One folder in.
A kit for every machine.
Drop in a folder of samples — or pull stems straight out of Quota Stems — and Quota Kits builds you a finished instrument: Ableton drum racks, Akai MPC and Force programs, key-group instruments, and numbered SP-404 / Koala / Maschine banks. Plus the one thing nothing else makes: a single pad holding up to 128 samples, with one knob that sweeps through them.

Stop building the same kit five times.
You already have the samples. The work is everything after — chopping them onto pads, then rebuilding that same kit by hand for the MPC, then again as a folder for the SP, then again in Ableton. Quota Kits lays it out once and sends it everywhere.
128 samples. One pad. One knob.
A normal pad plays one sound. A 128s pad holds up to 128 — every snare, every 808, every vocal chop — and gives you a single macro knob that sweeps through all of them. Map it to a fader or a MIDI Fighter Twister and audition a pack live. Draw it into your arrangement and the sound morphs with the song.
It’s a trick producers have built by hand for years. Quota Kits builds the whole thing the second you drop a folder on a pad — macro labeled, knob color-matched, done.
Built for the gear on your desk.
One layout, every target — drums, key groups, and folders, all from the same grid.
Ableton Live
A knob-swept Drum Rack (.adg) written straight into your User Library. 128s pads keep the full macro sweep — the labeled, color-matched knob and all.
Akai MPC / Force
Drum programs and keygroups (.xpm), folder-ready for the SD card — 128s pads fall back to velocity layers.
SP-404 MKII / Koala / Maschine
Numbered folders — 001_Kick, 002_Snare… in pad order — that import clean on any folder sampler.
Key groups
Play a sample chromatically across the keys, or spread every sample across the keyboard at once and let one knob pick which is keyed.
Hand it a messy pack. Get a playable kit.
Point Auto-Kit at a folder and it reads every filename, figures out what’s a kick, a snare, a clap, a hat, an 808, a vocal, an FX — thirty-some categories — and lays the kit out the way you would. Drums across the bottom rows, everything else above. Many of one type? They stack onto a single 128s pad instead of eating the grid.
And it lands them where you want them. The Pad Map is your preferred pad-per-type layout — kick here, snare there, 808 on that pad — set once. From then on Auto-Kit honors it on every folder you throw at it, so every kit you build feels like the same instrument under your fingers.
Set your layout once. Kits build it forever.
Every producer has a muscle-memory grid — kicks bottom-left, snares one over, hats up top, 808s on their own pad. Tell Quota Kits that layout once and it becomes your Pad Map: a preferred-pad-per-type plan it remembers across every kit you build.
No more dragging pads into place pack after pack. Drop a new folder and Auto-Kit drops each sound right where your hands already expect it — so the muscle memory carries from one beat to the next.
Pull stems straight in. Chop them onto pads.
Split a track in Quota Stems and the separation lands right here. Take any stem — the isolated drums, the bass, the vocal, a single drum-kit hit — and chop it onto pads, or fan a whole bank of chops onto one 128s rack with a knob to sweep them.
That’s the full Quota loop, fully offline: separate a song into clean stems, then flip those stems into a kit you can play on your MPC, your Force, your SP, or in Ableton — without a sample pack, a credit, or an upload.
Trim, truncate, normalize — without leaving the app.
An SP-404 / MPC-style waveform editor lives right in the window. Drag the start and end points to trim — non-destructively, so the markers ride into Ableton and the MPC and your file is never touched. Truncate when you want to bake the cut in. Normalize one sample, a whole 128s pad, or the entire kit.
It always writes copies. Your original samples are never modified or deleted.
Not just drums — playable instruments too.
Turn a folder of pitched samples into something you play across the keyboard, three ways.
Ableton — across keys
A multisample instrument rack: your samples mapped up the keyboard so the set plays chromatically.
Ableton — Selector-swept
Every sample spans the whole keyboard at once; a Select macro chooses which one is keyed — sweep a whole bank of basses live.
MPC keygroup (.xpm)
A keygroup program for the MPC / Force, mapped across keys — pick a folder and it’s ready for the SD card.
Eight color themes.
Recolor the whole app — grid, editor, and 128s pads — and it remembers your pick.
Everything in the app.
