Labor of Love
This is really a labor of love. And gets you closest to having a 1200 without paying thousands of dollars. It’s years in the making and the developer is always working on the next update, slow but steady. If you spend any time with the app you can tell they put a lot of effort in the small details too.
I bought the desktop version also to have it, and to support the developer.
And what you get for the price is outstanding. This definitely needed a more recent review, always excited to see what comes next.

Great app but a few bugs
This is a really good app and I like it a lot but at the moment there are a couple of bugs. I’m on IPad Pro the sample editor is really fiddly if you’re struggling use two fingers one above and then another gesture with one to the right. Use two fingers to scroll through samples in sample library. Took me ages to work this out.

Appreciation
Thank You For This App Sitrukain
Good sampler
Thx broski
Reminiscing of the good old days!
This app is definitely a masterpiece it got me reminiscing if when I had my original Sp-12 back in 1989
Great app but a few bugs
This is a really good app and I like it a lot but at the moment there are a few bugs which make it really awkward to use. The main one for me is in the sample library that I cannot scroll through my samples I can scroll through folders but when I open a folder, it kind of freezes and won’t let me scroll through my samples making it very hard to use. There are also some glitches sometimes on the when using sample editor that waveform doesn’t match what’s being edited. I hope these will get sorted soon and then it will be an amazing app. I am using it on the iPad Pro.

I found a bug
when using the search feature, the application treats letters assigned to pads as triggers, which makes it impossible to type letters from a to z.
Additionally, on the iPhone 13 mini the notch slightly covers some interface buttons.

I want to love this app, but still some shortcomings
I really like all the new menu additions to this app compared to the original machine; multi chop, internal EQs and filters would have been a dream to have on the hardware versions. This app keeps falling short from minor bugs that simply make me have to abandon a working project and scrap everything.
Any time I’m in the sound library to load sounds, somehow the screen zooms in where I can only see and access pads 2 to 7, and I can no longer see or access the rest of the user interface. This has also happened with the text keyboard popping up on accident to rename a sample and I have to totally close the app and start fresh again.
If there was a way to recover the last unsaved state of a project, it would be a lifesaver. Another addition that would help this app tremendously would be having the step sequencer like the OG machine for us that don’t want to live on the grid so we can have more control over programming (Tapping out on high resolution does not give the same effect).
I’ll keep an eye out for more updates in hopes that I can finally really enjoy this app and get my money’s worth.

was ok before the update
Sound is distorded since last update fix it please. Ipad 10th gen
Classic sound on your iPad
It makes my heart happy to know that someone took from his time in order to make this happen. This is a legendary sampler that now (2025) we can enjoy in our iOS devices. Definitely looking forward to make a lot of beats in here specially boom bap and house music! Thanks to the developer for pursuing his passion and love for this vintage sampler machine!!

Великолепно
Команда начала работу над новой версией , я в них верю !!!
Awesome Replication!
Great SP1200 emulator sounds exactly like a real unit. Update made workflow much easier, keep up the good work. I wish we could have 8 outs into AUM. Peace
Super
Really fun app!
This app is killer! But..
There are a few bugs I’ve come across.
1. The app won’t allow me to give permission to view files in the settings app, only permission to use microphone. I’m on iOS 17.6.1.
2. There’s a graphic bug when I want to use the app in landscape. It turns the iPhone SP1200 UI into the iPad SP1200 UI but it remains vertical.
3. Note repeats seems a tiny bit buggy. It now overlaps the sound rather than cutoff the sound and play it thru the note repeat like before the reconstruction update. An example would be like when I’m adding 1/16th hats over 1/8th hats, it makes the 1/8th hats sound louder because the note repeat is over lapping the sound. Maybe that is a bug.
4. There’s no gain, mixer and metronome sound knobs in the iPhone UI. It only appears when I tilt my phone in landscape and use the iPad UI and change it there.
Hope this feedback helps. I still rated the app 5 stars!

Aliasing for all
The earlier reviews were fair, but version 2 fixed those issues and the app is now pretty fluid especially when using a computer keyboard along with it. Great sp1200 workflow and sound!

De loin la meilleur application du monde vous en rêviez, low hiss la fait
Potential
Definitely has potential, but has issues which prevent me from getting much use of it right now: I still can’t load samples from files, as the app doesn’t properly request permission for access to storage and instead directs me to a settings page that only exists on android. Also I’m not entirely sure why my phone needs to have silent mode turned off if ringer volume and media volume are separate. All other music and media apps work fine in silent mode.

big up to low hiss the developer
This update has really stepped up the eSPi app. Nothing is closer to the SP1200. All my other drum machine apps are now redundant. Low Hiss is GENIUS.
Überragende Sample App
Mit dem neuen Update ist die App richtig gut geworden, der klassische SP1200 Style wurde perfekt emuliert und noch besser gemacht. Sound ist für eine App wahnsinnig gut, im Vergleich zu Hardware Samplern ein echter Money Glitch
