A new reverb and delay, presets for both, Render Pad, and delay-send swipes on the pads. • The reverb and delay now run on the Tapko Space engine. The reverb has four types — Room, Plate, Hall, and Cosmos — with Space, Decay, Pre-delay, Color, Clarity, and Modulation. The delay has Clean, Warm, Diffuse, and Reverse characters, plus Color, Width, Clarity, and Into Reverb to send its echoes into the reverb. • Your existing kits are converted automatically and keep sounding close to how they did. • Reverb and delay presets: pick a drum-focused factory preset or save your own. Your presets are available in every kit, and you can rename, delete, export, and import them. Each kit keeps its own copy of its settings, so a shared kit sounds the same on any device. • Effect presets are included in iCloud backups and .tapkobackup files. • Render Pad: bounce a pad into a new sample, with its trims, EQ, pitch, envelope, and layers baked in — and its reverb and delay too, if you like. Save it to the Media Browser or put it straight back on the pad. • New kits start with the delay synced to your host's tempo on an eighth-note echo. • Turning the reverb or delay off now lets its tail ring out instead of cutting it. • New Dly swipe mode: swipe pads up or down to set their delay send, just like reverb send. • Chromatic MIDI Channels (Beta): play each pad chromatically from its own MIDI channel. Turn it on in Settings > Other. • Web Manager (Beta): edit your kits and Media Library from a browser on your computer, over your local network. • Now you can record audio directly in the app (standalone version). • Pad gain now goes up to ±24 dB. • The Media Browser opens faster. • Fixed the News button's unread dot never coming back. • Fixed host mute automation sometimes arriving late.
Tapko is a fast, no-nonsense drum sampler built by a musician for musicians. Load your sounds, build your kit, and play — standalone or as an AUv3 plugin in your favorite host. Use Tapko on its own as a playable drum machine, or load it as an AUv3 instrument in AUM, Loopy Pro, GarageBand, Cubasis, and more. 16 PADS, TOTAL CONTROL • 16-pad grid with per-pad sample import (WAV, AIFF, MP3, M4A, FLAC, CAF) • Per-pad 3-band EQ with adjustable gain and frequency, volume, pan, gain, choke groups, and configurable Fade Out • Swipe pads to tweak volume, EQ, pan, reverb send, and delay send on the fly • MIDI Learn — tap a pad, play a note, instantly assign note and channel • Swipe left/right on single-sample pads to cycle saved versions • Tapko Space reverb — Room, Plate, Hall, and Cosmos, with Space, Decay, Pre-delay, Color, Clarity, and Modulation, plus per-pad send and dry level • Tapko Space delay — Clean, Warm, Diffuse, and Reverse, synced to your host's tempo (straight, dotted, or triplet) or free-running, with the option to send its echoes into the reverb • Reverb and delay presets — drum-focused factory presets plus your own, in every kit. Export and import them; shared kits sound the same anywhere • Varispeed pitch — retune a pad up or down turntable-style, or set pitch per velocity layer and round-robin sample • Let a pad's hits overlap and ring out instead of cutting each other off — perfect for cymbals and pads ADVANCED SAMPLING • Velocity layers — up to 5 layers per pad with adjustable velocity ranges • Round robin — cycle through up to 5 samples per pad (sequential or random) • Layer mode — stack up to 5 samples per pad and trigger them simultaneously • Random velocity — override incoming velocity with base +/- variation for natural dynamics • Sample Editor with a zoomable waveform and full-file overview, trim handles, start delay, attack, and gain. Play sounds exactly like hitting the pad • Render Pad — bounce a pad, with its trims, EQ, pitch, envelope, and layers (and optionally its reverb and delay), into a new sample. Save it to the Media Browser or put it straight back on the pad • Global media browser — import clips once and use them in any kit; nested folders, folder import, multi-select, and library export/import KITS & SHARING • Create, rename, duplicate, and delete kits • Import and export kits as .tapkokit files • Kit Store — browse and download free community kits • Full backup and restore of all kits, media, and effect presets to a single .tapkobackup file • iCloud backup — upload kits, media, and presets and restore them on another device. Later backups only upload what changed • Build kits on your computer at tapko.davidguva.se MULTI-OUTPUT ROUTING • 9 stereo output buses (1 Main + 8 Aux) for hosts that support multi-output • Assign each pad to an individual output bus for separate mixing and effects • Pads assigned to an Aux bus are isolated to that bus, so you can send drums to individual channel strips without duplicating them on Main • Single-output hosts hear every pad that's still assigned to Main • Pads routed to an Aux bus show which output they use right on the pad MIDI & HOST INTEGRATION • MIDI input with customizable note mapping (GM drum layout by default) • Per-pad MIDI channel assignment (omni or channel 1–16) • MIDI output and Program Change for kit switching • Pad parameters and the Mixer (main volume, reverb, delay) exposed to the host for automation • Delay syncs to the host's tempo • Reports its reverb and delay tails to the host, so they ring out after the last hit • Factory presets support BUILT FOR PERFORMANCE • Real-time C++ DSP engine with vDSP acceleration • 48-voice polyphonic playback with intelligent voice stealing • Efficient CPU usage; heavier kits (more layers, longer tails, more FX) use more STANDALONE & PLUGIN Tapko works as a standalone drum machine right out of the box. It also registers as an AUv3 instrument plugin so any compatible host can load it.
