"I based this pack purely on what I think a songwriter might need when coming up with a new song. Solid grooves, strong backbeats and a nice flow without getting in the way", says session drummer and Austin, TX native Stephen Belans. In other words - the perfect addition to your everyday songwriting drum needs.

Samplodica is rhythmical, you whip your phone in the air to play. It's a tactile, kinetic way of making music, much like acoustic instruments, and way better than staring at a screen trying to tap minuscule buttons.
Samplodica draws a lot of inspiration from quirky protosynths, pioneering electronic music, playable toys, and early sampling and tape manipulation. Samplodica is insanely fun to play. It is simple to learn, and at the same time offers musical depth and complexity for a skilled player. Yeah, you can actually get skilled at playing the Samplodica.
