KANTAN Sampler Manual

A sampler is an electronic instrument that lets you assign sounds to buttons, trigger sound effects and make music.

KANTAN Sampler combines sample playback, songwriting, DJ-style performance and music playback in one handheld instrument.

A large full-color display clearly shows the functions available at each moment, so you can start exploring sounds without memorizing every control.
