Tapko Stomp

Tapko Stomp is an AUv3 audio trigger for live performance. It listens to your incoming audio and converts transients into MIDI notes, sample playback, or both. It's tailored towards live loopers but works for anyone that wants to be able to use any audio source to record MIDI.

Tapko Stomp is actively developed with continuous refinements, performance improvements, and new creative features inspired by real musicians.
