Weekly videos helping beatmakers get more out of their samplers and dawless gear (SP-404, Koala Sampler, Digitakt, & more).
From full beat builds to sound design and live performance, this channel is about making real music within the wonderfully weird limitations of hardware.
Sunwarper is a Los Angeles–based electronic project featured on KEXP and Bandcamp New & Notable.

How do you usually slice samples?
New video out tomorrow breaking down a manual slicing method that doesn’t rely on Auto Chop. It fixed what I think is the biggest workflow flaw on the P-6.

I’m spending this week editing and lining up the next run of videos post NAMM. Lots of interesting videos in the queue, like making samples and looking into the SEQTRAK update.
If you’ve found the tips and tutorials on this channel useful and want more hands-on help, whether that’s sampler workflows, finishing beats, or just getting unstuck, I do have a few openings for one on one lessons.
Details are here if you’re interested:

Back soon with more videos.

After a long week at NAMM, it’s been really nice to get back home, sit down with some familiar gear and make beats again.
I’ve been digging through all the footage and audio I captured at the show, and there’s a lot to sort through. I’m putting together a Best of NAMM video with the stuff that really stood out to me and that’ll be up this Saturday. See you soon!

Yesterday was all about checking out some new samplers and synths. I won’t be able to make it back today, but I’ll have a Favorites from NAMM video out later this week with longer demos and more detailed thoughts on the gear.
Swipe through for a few highlights from the day.

A few of my favorites from NAMM Day 1.
There’s always a lot to take in on the first day, so I shared some quick thoughts and audio clips here if you want a closer look:

I’ll be heading back on the floor today, so if there’s anything you want me to check out or take a closer look at, let me know in the comments.

Getting ready for NAMM 2026 in a few days. I’ll be walking the floor and checking out what’s new in the sampler, DAWless, and music production world. Is there anything you’d like me to take a closer look at while I’m there? Post it in the comments and I’ll try to check it out and cover it on the channel.
I’ll be sharing a few shorts from the show during the week, and I’m planning to put together a Best of NAMM video once I’m back.
Here’s the small setup I’m bringing to film quick demos on the floor. I always keep things lightweight, with a sampler in the mix that can also double as an audio interface for captures into Logic.
If you’re going to be at NAMM and see me around, come say hi.
