I built a TUI sampler which cherry-picks my favourite features from modern & vintage hardware samplers, DAWs, plugins, outboard FX gear, and DJ equipment.
If you know what an AKAI MPC Live, MPC 3000, SP404, SP1200, BOSS RC-202, Alesis 3630, Serato Sample, S950 filters, and stem separation does, then you'll love seeing these "greatest hits" up in a terminal interface.
Last year while on vacation in Costa Rica, I started scratching my own itch for locating and organizing samples, which quickly evolved into adding more and more features while keeping it tactile and immediate. It was too fun to stop so I kept going. After a few days I was happily making beats in it, and since then it's only gotten better.
It's live and totally free to use, and works in macos & Linux (Windows soon). I'm about to launch v1.0 now, just working with folks in the community to round out the Factory Kits a little more for users new to beatmaking.
Turns out, making beats with no mouse and a terminal interface strikes the perfect balance of hardware feel and software power, and I'm loving the result. Been sharing it with folks in my beatmaking sphere and have plans to continue expanding its reach through more collaborations, contests, and in-person events.
Hope it brings you as much joy as it does to me :)
I love working on the terminal and this looks great, but can I ask why do you require to sign in? To be that's a bit of a downer :(
totally fair point! the medium/long-term roadmap is to layer in a BBS-esque community, so identity is required. more on this later! regardless, might be nice to have an unauthenticated / "Skip sign in" flow for the folks who just want to use the tool.
Was this previously open source? There's a broken link to a repo at the bottom of the marketing page that results in a 404.
it was not, so that's a mistake that's been fixed, thanks!
Adam, this is amazing!

It does what is says it does, zero friction.
Beautiful UI, I make some music from time to time, this is something I will definitely use.
This looks really cool. Bookmarked. I hope I can make some time to play with it. Nice work.
TUI triggered me, so I had to take a look... It appears the GitHub link on your landing page is 404?
Looks very promising! Unfortunately Docs and GitHub repo don‘t work
apologies, those broken links are misleading (docs coming soon, but not open source atm). Removed.
Is this based on Bubbletea TUI framework? The waveforms are pretty cool!
