Sequencing your samples and creating full tracks is incredibly easy with the Smpltrek.

The ten audio tracks can be assigned as sample looping, MIDI, single-shot, one drum track and instrument tracks; the instrument tracks act as a piano roll for any instrument you assign to them. The global tracks can record multiple takes, and you can splice them together to edit out mistakes.
