Android sampler · 2026
A serious sampler for Android tablets.
KITE Sampler runs natively on Android tablets — full multi-sample mapping editor, MPC-style chopping, and a modular effect graph. Save your session, open it on iPad or as a plugin in your desktop DAW — VST3/CLAP on macOS and Windows, AUv3 on macOS — same samples, same routing, nothing to rebuild.
Free demo on Android. License to save and export.
What you get on Android.
Built for the tablet, not ported.
Touch-first UI tuned for tablet aspect ratios. Low-latency audio over Android 14's high-priority audio path, with the Storage Access Framework wired up so projects open from Drive, OneDrive, or local storage with one tap.
Full multi-sample keyboard zones.
Stretch, pitch, and assign samples across 128 MIDI notes. Class-compliant USB MIDI works over USB OTG with no driver install — plug in a small keyboard at the desk or a portable controller for couch sessions.
MPC-style slice and pads.
Touch-optimized waveform editor. Zoom with your finger, drop markers fast. Send slices to a 16-pad performance grid.
Patch effects between engines.
Route any sample to a dedicated channel, connect channels to dedicated effects. Multiple sampler engines run in parallel.
Open the same session on iPad — or in your DAW.
The Android project file opens identically on iPad, on macOS standalone, and inside the desktop plugin — VST3/CLAP on macOS and Windows, AUv3 on macOS — in Ableton Live, Logic, FL Studio, Bitwig, Reaper, and other compatible DAWs.
MIDI in, external controllers.
Pair an external MIDI keyboard or pad controller for finger-drumming.
Android samplers, side by side.
Three samplers running on Android tablets in 2026. Each is good at what it does — this is about which one matches your workflow.
