Sampler core across mobile and desktop

VU202

Beat machine on iPhone and Android. Multi-out sampler in the DAW.

VU202 is built for speed, touch and tone. Load your own sounds, trim them fast, chop, resample, shape pads, build patterns and move from raw ideas to finished exports without losing momentum.

The iOS version is a full standalone instrument. The VST keeps the same pad language inside the host, with a workflow that sits naturally in real sessions.

32 pads Four banks, trim, choke, effects, mute, solo and resampling.

Pattern tools Nudge, duplicate, erase, double, rename and quick beat building.

Three workflows Standalone beat machine on iOS and Android, mix-ready sampler inside the DAW.

Choose your workflow

Same engine, shaped around the surface it lives on

All versions speak the same sampler language, but they are not clones. Mobile is for direct, self-contained beat making. VST is for keeping that exact speed inside a larger production session.

VU202 iOS

A standalone sketch machine you can actually finish ideas on

Import your own audio, record straight into pads, resample processed sounds, trim in place and move between pads, patterns and songs without leaving the instrument.

It is fast enough for rough sketches, but deep enough to carry a full beat through export when the idea wants to stay on the device.

Projects, pattern mode and song mode in one compact workflow
Pad, bank and master effects with chop and resample flow
Export full mixes or stems when the beat is ready

VU202 VST

The same front-panel speed, opened up for the mixer

The VST version keeps trim, pads, pattern tools, resample flow, bank and pad menus, UI customisation and the musical feel of the sampler, while letting the DAW own transport and arrangement.

It is made for real sessions: build sounds fast, keep your chops close, then route banks and pads out into the host when the mix needs more room.

Multi-out workflow for main, banks and pads inside the host
Fast pad editing without dragging the session into menu diving
Ideal for beat starts, chops, textures and drum programming in context

What it does

Everything important stays close to the pads

VU202 does not hide the instrument behind menu layers. The workflow is deliberately compact, but it still reaches into sequencing, timing, trim work, resampling and export with a strong sense of front-panel control.

The result feels direct on a phone and just as efficient in a plugin slot.

Pattern mode with movement

Build grooves up to 64 steps, use per-step nudge, swing, velocity and quick pattern tools, then jump between raw loop-making and tighter sequencing without losing the feel of the beat.

Trim, preview and chop

Shape start and end points, check playback directly in trim view, then split a sound into eight playable slices when the sample wants to become a kit instead of a single hit.

Song mode when the loop grows up

Chain patterns, rename them, organise repeats and turn sketches into a clearer structure without stepping outside the instrument.

Export built for real handoff

Bounce a full mix or stems, keep choke-bank separation when needed and move cleanly from the sampler into a wider production or mix workflow.

Pad, bank and master colour

Stack pad effects, push groups harder with bank processing and keep shaping the whole instrument through the master path when the beat needs more identity.

Character as part of the workflow

Move between HiFi, Standard, LoFi and LoFi2, change mono or stereo behaviour, set trigger or gate playback and treat each pad as its own sound lane instead of a generic slot.

The wider VU line

VU202 sits inside a family of tools built around sampler texture, direct control and early-digital character. If you want to go deeper into that sound, the rest of the line is already waiting.
