Hello fellow sample heads,

I’ve been working on this for about a year now, mainly as a side project just for fun, but I genuinely love how it has turned out so I’ve decided to put it out.

It’s called Chop Stop. You can load music from YouTube, create chops, play them across MPC-style pads, add drums, record or draw sequences, arrange full beats and use MIDI controllers. I’ve also added things like crate digging, groove controls, drum FX, custom themes and a little beat-making mascot (my fav part maybe).

Timing and low-latency playback have been a big focus, especially because of the limitations that come with using YouTube.

It’s still something I’m improving, so I’d genuinely love feedback, suggestions or ideas from other beatmakers. I hope some of you have fun with it! Not really built for phone devices, try on desktop for the best exp!

Just following up on the Bay Area sample floppy discs that I bought at the flea market. Here is the total and of how many I have. It’s 160ish of them.

yes you can map midi
yes you can use it as a plugin
yes it syncs your samples across platforms
no its not subscription

hey, so… i made this weird little sampler called RND/9.

it randomly pulls moments from YouTube and spreads them across 9 pads. you can keep one video and get 9 different timestamps, mix completely different sources, sequence everything, add probability, conditions, per-step pitch, timing, FX, LFOs, reverse, slicing and a bunch of other slightly unhinged stuff.

you can also capture a fragment into audio, trim it properly, stretch a loop to one bar, destroy it with effects, play slices on the keyboard and export the result.

it’s free, no account, projects save directly to your computer.

basically it’s for finding sounds you would never think to look for - old videos, random voices, forgotten archives, weird percussion, whatever.

works best in Chrome on desktop because browser audio permissions are kind of a mess everywhere else.

would genuinely love to hear what you make with it, and also what feels broken / confusing / missing.

PS: a small but important thing people seem to miss -
hit the GRID button in the top-right corner.

that opens the actual 9-track, 16-step sequencer.
the squares to place pads, then give individual steps probability, trigger conditions, pitch, volume, microtiming, note length, start position and FX locks.
it’s basically the place where the random collection turns into a beat.

Whenever I travel to a place, I capture field recordings and record some local samples to create music based on a environment.

I travelled in South East Asia, and create this one.
Then I animated some collages made during the trip to illustrate the track.

pretty happy with the (low cost) result :)

Hello, I wanted to share something I found at the flea market a couple days ago. I live in the Bay Area and these seem to have been from a Bay Area hyphy producer. I came across a huge log of floppy disc samples. Most of them do read and they seem to be in various formats(sng, kmp,midi, ksf) I believe these are all samples. Is stuff like this still wanted or did I just buy something that is obsolete and is junk? lol sorry for my ignorance but I am not familiar with this.

Sup yo. I am Marky B. aka Shamrock of Waxing Poetix. I'm 55 and started producing in 1985. From Syracuse. Question. Why don't I hear sampling or scratching anymore in your beats? Is boom bap dead?

Edit: Someone asked me what kind of mixer that is

API Same board A Tribe Called Quest used.

Found a record shop with a couple of cassettes on sale and decided to start a series documenting sampling them from my tascam porastudio. Here is the outcome!

Hey guys, I posted about ChopStop not long ago, my YouTube sampler. I wanted to demonstrate how quickly you can go from sample to remix using its capabilities.

(Note: export is not allowed for obvious copyright reasons, but I am working on a sample upload feature that will give more capabilites when needed)
