Ohms Sample.

Shape a sound. Weave an instrument. Play the whole surface.

01 · One playable surface

The Orbit stays under your hands.

Orbit, Pulse steps, Mutation gestures, trigger pads, and a collapsible snapshot bank live together. Reweave sits beside transport and redraws every changed route.

02 · Edit the sound

Scroll in. Cut close. Restore freely.

Zoom the PCM-derived Sample Canvas from 1× to 8×, select a range, cut or keep it, reverse it, stretch it, and return to the untouched source whenever you want.

03 · Capture without fear

The current sample stays yours.

Capture is armed only in Take. Finished mic or Mac system audio waits beside the loaded sample until you explicitly use it or keep what is already playing.

What it does
S/01
Granular performance engine.

Up to 128 preallocated grain voices use deterministic native Swift DSP with a Hann envelope, pitch, reverse probability, position jitter, density, and stereo spread.

S/02
Transient slicer.

Move 16 transient-aware markers on the real waveform — they snap to nearby zero-crossings — then set each slice's tune, level, pan, attack, release, reverse, loop, and choke group. Equal slices and Detect slices sit on the play-mode row.

16 slices · choke groups · zero-crossing snap
S/03
A Sample Canvas you can enter.

Scroll and zoom the decoded waveform, select a range, cut or keep it, reverse it, and apply pitch-preserving 50%–2× stretch without giving up the source.

1×–8× · cut · reverse · stretch · restore
S/04
Keys and controllers play directly.

On Mac, A–P play sixteen pads unless search is focused. Generic MIDI accepts notes 36–51 or 60–75 for pads and 52–55 for triggers.

A–P · two MIDI banks · four triggers
S/05
Capture with a decision.

Mic and optional Mac system-audio capture are confirmed and staged. Nothing replaces the working sample until you choose Use Recording; Keep Current discards the candidate.

Take only · confirm · stage · choose
S/06
Sample Brain.

Index a folder you choose into an on-device SQLite FTS5 library, search filenames and folders, and see each result's measured format and duration. Samples and queries are never uploaded.

SQLite FTS5 · safe local search
S/07
AUv3 and Launchpad instruments.

Run the generative engine and insert FX in compatible hosts, starting from eight factory presets. Reloading a host project restores the sample and sounds from MIDI without opening the plugin UI. On Launchpad Mini MK3, X, or Pro MK3, Pads becomes sixteen large 2×2 color blocks with focused Weave, Pulse, and Memory pages.

S/08
Color that follows the sound.

Spectral slice color joins the Orbit, waveform, pads, Pulse lane, and hardware mirror. System, Light, and Dark appearances keep the same playable hierarchy.

S/09
Reusable recipes.

Save a sound's whole character — engine settings, slices, canvas edits, and effects — as a small .ohmsrecipe file, then apply it to any sample in one undo step. Recipes are configuration only, never audio, and move freely between Mac and iPad.

.ohmsrecipe · one undo step · no audio inside
Works with

On Mac, a stem sent from OhmSplit or a take sent from Ohm Studio opens straight into Ohms Sample — as does any audio file you open with it from Finder. Nothing leaves your Mac.
