Choppa downloads
Worldwide, per day, and installs to date. The band is open; the exact number is free with an account.
How this is calculated
Apple publishes no download counts. iPhone downloads come from chart positions and daily rating growth per country, calibrated on Google Play install counts; lifetime installs from ratings worldwide × installs per rating. Confidence is the chance the real number is within half to double ours.
Active users
All platforms, worldwide. Free with an account.
Stickiness (DAU / MAU)
how many monthly users open it on a given day
How this is calculated
Monthly users come from lifetime installs across every store, fitted on monthly active user figures companies publish; daily users = monthly × the typical daily/monthly ratio for the category. Confidence is the chance the real number is within half to double ours.

About Choppa
Record into your mic. Chop it to pads. Play it like an instrument. Now scratch them like vinyl and play in chord progressions.
Choppa is a lightning-fast audio sampler and slicing tool built for songwriters, beatmakers, and live performers. Record through your mic and instantly map audio across playable trigger pads. Auto-chop on transient or pitch detection — switch between 4 / 8 / 16 pad layouts without losing any of their per-chop settings.
PERFORMANCE GESTURES
Tap to trigger. Hold to sustain. Drag a single finger up and down on a pad to slide pitch in real time — ±2 octaves without lifting.
Drop a second finger anywhere on the screen and any held chop slows like a record being touched. Move the second finger and you scratch in either direction. Lift to release the platter — a force-based exponential inertia model (modeled on real turntable physics, not a linear fade) ramps back to nominal speed. Spread your fingers wider and the scratch responds more gently — a "grip pressure" metaphor borrowed from real decks.
The chop view and minimap both work as scrub surfaces. The minimap ignores chop boundaries entirely — drag freely across the whole loop as one continuous tape.
CHORD PLAY
PERF mode has two flavours: SCRATCH for turntable gestures and CNFG for chord play. CNFG's MONO/POLY toggle controls whether each pad press chokes the previous (one voice at a time) or lets multiple voices stack while held — piano-key hold-to-play for chord progressions, sustained harmonies, and layered counter-melodies.
CHOPPING
Auto-chop detects transients or pitch boundaries automatically when you record or import a sample, with sensitivity knobs for each. Drag chop edges manually, set per-section pitch and gain, enable reverse, and pick between off / forward loop / ping-pong on any chop. Three pad-count layers (4 / 8 / 16) are fully independent — switch between them and all per-chop settings stay intact.
INPUT SOURCES
Pick what feeds Choppa: any mic capsule (front / back / bottom / USB / AirPods), the two royalty-free streams that ship with the app, or any HTTPS audio URL you paste in. Record from any of them.
RECORD MODE
A dedicated REC mode for capture work, with an ARM safety pin — destructive full re-record requires a deliberate ARM tap so a stray REC press can't write over a take. Punch-in records into a single chop's region only, with single-level undo — perfect for fixing a flubbed beat without losing the rest.
WIRELESS TO YOUR DAW
Ableton Link Audio — Choppa's master mix appears as a track-input source in Live, Loopy Pro, AUM, GarageBand iOS, and any Link 4 peer on the same Wi-Fi. Tempo syncs at the same time. No USB cable, no virtual audio device.
PLUGIN INSIDE YOUR DAW
Full AUv3 plugin support — load Choppa inside GarageBand, Logic Pro for iPad, AUM, Loopy Pro, or any Audio Unit host as either an Instrument (play chops via host MIDI) or an FX (capture the host's audio for chopping). MIDI mappings persist per host.

Latest updates
1.10.0
1.10 is the library-and-capture update.
— SNAPSHOTS. The whole rig under a name: all four banks and every setting, saved and restored on purpose. Title menu. Choppa still resumes where you left it on its own — this is for going BACK to a rig.
— Arm, and the screen becomes the input: a live spectrum with the real dB ceiling, and the last second of the mic as a waterfall. ARM is yellow now; REC stays red. Stop and the pads come back holding the take, already chopped.
— Recording in PERF or SEQ, the pads ARE the meter. Each holds a slice of the thirty seconds, so the grid fills as you use the room up, and the level ripples out from the write head.
— DUPLICATE BANK — the whole bank, audio and chops and sequence and colour, into another one you pick. It flies there.
— Tap a library item and choose which bank it lands in, in the same picker import uses.
— EXPORT CHOPS drops every chop into a named folder. Export the sequence as a wav.
— WATERFALL DETAIL: standard, fine, ultra. Fine is the one for drums.
— Keys and MIDI notes lay into the sequence now, not just play it. Space is play/stop on the Mac.
— The library opens fast, landscape stops cutting menus off, and the panels lost their walls of text — one info button annotates a screen when you want it.
