Twelve outputs from earlier Tapechild generator builds, paired with the prompts that produced them. The current model can vary; press play, copy a prompt, or start a variation with the same musical frame.

What you can generate

AI loops

Set the tempo and bar count to choose the file length. Preview the rhythm and loop points before adding it to your track.

One-shots

Kicks, snares, claps, rimshots, toms and metallic percussion, rendered as a single isolated event with a clean transient and a natural decay into silence. BPM and key controls are available for loops only.

Sound effects

Risers, impacts, textures and foley-style hits use the same one-shot path: describe the event and the material, and you get one clean, full-bandwidth capture instead of a loop of them.

Bass, synths and textures

Basses, pads, keys, plucks and atmospheres all work — the model conditions on plain language, so "reese bass, modulated movement, heavy club-ready" is a valid instruction, and so is a genre, an era and a room.

How it works

1 · Describe it

Write what you want to hear — instrument, texture, rhythm, space and era. Choose an example prompt and edit it, or write your own.

2 · Set the musical frame

Choose loop or one-shot. For loops, set the BPM, key and bar count.

3 · Keep what works

Renders land in your library while you keep writing. Play, scrub the waveform, favourite, download the WAV, or drag the row straight into your DAW. Hit the variation button to send a sample back to the prompt with its settings intact.

Questions

What is an AI sample generator?

It is a tool that turns a written description of a sound into an audio file. Instead of searching a sample pack for a snare that fits, you describe the snare you want — "dusty sampled rimshot, woody click, narrow punchy body" — and the model synthesises it. It returns loops, one-shots and sound effects as downloadable files.

Is there a free AI sample generator here?

Yes. Every account gets 5 free renders with no card and no trial timer, and they are full-quality WAVs with the same commercial rights as paid renders. After that, Starter includes 400 renders for $19 a month, Pro includes 2,000 for $49, and Unlimited is $89.

Are the generated samples royalty-free?

Yes. Samples you generate are yours to use in commercial releases, client work, sample packs of your own, streams and video — under the sample license, with no attribution or per-use fee. Tapechild claims no ownership of your renders.

Can I set the BPM and key?

Yes, for loops. Set the tempo and the bar count and the loop is rendered to the exact length of that many 4/4 bars at that tempo, so it lines up with the grid. The key is chosen on a small piano with sharp/flat and major/minor toggles. BPM and key controls are available for loops only.

What audio formats do I get?

WAV is the default. MP3 and FLAC are available under Advanced.

Is there an AI sample generator plugin or VST?

Not for this generator — it runs in the browser, and finished samples drag straight into your DAW from the library. Tapechild does ship a VST3/AU plugin, but it is a different product: UDS-16 is a drum synth that generates its hits from circuit models in real time, with no samples involved.

Why does a plain sentence produce an on-grid loop?

The BPM and bar count determine the file length. Generated timing can vary, so preview the loop before using it.

How long does a render take?

Usually 5–20 seconds once the GPU pool is warm. The first render after a quiet period can take up to about two minutes while workers start. Queue as many renders as you like in one sitting and the library shows live progress for each. They leave the queue in order, two at a time on Free and Starter, four at a time on Pro and Unlimited.

Do you keep or share my samples?

Your renders are stored in your private library between sessions. They are not published to a public feed. You can delete samples from your library.
