  • Exactly what we need on iOS!

    Audiolayer is a traditional Sampler. If you're looking for fancy beat-slicing, Sample Mangling and Granular, look elsewhere. However, for those of us who come from a traditional Sampler background (think old-school Roland Samplers), Audiolayer is very reminiscent of that workflow. It's as straight forward as it gets. Load in your samples, map them including velocity layers, add some effects from the very capable built in effects section and you've got yourself and old school Sampler on a modern digital platform. Hopefully we'll get some updates, because IMO this is a very underrated Sampler!

    Great work VirSyn!!!!

  • Excellent!

    Finally an actual iPad sampler whose functions are not buried beneath trendy bells and whistles. I had no problem air-dropping in samples from my laptop. So easy! I was able to quickly build a multisample instrument with over 20 samples, each with their own unique settings. So far I've worked mainly on the "zone" level but am looking forward to exploring the other editing levels. I am using it solely as a stand alone app so I can't address any plugin issues. I also don't quite understand the "scope" situation; specifically why the default is having it off for each zone. I hope the future manual will explain the whole "scope" thing more thoroughly.

    On the top of my wish list is deeper real time midi control over editing functions. Specifically I'd love to be able to control sample start and loop points via midi cc. That would be excellent! But over all, Virsyn continues to amaze.

  • Au crashes in GB when attempting merge.

    Crash confirmed on 2 ipads using ios 12
  • Great but no manual

    Like many other app designers this company makes great apps but then a musician who needs to know how it works needs a manual, sure there is on screen help which does help a little. Please provide a manual, even a toaster that you stick bread in gets a manual. Its a really great program which is let down by instructions. I have so far had no crashes. Also a youtube Demo would really help... thanks

  • Powerful, but unstable

    This is the best sampler I’ve found on iOS, feature wise it’s near identical to Logic’s EXS24...

    But, like the current POTUS, it’s dangerously unstable...

    It crashes within a few minutes every time I use it, stand-alone or hosted as an Audio Unit in GarageBand. Which is a real shame, especially considering the price tag.

    For reference, I’m using Audio Layer on a 126gb iPad Mini 3 running iOS 11.3

    Honestly I’d like a refund, but given what this app could be, I’d rather it just worked.

  • Very basic so far

    the transposition of samples is very basic, no keeping time so cant really use for chords unless you multisample. Seems to really choke as au in BeatMaker 3
  • Completely useless.

    I go into Audioshare and try to load a sample into Audiolayer but does Audiolayer even load that sample.Not at all and I get kicked out.It just goes back to the screen where all my other apps are.This app is not even worth the 14.99 I paid for.There are other samplers that do way better and cost less.

  • Wow

    Over the top amazing. I dont think any other app comes anywhere close to what can be done with samples in audiolayer. Get ready to create super cool layered sounds with a ton of control. I have not found any missing features, only more than i ever expected. I am still discovering things after a few days of intense usage.
    Wow.

  • No manual, importing exs is clear as mud.

    Bought because of new update touting exs format import. However, there’s zero documentation for how that is done.
  • Ipad air crashes

    App after 3 minutes crashes all the time
