play. A free account unlocks saving and loading projects, and there's a native iOS/Android app as a small one-time purchase if you want TAIL on your home screen, offline.
No. The chopper runs entirely in your browser on Web Audio — open the link and start slicing. You only create a free account when you want to save a project and come back to it.
That's the whole point. The waveform, the markers, the pads — all built for a touchscreen, not a desktop UI shrunk down. It works the same on a tablet or a laptop.
Yes — export your beat from the browser anytime; what you make is yours to download. To reopen a project later, or carry it into the native app and KITE, save it with a free account.
A DAW asks you to install software, create a project, and set up a sampler before you hear a single chop. TAIL is the opposite: the idea comes first. Chop in the browser in seconds — and when a sketch deserves the full studio treatment, the whole kit loads into KITE as a KITE plugin.
