COMPA

Your whole hardware studio. One screen.

Everything talks. Everything stays musical.

Compa is the connective tissue between grooveboxes, AUv3 apps, sampling, stems, clips, arrangement, modulation, and mixing. It turns an iPhone or iPad into the center of a hardware-first music-making setup.

From spark to finished structure

Sketch freely. Commit when it feels right.

Fetch, Clips, and Arrange are not separate islands. They are stages of the same idea, from first generation to live performance to a finished timeline.

Compa Fetch workspace

Fetch

01

Start with an idea.

Generate chords, bass, melody, drums, and atmosphere. Keep what works, change what does not, and shape sections before committing to a timeline.

Compa Clips workspace

Clips

02

Launch it. Keep it editable.

Turn sketches into scenes, trigger sections, and keep MIDI and audio flexible while the song is still finding its form.

Compa Arrange workspace

Arrange

03

Turn the performance into a song.

Build the timeline, edit regions and automation, add recorded takes, and export the finished arrangement.

More than a timeline

The tools around the song matter too.

Compa combines the workflows that usually require a stack of separate apps, while keeping each one deep enough to stand on its own.

Compa Chomp

Chomp

Sample. Sequence. Perform.

Record directly to pads, chop audio, build kits, sequence patterns, route four buses, and perform with integrated effects.

Compa Quota Stems Lab

Quota Stems Lab

Separate a song. Remix the pieces.

Run four-stem separation on device, detect tempo and cue points, then publish editable stems to Clips and Arrange.

Compa Quota Kits

Quota Kits

Build a kit once. Send it anywhere.

Organize up to 128 pads, import samples, preserve sequences, and export useful kit formats for the tools you already use.

Compa Mix

Mix

Hardware, apps, and tracks. One mixer.

See the whole signal path, host AUv3 inserts, use sends and buses, and route each source to the destination that makes sense.

Compa Modulation

Modulation

Make every parameter move.

Create synced or free-running LFOs, draw motion, build rhythm chains, and carry automation into patterns, clips, and arrangements.

Compa Device control

Device control

See the signal. Control the machine.

Compatible gear receives a purpose-built card with scopes, controls, keys, patterns, routing, and device-aware guidance.

Hardware-first, not hardware-only

A card for the machine in front of you.

Compa recognizes supported devices and exposes the controls that make sense for each one. Class-compliant gear can still join the session for audio and MIDI even when it does not have a custom profile yet.

Available capabilities vary by device, connection, operating system support, and what the hardware itself exposes.

Compa for Raspberry Pi is preserved.

The open-source Raspberry Pi edition started the story. It is no longer the actively developed Compa product, but its page, source, and MIT-licensed history remain available.
