Start on the hardware. Finish on your Mac.

SampleLab opens the project you already made, so a bigger screen can help without replacing the way you start.

    Make the beat

    Build the idea on the hardware with your sequences, pads, and samples.

  2. SampleLab

    Get the music out

    Export a stereo WAV, individual pad stems, or MIDI when you’re ready.

The tools to finish the beat.

  1. Arrange & edit

    Arrange sequences into a song and edit the notes inside each sequence.

  2. Pads & sounds

    Assign or replace samples, preview waveforms, make nondestructive trims, audition sounds with a live playhead, and adjust each pad’s gain and pan.

  3. Export

    Export your finished work as a stereo WAV, individual pad stems, or MIDI.

Continue the project you already started — without rebuilding the beat or overwriting the original MPC Sample project.

SampleLab is a focused Mac companion, not a DAW and not a replacement for the hardware.

A nondestructive workflow keeps your original MPC Sample project intact.
