LESSON CHAPTERS
Beginner: Meet the hardware, record your first sample, trim and assign sounds to pads, and program your first beat. Everything you need to make sound on day one.
Advanced: Master Instant Sample Chop, practice chopping inside the app, dial in swing and groove, automate filters and effects with KNOB FX, and learn the difference between timestretch and repitch.
Pro: Level up your finger drumming, sculpt sounds with PAD FX and Flex Beat, chain sequences into full song arrangements, and run a clean USB-C mixdown into your DAW.
AI TUTOR ON EVERY LESSON
Stuck on a step? Tap the Tutor. The built-in AI Tutor knows exactly which lesson and step you are on and answers in plain English, with advice specific to the MPC Sample. It can even read answers aloud so you can keep your hands on the hardware. No generic responses, no hunting through forums - just instant, relevant help.
BUILT-IN SAMPLE PADS
Practice anywhere with a full 16-pad kit right in the app. Tap to trigger punchy kicks, snares, hi-hats, claps, 808s, percussion, & FX. Record your pad performance, play it back, and save your beats. Four dedicated user pads let you record your own sounds with the microphone or upload your own audio files - sample your voice, your room, anything - and chop it across the pads to build muscle memory before you touch the hardware.
BEAT TRAINER - RHYTHM GAME
Sharpen your timing with a built-in finger-drumming game. Notes fall down four lanes - kick, snare, hi-hat, open hat - & you tap in time with your kit. Includes:
11 patterns: Four-on-the-Floor, Boom Bap, Lofi, Trap, Drill, House, Reggaeton, Jersey Club, Funk, Drum & Bass, and more
Speed control from half-time practice up to full-speed challenge
Score, accuracy, and combo tracking
