quality samples and loops. You can pick your favorite individual samples from the Splice Sounds

catalog of over 1 million sounds from world-class providers, build and save custom sample kits,

and program 32-step sequences on the web and on mobile devices using Beatmaker, Splice’s

TORAIZ SP-16 with the click of a button. There’s no need to import samples one by one. Simply
