TEMPO-1

Sampler Groovebox

USD 11.99

Now with live sampling on Mac: record audio, edit samples, and build custom kits inside TEMPO-1. TEMPO-1 is a sampler groovebox for Mac, built for fast beat making, deep sequencing, live capture, resampling, MIDI workflows, and finishing ideas without leaving the flow. Build beats with a 12-voice workstation covering drums, percussion, keys, bass, synth, and user sounds. Play pads, program patterns, shape each voice, route sounds through effects, and keep ideas moving inside one focused instrument. The sequencer is built for feel. Create patterns up to 64 steps, then shape each step with velocity, probability, microtiming, ratchets, conditional playback, and chromatic pitch. Add swing, rolls, timing shifts, melodic movement, and variation without losing the speed of a hardware-style workflow. Sampling stays immediate. Record audio directly into TEMPO-1, import WAVs, edit samples in place, and assign them to any voice. Use modeled drums, bundled sounds, and custom samples to build kits, then bounce voices or recordings back into pads for resampling. Capture pad or MIDI performances directly into patterns, with quantized recording when you want tighter timing. Mix with level, pan, mute, solo, master controls, and meters. Add motion with Phaser, Slicer, Delay, Reverb, Filter, Crush shaping, routing, and automation. TEMPO-1 gives you practical ways to finish ideas. Export loops as WAV, export patterns as MIDI, or capture a live performance as WAV. Use it on its own, map controls with MIDI Learn, send MIDI from pads and sequenced tracks, or run it as an AUv3 in supported Mac hosts.
