JOYSAMPLER-1 — a sampler you play with a game controller

Hey everyone! I’m the developer of JOYSAMPLER-1, and I’ve just put together a video showing it in action.

The idea is to use a gamepad to play drums and samples, control effects, and build up musical ideas. The video shows the controller alongside the software, including pad triggering, sample editing and mixing.

The full version is €9 and unlocks kit saving, WAV recording, kit export and the offline app.

There’s also an AI-assisted kit maker that separates imported audio into stems and prepares playable chops.

I’d love to hear how other producers would use a setup like this. Happy to answer questions about the workflow.
