Tapko Stomp is an AUv3 audio trigger for live performance. It listens to your incoming audio and converts transients into MIDI notes, sample playback, or both. It's tailored towards live loopers but works for anyone that wants to be able to use any audio source to record MIDI.

Tapko Stomp is actively developed with continuous refinements, performance improvements, and new creative features inspired by real musicians.

Built for fast setup on stage:

• Insert Tapko Stomp on an audio track
• Route MIDI to your instrument (or load a sample directly)
• Dial in sensitivity and filter range
• Play with reliable trigger response

Features

• AUv3 effect with MIDI output
• Real-time transient detection tuned for percussive input
• Single trigger output with automatable MIDI note
• Trigger mode: MIDI, Sample, or Both
• Sample picker and clear
• Velocity-based triggering with improved dynamic response
• Velocity shaping: min, max, and multiplier
• Persistent velocity readout that holds until the next trigger
• Live trigger feedback, flash indicator, and velocity readout
• AU preset compatibility in supported hosts
• Preset persistence for selected sample files

Great For

• Live stomp sample triggering
• Layering one-shots on live drum sources
• Compact live rigs.

Use Tapko Stomp in AUv3-compatible hosts such as AUM, Loopy Pro, Cubasis, and other iOS DAWs that support AUv3 MIDI routing.

Indeed.

I’m trying to get Tapko Stomp working in Aum and I’m not having any luck.
Any hints or suggestions would be fantastic. Even better would be an Aum project with all the MIDI connections done.

It's a Drum/ sound/midi trigger the key is to check the advanced button to the right of the word "Detection" then scroll down to output section and load a sample or select midi or both. https://youtube.com/shorts/kfVrg9K3Dyk?si=_tNHVbolTNESLIcC

Thanks for the tutorial! I’ll try it out tomorrow

Is there a way to change the midi notes live with a keyboard ?

This brings to mind a vid i saw of …. A section of vinyl hiss and cracks were generated until the guy had a section of hiss and cracks with a rhythm he liked( 2 or 4 bars) And he esort of isolated the peaks (cracks) .., (possibly with ‘transients’ something like that i think) and had those transients converted into notes via streambyter (i think) and those notes according to their velocity (differant CCs) triggered a drum machine. I hope that made sense

This was all about ‘organic’ and ‘random’ ect ; and as convoluted as it was , it was kind of interesting. I mean the whole process and the philosophy was interesting. Im sure the guys on here know more about that than me.

Can this app convert transients into CCs? As in the above description

I just brought this app so ill check it out later, i noticed it has a quick start
