Six out of Five
March 2018. I was looking for an app to sample various sounds around me and turn them into beats. I used to enjoy Beatmaker until it stopped working. Tried a few others. This is the one.
Recording samples and making tracks is very easy. Loved being able to trim the clips instantly and modify volume.
Some unexpected (good) surprises were the prebuilt library for the percussion tracks in the timeline editor, and being able to load clips from either the clipboard or Dropbox.
The only feature I could wish for is being able to swap the samples of two buttons quickly. (It is still possible to do this using cut and paste, but takes effort.)

Best iOS Sampler!
Ahhhh yeah, pitch and speed control! Keep the great updates coming!Zjenji
Just what I was after!
Simple to use but powerful!
Help menu is found via the new project screen if you haven’t figured it out. Explains how to import samples for those complaining it doesn’t.oOPowPowOo

You got it. The new version of Samplebot now supports Ableton Link - and Link Start Stop Sync too, at that.Wonderful sampler and great fun
I cannot believe the low ratings this app has gotten. It is called Samplebot. You make your own samples and get creative. You can also import sounds from AudioShare. It’s amazing and a joy to play with. Great way to quickly play with new musical ideas.Glass wedge
Great fun
It looks fairly simple, and fun to just play with the samples on the main screen. But there is more going on underneath, so watch the tutorials to find out how to create patterns, etc. Could use more implementation, but this looks to be a first iteration so probably more to come as time allows.drumbent
Excellent, needs some small fixes
I really love this app. Its easy to use, it responds and records quickly, and it is not complicated. My only concerns are the quantization occasionally moves the note where I don't want them (perhaps I need to be more accurate), but the biggest issue is it is incredibly difficult to maneuver the editor. The selector works alright, but zooming in and out is nearly impossible, and I end up moving notes when I don't want to. Also, the undo button is not obvious, and I never know if I accidentally moved something whether I will undo a mistake or a purposeful change. Its infuriating. If you can get by that, it is a fantastic app.
For those of you wondering, you can import voice memo recordings by going into the apple recording app and hitting the share button.Show lessMousearoo88

Thanks! I'll see what I can do about the zooming.No itunes sample import visible
Apps says sample import available and allows transfer from itunes but there is no way visible to then import them in the app. Very frustrating and still there is no manual available to clarify the situation! Why release an app without a manual or missing a key feature described?Basic cad user
Elegant UI For Sampling And Beatmaking
Samplebot records samples one sample at a time, just like the rest of the samplers. Except once the samples are loaded it makes gold records.
A lot can be said for a simple User Interface that gets the job done without being confusing. For the price I’m amazed it comes with a sequencer and sample trimmer. Many of the big DAW/iOS developers have yet to release a competing sampler that offers the basic functionality and ease-of-use of Samplebot.Show lessDamien Margo
I want a refund!
I wouldn't have bought this app if I knew it would be completely mic sounds! I want a refund! I thought there would be bass and other instruments as demonstrated in the preview video. Disappointed!Sarah69162

I'm sorry you're disappointed! Good news though: Samplebot 1.1 now supports importing from the Files document picker (iCloud Drive, Dropbox, Google Drive and other cloud services supported), the audio clipboard, the iTunes music library, as well as the import features from version 1.0: AirDrop, and importing from other apps.
