WerkBench is one of the fastest sampling workflows on the planet. All controls are immediately accessible, musical, and fun!

At the heart of WerkBench are two step sequencers that can sample sounds directly into rhythms and then warp those sounds with synthesizer type controls and high-quality audio effects.

The concept is simple and powerful. You will be making awesome music in seconds!

WerkBench features:

--"Fancy Controls" (pitch, lowpass filters, highpass filters, envelopes, and more!)

--Edit the level, pitch, pan, low-pass filter, high-pass filter, envelope attack & decay, echo send, reverb send, and bit crusher effects independently for each of the 128 steps!

--All of these settings can be: performed and recorded in real-time, randomized, or programmed on the sequencer grids.

--Individual sequences can have arbitrary start and end points (they can even run backwards and be any length up to 16 steps)

--Chain sequences to build longer loops (1 - 128 steps!).

--Modeled tape echo for spacey effects with a sweet real-time visualizer, tempo sync, and free running modes.

--Reverb with fully sweep-able controls for decay, color (tone), and mix.

--Save and load loops or whole sessions of 8 patterns.

--Share loops between devices easily via airdrop, iTunes, e-mail, etc.

--Import wav files to chop up with our editor (the editor also works as a granular synthesizer!!)

--Export loops and recordings via Audio Copy, iTunes file sharing, and email.

--MIDI sync and MIDI note modes. Each of the 128 steps can be triggered on its own MIDI note.

--User-programable scales per side.

We hope you love it!
