Android sampler · 2026
A serious sampler for Android tablets.
KITE is a native Android tablet sampler with a full multi-sample mapping editor, MPC-style chopping, and a modular effect graph. Save your session, open it on iPad or as a VST3/CLAP plugin in your DAW — same samples, same routing, same sound.

Frequently Asked Questions
