### 1/5 — Horrible

*2024-03-06*

Wanted to play my irig keyboard through the app, but this app won’t do it

### 1/5 — ME MIDI

*2018-03-09*

App is NOT simple and/or immediate. Recent iPhone update rendered this app useless... becoming the norm everywhere.

### 4/5 — Background Audio

*2017-11-08*

Simple but solid sample player that fullfills my needs. Background Audio would be much appreciated to use it in combination with onsong. Trimming  (start point, end point, loop section) would be nice Zoo.

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2017-01-02*

This app is extremely useful. Effectively it removes the memory limitation of the expensive arranger/workstation keyboards.
With a couple of new features, namely, ability to read  the loop markers in a wave file and pitch shifting capability, this apps becomes effectively the most versatile sampler available in the market.

### 1/5 — No good

*2017-01-02*

This app doesn't work, money back please

### 1/5 — N'a de midi que le nom

*2016-11-23*

Ne marche pas avec un irig midi. D'ailleurs, rien ne permet de régler le canal midi de réception !

### 5/5 — I love this app!!!!

*2014-05-24*

I use this app to trigger samples from my Roland PK5 MIDI Bass Pedals. It works seamlessly.. I hope the future version will have a loop feature, so I can loop each individual sample if necessary.. Great job!!!!:-)
