What's New in Samplist

1.4.1

July 14, 2021

Updated for iOS 14 Fixed MIDI & Crashes Added ability to record your performance into an audio file. Attention: This version removes support for InterApp Audio & Audiobus. If you rely on that functionality, don't update yet. I will be focusing on making Samplist AUv3 in the future.

User reviews

Almost perfect

This is a wonderful app that does what no other sampler does on iOS ( timestretch per slice). The only thing missing is Auv3 support… 5 stars incoming?

Thanks to the dev 👍

Inter audio with GarageBand

This app is the bomb sampler but in GarageBand it doesn’t work. Name shows up as Sender with the icon. Please fix this because I love the layout. Love how we can change location of the sample section to accommodate button sequences, sweet. Quality sounds better in your app imo so can you fix the GB issue.

Response from developer

Hey, first of all thanks for buying my app and taking the time to write a review! I really appreciate it. As for InterAppAudio... unfortunately it's been deprecated and it already started acting wonky for a lot of apps. The next thing to do is create an Audio Unit (AUv3). I'm already working on that but I don't have a timeline since it's much more complex than I thought :(

Doesn’t work with AUM.

Non-starter for me.

Great chops. But

Changing a duplicated pads chromatic sound is unknown. Recording appears to be unavailable. How do I record a melody of slices, with a record button that has no function. I imagine if the record button would record, it would record through the iPads microphone instead of an option to record the internal apps audio that was playing (for clarity). And that would not be original or ideal. Overall, great attempt so far.

Response from developer

The record button is for sampling. But I made an update today. Should be out soon. It has this particular feature. You can record your performance.

Crashes

Can’t use with my Bluetooth headphones. Crashes as soon as I open the Bluetooth menu.
