Good but crashes frequently

Good sampler but does crash when loads more than a couple samples in a close time frame

Hardware rival

Dawnbeat makes me wonder if there is a need for hardware samplers. The features of this sampler rival hardware versions especially considering portability.
Dawnbeat is also easy on the eyes. The user interface and color customization make it easy to adjust for your visual needs. Give it a try. The ease of use is a win for me.

Made potential but broken

App has the potential to be dope but it’s broken. Lose all my work every time I reopen app and sequencer doesn’t work. Better as an instrument than an actual standalone app.

Super amazing sampler

Opened it back up today and looks like the bugs I reported are fixed plus there's newer stuff. Cheers!

ORIGINAL REVIEW: I love this app. Hoping for an update that fixes ran into bugs. Present bugs: unplugging/plugging in headphones killing audio playback, locking the device and reopening into app killing audio playback.
