Best drum sampler

This is my favourite drum sampler. So fast to work with. Browsing samples a breeze. the edit controls also good. Just needs a normalize function to be perfect for me. No updates in the last year a bit concerning….but as it is it is already good.

Excellent

Exactly what I was looking for. Preview in place functionality is implemented well.

How do you do this?

The image above shows a dark mode. I’ve been to Settings - Sitala, nothing there. I’ve checked the elipses in the upper left in the program, and the only settings available is for MIDI. How do you get the dark mode?
The reason I rated 4 out of 5 is because you show a mode that doesn’t seem to exist?

Like almost all apps on iOS, Sitala just follows the system settings. When iOS is in dark mode Sitala is in dark mode. When it's in light mode, Sitala is also in light mode. Almost no apps on iOS have individually configurable settings.

Only one thing

This app would have gotten 5 stars if it had a way to delete browser location.

Response from developer

That's coming in the next release. It's already implemented.

Awesome sampler

The workflow is lightning fast. It contains all the major parameters you need to tweak per sample. Has midi mapping and the best, most unique feature is previewing and replacing samples as they play via swiping.

I hope development of this app continues, I don't particularly need any more features but would definitely appreciate them!

You can layer drums via multi-trigger of pads and save/export kits if you are afraid of losing/moving samples as this sampler loads samples in place which is great as long as you don’t move your samples later.

There are choke groups and an awesome integrated compressor that will makes your drums phat with the turn of a knob!

This is like a lite version of beathawk, lite as in faster and more efficient! It’s a workhorse and I’m surprised it’s not sitting in the top music apps list!

Only missing the 5th star as there’s been no updates for almost a year now.

@dev - I prefer dark mode but the theme should be set in app and not rely on ipad display settings to change it… some more (or custom) colour schemes would be nice!

Stand alone

This needs to have its own sequencer and patterned based sampler. The next koala sampler.

Yes

I dig it!

Idk why it says 3 stars when I hit 5 fo sho!!!
Because it is a killer sampler/drum machine!!!

Response from developer

Any particular reason for only 3 stars if you dig it? ;-)

EDIT: IT WORKS THANK YOU DECOMPOSER

Original review: I downloaded Sitala on iPhone to use as an AUv3 Audio Unit Extension for GarageBand but it doesn’t show up as an audio unit extension! Is this just an error on my end?? Help!

New: It works now. Thank you so much devs for getting back to me with support. I love using this sampler with GarageBand!
For anyone wondering, you can edit and quantize midi in GarageBand with this app as each drum pad sample is assigned to a key on the piano
