  • Inter audio with GarageBand

    This app is the bomb sampler but in GarageBand it doesn’t work. Name shows up as Sender with the icon. Please fix this because I love the layout. Love how we can change location of the sample section to accommodate button sequences, sweet. Quality sounds better in your app imo so can you fix the GB issue.

    Hey, first of all thanks for buying my app and taking the time to write a review! I really appreciate it. As for InterAppAudio... unfortunately it's been deprecated and it already started acting wonky for a lot of apps. The next thing to do is create an Audio Unit (AUv3). I'm already working on that but I don't have a timeline since it's much more complex than I thought :(
  • Doesn’t work with AUM.

    Non-starter for me.
  • Great chops. But

    Changing a duplicated pads chromatic sound is unknown. Recording appears to be unavailable. How do I record a melody of slices, with a record button that has no function. I imagine if the record button would record, it would record through the iPads microphone instead of an option to record the internal apps audio that was playing (for clarity). And that would not be original or ideal. Overall, great attempt so far.

    The record button is for sampling. But I made an update today. Should be out soon. It has this particular feature. You can record your performance.
  • Crashes

    Can’t use with my Bluetooth headphones. Crashes as soon as I open the Bluetooth menu.
  • Doesn’t work

    Try to use a wired midi controller and it won’t work. The only menu options are for Bluetooth settings, which just crashes. And the midi mapping option has nothing about finding the keyboard.

    This has been fixed in the latest update. Thanks for your feedback! It was an iOS 14 issue.
  • Crash

    Bluetooth option in settings shuts down the app on iPhone 12 Pro Max.

  • Issue with files

    For some reason, I can’t import my own downloads. I downloaded a sample from my computer, sent it to my phone, and now I can’t import it into the app. It’s the same thing for every audio file except splice samples

    Developer Response

    Hi. There's a feedback form in the app. It's easier to get in touch with me than giving a one star review for something that's probably because of the type of file you're importing. Please use that contact form and provide me the samples that are not working so I can investigate. Thanks.
  • An excellent start

    Samplist has a clean and (mostly) intuitive interface that’s straightforward about sampling. It may be one of the best standalone sampling apps you’re going to find.

    All that said, there are just a few things that would make it a five-star app:

    1. Most noticeable: setting slice boundaries is clumsy. Based on my experience with other apps, I expected to move the slice start time, not the length of the whole slice.
    2. You can only play one sample on the keyboard at a time. If you want multisampled instruments, you’ll have to go with something like Beatmaker 3.
    3. There’s no “save as” option — or if there’s a way to do it, I’m not finding it.
    4. No filter ADSR or looping, so … you get what you get.

  • Can’t sample songs I own

    Thought this app was for sampling your music not cheesy samples

    Developer Response

    The purpose of the app is to load and slice samples not sample your music. There are other apps that do this. I don’t see why the 1 star? Those “cheesy” samples are for demo purposes and royalty free. It is a good idea to import songs from your music library and I would’ve appreciated it if you used the feedback button to send it.
  • Update

    Thanks for the update on IOS 14 this is one of the best Sampling apps.

    Slice, chop, BMP time stretch, zoom in on the sample.

    Its own folder plus inter app.

    You be poping samples in an out like a old school pizza man in a bizzy pizzeria.

    If I could I’d give it 10 stars hands Down Nice.........
