Sampling in the palm of your hand
The compact, DIY sampler that lets you record, chop, and perform your sounds anywhere.
Build It. Sample It. Play It.
Mynah is a compact, 6-voice polyphonic sampler you build yourself, powered by an ESP32 microcontroller and designed for musicians and sound explorers who want a truly tactile creative tool. Behind its approachable looks, Mynah hides a deep feature set including a 16-step sequencer, real-time and momentary effects like delay, reverb, filter, stutter, gate, and bit crusher. Mynah features dual audio inputs for recording from a microphone or line-in source. Samples are stored on SD card and loaded into RAM, giving you up to 16 samples per song and over two minutes of total sample capacity. Whether you’re programming beats, shaping textures, or performing live, Mynah puts serious sampling power in the palm of your hand.
Lo-Fi Soul. Hi-Fi Workflow.
Mynah‘s 16-bit, 32kHz ADPCM audio engine delivers the crunchy, characterful sound of classic samplers, while a companion web-based tool keeps your workflow modern and efficient. Manage your samples and songs, and export high-quality stems — all from your browser.
