## What is samplerSequencer HD?

"samplerSequencer HD" turns your device into a sampler sequencer for professional musicians and composers.
Just record a single sound / voice / special effect "A note" using the samplerSequencer HD audio recording feature (using the internal microphone of the device) or import the sound into the device through synchronization (using the iTunes software for Mac or PC) or with copy / paste using the technology "iTunes File Sharing" and samplerSequencer HD will create for you the whole scale of sounds and assign them to the virtual keyboard (n octaves) of samplerSequencer HD, so you can record an audio track using the sequencer recording feature of samplerSequencer HD (the sequencer records for you every note played by you).
samplerSequencer HD operates with seven independent sound tracks, each with its own sampled sound (assignable to a track).
You can then record a track at a time (using the virtual keyboard or by writing different notes by hand) and then listen all the tracks together using the sequencer play feature.

The sampleSequencer "all tracks view" and "selected track view", the ability to manually enter a note or put it through the virtual keyboard, the ability to delete unwanted notes, to touch a note and change its position, length and the type of the note (note shift), the ability of including sequencer events such as pitch bending and many other features make samplerSequencer HD a professional sequencer like the most popular sequencers for Mac or PC.

The software is able to read the common audio files (WAV, MP3, CAF, etc...) so you can create your own sound (you only need one audio file) using standard wave editor for Mac or PC and samplerSequencer HD will create automatically for you the musical instrument.
You can also import a song from the iTunes library on the device and by controlling "SAMPLE START POSITION" you can select a sound by extracting it from the imported song: samplerSequencer HD will automatically create the complete musical instrument for you.
You can import a song from iTunes and assign it to a track, and using the other tracks you can play your track over the imported song… the sequencer will play the song combined with your sound tracks.

- Storing infinite sound samples using the archive of sound ("Samples Archive") of samplerSequencer HD

- Ability of “recording” of musical patterns during live performances:

- sequencer with 7 independent tracks (you can assign to each track a different sampled sound)
- MUTE function to turn off unwanted tracks (PLAY MUTE feature)

### 1/5 — Very low quality app

*2012-12-19*

The app is very glitchy. The interface is difficult to use. Uses stolen clip art from iStockPhoto. Doesn't support audio paste. Skip this app all together.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2012-01-11*

I was quite amazed to find so much offered in one package. It offers the ability to use samples across the range of the keyboard, great manipulation and a mult-track sequencer. Use your own samples or down load free ones. It really is a must have sample manipulator. The DJsampler app is worth checking out too. Thanks for the pleasure of using these apps.

### 1/5 — Horrendous user interface

*2011-06-01*

Unfortunately the same disregard for intuitive design that plagues most hardware-based sampler/sequencers is at full tilt here. Not only is the app completely disorganized, it also ignores almost every single interface standard that iOS users are accustomed to.

Top that off with minuscule buttons and controls that are impossible to use with normal adult fingers and you've got yourself a frustrating waste of $4.99.

I thought Apple reviewed these things before they put them in the store...

### 1/5 — Really disappointed

*2011-04-19*

Many issues that are to be corrected.
The metronome is irregular, the sequence window unstable.
Recording an instrument, the note does not fit with the keyboard and no way to adjust it.
When importing a sound from iTunes, it records the whole track and there is no way to cut out the sample I need. 
There are much more issues but first of all it is the instability and not practical interface at all.
Cannot use this sampler, and for this price, will ask my money back
