1.2.1

April 1, 2025

Fixed small bug: mixing MPE and regular MIDI could sometimes lead to stuck notes

User reviews

Look elsewhere

Very disappointed. Why? You can’t save wav files. What’s the point of recording samples if you can’t save them? That forces me into using only this app if I want to use the wav file I’ve recorded. Or go through the arduous process of bouncing the sample out with AUM. Honestly it should be a simple button press.

Great tool

Bram Bos delivered as usual. Great app as it is (a superb instrument) but I would like to see one feature that would make it absolutely amazing. Option to export those seamless loops, may it be without the effects if that’s too difficult. I know I can record and cut after, but you know- making life easier… also some way to only hold single keys while being able to freely play the rest. Not to mention time stretch to play notes at different pitch but same timing. Thanks a lot.

Needs Sample Stretch

It accomplishes different notes by stretching the samples making them all messed up and kind of useless for me. If my sample has texture or rhythm it makes a big difference where I play it

Good, but a few things could make it better

Great for grabbing audio and creating a playable instrument, but no time-stretching option makes it very limited.

The addition of a tempo-aligned grid, or time-stretching would allow us to play rhythmic samples in time at any pitch - but at present any rhythm content goes completely out of sync.

Also I have a lot of issues with stuck MIDI notes when sequencing from another app. The ‘panic’ button is in constant use!

No buyer’s remorse as it’s great for basic sample playing and soundscapes, but sync and time-stretching options would make it much more usable.
