Chop samples online. Right here, free.
Drop a sound in, set your cut points on the waveform, and take the slices two ways: download them as files, or load them straight onto TAIL's 16 pads and play. No installation, no signup — right here on this page.
How 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 on the homepage, opened at the part most people come for.
Keep what you make
Export free. Grow into KITE.
Export your beat from the browser anytime — what you make is yours to download. 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. There's a native iOS/Android app as a $3.99 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.
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.
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.
