very glad I downloaded however a few more things would,
benefit so immensely it might even begin to rival AudioShare:
1. Its a pain to toggle a sample to loop the way it is now, if there was a way to loop it in a single click or swipe, like, you hold the pad and drag it up then let go, the pad falls back into place but it is now looping. tap, hold, drag up and let go again and it stops looping. something like that or even just a button under each pad
2. If there was an option to export samples separately, unchained. And if not, add a good 5+ seconds between each sample so when we go to chop it back up its easier. often i will have samples of similar volume and audio wave shape and it looks like one sample. so i chop it out, and then after Ive chopped them all im like, wait... wheres THAT sample? and i go back and yepp, it was RIGHT after the sample that was similar in wave length and shape, i could not tell where the samples started and ended without zooming WAY in and then its just an annoyance.
3. I read in the desc. something about dragging samples into koala? Im glad that you must have made it easier. im about to try it, but if you could somehow get each sample to apply to the next empty pad in the iOS app youre dragging and dropping into, that would be a game changer. seriously. or even just one at a time. again, im about to go check it out but i really hope its not like, you can now drag the entire sample chain into one koala pad then you gotta split it all up..
either way, AWESOME app. helps so much when low on inspiration or creative block... dont stop improving it!!! thank you for this app and for reading my feedback :)

Thank you very much. You can export samples individually of course. Tap the export button and there are two options.
Fire! One request?
Total game changer - so necessary. Any chance you’ll make this available on Mac? Really need something along these lines for the MacBook desperately. Would happily pay again. Twice. 🙏
Response from developer
I'll try porting this one. Fingers crossed :)
Time saving!
Thanks for the app. It is filled with shortcuts to build kits and organize. That said…when exporting a crate into a “sample chain”…the audio is slightly raised in pitch within that “sample chain” that was created. I assume a quick fix on your end will sort it out. Thanks again.
Edit: The sample chain pitch issue has been fixed!! Thank you Alex!

Thanks. Should be fixed Edit: I'm super glad it is!
Useful and easy to use!
Very useful and even more so since it’s possible to save crates! Fast and simple to use! Great tool to preview and group multiple samples and export them in a single operation.
Response from developer
Thank you. I'm super glad you like it
Fills a growing need
I have 55GB of samples scattered all over my fileshares and this streamlines my workflow already so I can audition and load quickly and get on with the business of music making. Thanks to the dev. for making this and saving my time.
Response from developer
Thank you. I am so glad you find it useful
Very Promising
Update: Thank you for adding the sample time bar! Awesome and much easier to find the perfect sample.
Problem, when I add samples to the ‘crate’ and try and export a sample chain or individual samples, the resulting file has no audio and a file size of 4kb. This is exporting to Cubasis3 and BeatMaker 3.

Love the idea and the usefulness. One thing that is really needed is scrubbing/waveform view so you can scan through a sample easy. Right now it always starts from the beginning. If you have acapellas, it’s good to scan through to the hook to see how it sounds. A great app and looking forward to seeing it develop further!

IOS Musician Must Have
How can anyone give this almost free incredibly handy and indispensable utility anything but 5 stars? Oh yeah it's the selfishness pandemic in action. Everyone only cares about what they want so they make the developer suffer until he adds a feature they want. Sending an email is too much trouble. It makes me laugh when I see a 3 star rating after reading the review saying how great the app is and will give 5 stars if the app has the features he wants. If the app is great you give 5 stars and send the dev an email suggesting things. You don't screw sales for your features. You don't take off a star for every feature you desire. Think about others besides yourself. It's not only about you.

Thank you very much. I really needed it. And you’re absolutely right. I’m gonna frame your review
Potential....
This is a great start. Basic manual would be helpful.
Response from developer
It has one on YouTube. But apparently I forgot to link it Also… it’s a file browser like Files app. I’m assuming everyone knows how to use that
Surprising Results!
This app is great. It’s extremely useful if you use samples for making music and like to keep your stuff organized. Especially if you download files from the internet!
Since installing Sample Crate, I’ve discovered just how messy my downloaded files really are. It seems the various apps I download things with all put them in different and unexpected places of the “On this iPad” folder and my iCloud. Sample Crate has been an interesting view into the weird file management in iOS.

Thank you. Same here. I've discovered old songs I forgot about
much needed addition to ios music making
thanks for this alex.
great to see a long time ab forum member
become a music app creator.
for moving created kits into bm3 would the easiest way be to tag and import via files app?
all the best with this.

Thanks. I usually open up Sample Crate over BM3 in slide over an drag them over one by one. They don't support dragging multiple samples like Koala does
