A SERIOUS SAMPLER

I still have my EMU sampler from the 90’s but I don’t know why. This blows it clean away in every way.

Эдакий NI Kontakt на минималках))

Приложение крутое! И, как это часто бывает с таковыми, требует к себе немного внимания для чтения мануала. Лично для меня оно стало незаменимым! Могу выделить 2 киллер фитчи этой проги - возможность семплирования round robin, что позволяет тонко настраивать акустические инструменты (я так портировал на айпад стаккато струнных из библиотеки Free orchestra от ПроджэктСэм’а. Перенес вавки из папки Samples, раскидал по слоям с функцией round robin - и вуаля, фирменные струнные на iOS). И еще одна фишка - назначать разные слои на колесо модуляции, например колесо вниз - стаккато, вверх - легато для быстрого переключения артикуляций инструментов. (Кстати, возможность назначать разные артикуляции на кейсвитчи, как в Контакте, тоже имеется). Замечено: если хочется создать навороченный инструмент, типа назначить несколько слоёв на колесо модуляции вниз, несколько на колесо вверх, то будет лагать, и это печально, ведь функционал программы позволяет наворачивать. Ещё из недостатков могу отметить отсутствие кнопки Undo, вот это иногда вводит в ступор, когда случайно смахиваешь какую-то зону/ноту и потом иной раз приходится гадать чего куда смахнул вместо того, чтобы просто отменить действие)) Ну и лично мне не хватает функции Time stretch для подгона сэмплов под темп проекта, как это сделано в BM3. Пару слов про импорт exs - простые тембры импортирует норм, если что-то посложнее (exs рояля или ударной установки - инструмента, где много слоёв), то импорт часто некорректный и нужно будет допиливать/ досэмплировать.
В итоге получаем классный сэмплер с широкими возможностями, который в потенциале может стать идеальным. Спасибо разработчикам!

GigaSampler!

Please, add GigaSampler .gig libraries full support like Safta Consulting have done with G-Player.

A lot of those wonderful libraries are still relevant today and are just waiting a reader to be used again, now that an iOS/iPadOS device can have 1 or 2 terabytes of storage and more than decent reading time access.🙏

iPad Pro M5

Purtroppo su iPad Pro M 1 funzionava cambiato iPad con pro M5 non funziona più reinstallato ma non si apre

Does not work well with VG Trumpet

I bought so I could run VG Trumpet on my iPad. The problem may be I have an older iPad that uses OS 17. But I cannot load VG samples.

Problem with reverb efx also after last update

On my iPad M4 18.7.1 I have problem with reverb efx. When I add to a preset the dsp increase suddenly and there isn’t sound. If I power off the reverb the sound returns.

quite buggy, but almost without competition

Still new in the mobile section of music creation. Quite shocked about the lack of good AUv3 samplers, specifically when it comes to multi-sampling instruments! Maybe it’s not in demand, who knows. As far as I can see there’s only one competitor on the market for the task of multi sampling and that one cannot import .exs files. But Audio Layer really sucks when it comes to automation or mapping MIDI controls. So I’ll go and try the other one…

Buggy and abandoned

Great feature set, but has bugs, does not seem to be maintained, support enquiries were ignored

Best Sampler in IOS & For Live on Stage Playing!

First, this Sampler is absolutely a must have for anyone who wants to backup their virtual or hardware synths. I love how simple and intuitive it is for sampling your hardware synths as well as software synths you own.
For me, instead of having to haul my beloved old Korg Trinity V3 to church for worship on Sundays, I made AudioLayer instruments and all the samples are in my iPad or iPhone! No need to haul my heavy beloved Synth anymore!

Thank you Mr. Developer for continuing to support such an amazing App!

The built in effects are top pro level and make your presets sound complete and ready for the stage!

One wishlist which would really make this a game changer for live on stage playing:

Could you allow to have the Instrument Select Screen to remain Open when the app is being controlled via a midi keyboard? This would allow me to switch instruments instantly especially when playing live with a band. Currently, it closes once an instrument is selected, which forces me to open the instrument select screen again. This is a no go for live situation.

I truly hope this request isn’t too difficult to code. But I thank you in advance as this amazing app truly opens a whole new world for gigging musicians!

In summary, AudioLayer is truly a blessing for me as I can now have all my favorite hardware or software sounds on my iPad or iPhone and be playable with a midi controller on stage ready to worship the Lord Jesus Christ Amen!

I highly recommend this app!

FX bugs

Hello! I use iPad Pro 11 (M4). There is a problem in the effects block. The sound disappears when the reverb and chorus effects are turned on. Your latest update does not fix this bug. I really hope for your help.

Can’t download purchased sound packs

Unable to download the sound packs after reinstalling the app. Hope it will be fixed soon

Looked good but light support and hard to figure out

I've been trying to map multiple samples to a midi keyboard for a couple of weeks now. Not that intuitive and nowhere to contact Virsyn for support except for their X account, and that's a waste of time. I had great hopes for this app.
Example: trying to sample 3 instruments from Everything Counts by Depeche Mode and map them to separate non-overlapping zones on my external keyboard. Still working on it 2 weeks later - it should be way more intuitive - please make a video or something!

Import not working

Despite attempting to load samples and sound fonts for several hours, it fails every time, along with multiple crashes. Deleted.

Soundfont import 9.99 app is unfit for purpose.

Should have been there from the start . Tip…convert to sfz And import, unless that’s cynically been removed. Yes it been crippled. Words can’t describe how poor and unstable this app is, irs simply unfit for fkn purpose. 2024 It gets worse crashes zenbeats . Absolutely useless , more interested on money grabbing on pointless iap’s.

Super

Bravo 🎉🎊🍾🎈

Manual?

Did latest update and manual disappeared. Useless without.

Pitch

Logic Pro M4 iPad

Pitch alters to negative 24 after stop playing tracks in logic. Pain in the but having to keep going back to Audiolayer instruments and adjusting pitch back to 0 ever sing time. Fix please.

Audiolayer,Xinematix, macOS

Audiolayer and Xinematix do not work on macOS. The combination only works on the IPad. How do I get the sounds from Audiolayer from the IPad into Logic Pro on the Mac?
