Quota Kits keeps the pad map, sample editing and export together. Build for the hardware or DAW you use, with the samples packed alongside the program.

THE CONNECTED WORKFLOW
Build it. Put it on the pads.
- 01
Bring in your sounds
Load samples, run Auto-Kit on a folder, or import a Quota Stems export.
- 02
Make it playable
Put kicks, snares and other sounds where you expect them. Trim, truncate or normalize individual samples in the Pad Editor.
- 03
Choose your format
Build an Akai XPM drum program, an Ableton drum rack or a numbered sample folder. Song Kit and Remix Kit give you different ways to work with a complete song.
- 04
Put it on your Force
Enable Send to Force when finished, or send an existing export. HQ checks sample references and transfers everything to your chosen folder.
INSIDE QUOTA KITS
Three ways into a kit.
Song Kit
Build a section grid from a Stems export: song sections become rows and stems become columns. Include drum hits or loops according to your export settings.
Remix Kit
Combine a song’s stems with your own beat and build a project around the combination. Voice can start the same workflow from a confirmed command.
Selector Pads and sample editing
On supported Ableton exports, a Selector Pad lets one control move through a folder of sounds. Other formats use their own pad/sample layouts. Trim and edit before exporting.
RARE DATA HQ · FORMERLY QUOTA HQ
The destination is already there.
Connect your Force once in HQ. Browse its drives, make a folder and choose where the next set or kit should land. The transfer queue stays on your computer and verifies the files before marking them delivered.
Force delivery requires existing root SSH access and writable storage. HQ does not unlock firmware. Akai Force is tested; other MPC models still need hardware testing. Stems, Kits and Voice run on Mac and Windows. Linux HQ can send existing exports and install RD303.

COMPA is a separate App Store purchase. Its kit tools work inside the iPhone and iPad music workspace.
BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD
A few useful details.
What is included in the price?
Quota Kits is a one-time $9.99 desktop purchase. Try it first; the app shows your remaining trial exports. The $39.99 Quota Collection includes DS, FX and Kits.
Will the samples go missing after a transfer?
HQ checks the export’s sample references and sends the program/project with its referenced files. It verifies transferred bytes before marking the delivery complete.
Does every export preserve Selector Pads?
No. Selector Pads are an Ableton rack feature. XPM and numbered-folder exports use the sample/pad layouts supported by their destinations.
Is kit building available on iPad?
Yes, kit building is included inside COMPA on iPhone and iPad. COMPA is a separate App Store purchase; it is not an activation of the desktop license.
