How it works

Load a sample.
Feel the vinyl.

Load any audio file using the file browser or by opening it from another app. The full waveform view with overview strip lets you navigate the track instantly. From there you control everything — playback, scratching, cues, loops, and cuts — through touch.

Scratching works by dragging on the waveform canvas. The vinyl physics engine models real platter inertia: the sound accelerates and decelerates the way a record actually does, including spin-down when you let go.

Subtle, precise response for slow detailed work

Everything you need to scratch

Vinyl Physics

Real platter inertia. The sound accelerates and decelerates the way a record actually does — spin-down, coast, and snap-back.

Scratch & Cut

Drag the waveform to scratch. Hold CUT to kill the signal like a crossfader. REV flips direction. Crossfader strip for blend control.

Cue Points & Loop

Two cue points. Set loop IN/OUT manually. Toggle loop without losing the region. Jump to cues instantly.

Record Sessions

Capture your scratch session as WAV. Up to 3 minutes per take. Share or save directly from the app.

AUv3 Plugin

Load as an instrument plugin inside GarageBand, AUM, Audiobus, or any AUv3 host. Full UI inside the host.

15 Themes

Dark interface optimized for stage and studio. 15 color palettes to match your style and setup.
