Good

Very good, made some beats out of sounds from places I’ve gone, which is a great way to remember things

It would be five stars if it wasn't broken

Awesome idea and great execution up until every sample I recorded started automatically turning into unintelligible noise at the point of automatic cuts the program does. Please tell me how to fix it or add the option to turn off automatic cutting all together. Thanks.

Crashes fixed

Thank you devs for helping fix my crashing Flip app. It was indeed an issue with a corrupt project. This app is the best!

A little limiting

Ich bewerte mit test und warenstift Gut.
Samples lassen sich einfach laden.
Die patterns erlauben einem ein komplettes Recording zu machen, da diese in reihenfolge abspielbar sind und standardmäßig quantisiert sind.

Folgendes nervt hart.
Die steuerung von zwei finger und der Zoom ins piano roll.
Das Piano roll ist nicht bespielbar, sodass man damit aufnehmen kann. Heißt Melodien sind schwer zu konzipieren, da man wirklich lange braucht bis die Zoom Funktion greift und wenn sie greift hat man in etwa eine beschreibbare Oktave. Die Quantisierungs Einstellung sind ok at best.
Es heißt flip sampler, es gibt aber nur 4 fx und ein tatsächlicher Sample editor ist kaum bis nicht existent.


Mein Fazit ist, es lassen sich Ideen schreiben. Bis ich diese jedoch aufgenommen habe hab ich die schon vergessen, da man drölf weitere schritte machen muss um zum gewünschten Ziel zu kommen.
Wer das ernsthaft lernt und nicht nur als spiel sieht ist hier falsch.

Lernt eine richtige DAW
Sorry andrew.

Automation settings don’t persist

Automation settings don’t persist when snapping (0) is selected. Every time I close I have to reset this for each automation track. It could be a really easy fix I am sure. I love this sampler otherwise but some of the bugs make it borderline unusable.

My person probably waited a bit long for the update to happen, glad I did.

I just wanna report the update is good.

I originally had problems with importing my files in flip now, intua beat maker wav files work. Bm3 file format does not. Not a problem!!

My current state of problem is the sequenced framed window I can not long press to quantize inside file window.

And where is the save button or save as???

If the above r targeted for my personal use this is an all in mobile d. a. W. Then next integration with other apps where flip play nice outside of ableton live like AUM, eg nodes, etc.

Au3 please

Wish this was an au3 I could use inside Aum . It crashed constantly when using inter app audio. Otherwise it’s useful.

Fabulous but not WORKING

I worked
Successfully with Flip after purchasing it, until upgrading iPhones from a 12 Pro Max to a 15 Pro Max. Since that time, FLIP HAS NOT LAUNCHED successfully ONCE. I would love to get back to using this workstation because it is absolutely SUPERB … but, well, I could use some feedback here. The app has stopped working.

****************************
Flip is working great again on iPhone. I tried suggested remedies without success and then suddenly it was just working again. I still love this app!

Crashing constantly

I bought this app for the sample Start and new Looping automation, but it’s not that easy to control to use - seems very hit and miss, and I’m getting glitches when drawing automation using the pen tool - masses of peaks generated drawn instead of a smooth line, and the ‘Q’ feature doesn’t seem to have any additional perimeters for more precise editing.

Regretting this purchase so far.

Update: no fixes, still crashing. Seems to be abandoned.

Response from developer

Sorry for the late reply. The Q feature is dependent of the Zoom factor. Could you record a video with the crash and contact us, otherwise it's hard to find out the reason for the crash: https://www.flipsampler.com/contact

Crashing

I loved this app. And then it stopped working. Crashes on my iPad mini upon open. Cmon devs, please fix!

The metronome isn’t working (Bug)

I love this app. Do fix it :)

Response from developer

Thanks, we are happy to hear that :) Does the metronome never work for you? Or under which circumstances does it not work? Please contact us via flipsamper.com/contact

Key Detection

I’m still having issues with the “copy, duplicate, quantize...” menu. It won’t appear unless I tap the scroll bar. I also see this bug in some review videos on YouTube so I believe it’s an old issue.

The Key Finder is messing up everything more than helping. It rarely find the right key, so I have to change the key manually every time . I love the app because it forces you to create with less sample slots/tracks but some meaningful updates would be nice.

Hm, can you send us a screenshot? Can not experience that issue

Not be trusted in a live situation

The app still crashes often when adjusting midi paterns. Then data is lost. Additionally it is almost impossible to make a good pattern, because the app doesn’t really do precise finger placement and the midi roll is just way to small for a phone .

Very Goog

really beautiful, useful and easy to use. After 5 minutes I knew how to use it well

One of my favorite sampling apps, but could use some improvement.

Flip can definitely be used to make some great beats. It’s logically laid out, intuitive to learn, generally fun to use, and can do a lot, despite being limited to 9 sample pads (unlike the multiple banks of 16 pads each on an app like the IMPC). The help function is very useful and well-implemented. I love this thing overall, and it’s easier to use than the IMPC, but it does have some areas where operation can be frustrating and could be improved.

I don’t know how feasible it’d be to have separate mixer settings, FX settings and samples for each pattern within a program, but it’d be highly useful and much appreciated. I can live without that, though. Limitations can breed creativity.

More importantly, I’ve found the multitrack tape recorder and stem export functions to be buggy—which is frustrating, because they’re also incredibly useful for getting the sequences into a DAW as a multitrack session…when they work right. My stem tracks have randomly come out incomplete and different lengths (or with no sound) for no apparent reason; then when I try again with the same settings, everything renders perfectly and with matching lengths. Nasty clipping distortion also happens much more easily on rendered tracks than is audible when listening in the mixer; I’ve often had to re-render stems several times in a row, with elements of the mix turned down more and more, before I could get a clean result. The app also seems to have crashed on me a couple times, but it’s constantly autosaving, which is a fantastic feature that helps make crashes much less frustrating.

Despite the sometimes annoying drawbacks, this app is fantastic value and I’d recommend it. Just be aware that it’s seemingly not perfect. Hopefully the stuff I describe will be fixed (or it’s all just the result of me doing something wrong). The app’s definitely still fun and useful overall.

Could be great if it weren’t so buggy

I want to love this app. Typically it’s a great tool for improvising & sketching out melodies & percussion ideas. But there’s unfortunately too much inconsistency & bugs with sample recording.

Half the time it works great - I hit the record button & hum a note or make some sort of drum sound with my mouth & flip automatically find the starting point. But more often it seems to just be latching onto a bit of noise (according to the waveform) or sometimes the waveform looks correct, but it just won’t play back my recording at all. Not sure if this is just a problem for me or if it’s a common occurrence. Other than that bug it’s usually a great & fun app.

Beautiful creative music App!, but.

I love making beats on this software and messing with it on my computer, this is a seamless process of recording samples, to recording session, to saving to my iCloud, to editing software it’s amazingly simple. I would give it 5 stars but have a simple grape with the app now won’t let me upload things to it to use not sure why but gives me an error, but other then that I love this app I like restarting sample pads so it wasn’t to much of an inconvenience. I do have a update idea, have the option to maybe edit names of the pads page and also maybe have the option to change the colors of them. That would be amazing to helping me decipher my pads lol. But thanks for making a great app!

Stürzt kurz nach dem Start ab !

Habe die App auf Grund eines Youtube-Videos gekauft, aber so ? Sehr schade !!!

Hallo, bitte kontaktiere uns doch bitte —> https://www.flipsampler.com/contact

New Update is Buggy

iPad Pro 2022 update seems to be buggy as hell. App crashes anytime i record a sample or if i choose to use the new loop envelope.

Any ideas?
