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.

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.

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.

Doesn’t work

Try to use a wired midi controller and it won’t work. The only menu options are for Bluetooth settings, which just crashes. And the midi mapping option has nothing about finding the keyboard.

This has been fixed in the latest update. Thanks for your feedback! It was an iOS 14 issue.

Crash

Bluetooth option in settings shuts down the app on iPhone 12 Pro Max.

Issue with files

For some reason, I can’t import my own downloads. I downloaded a sample from my computer, sent it to my phone, and now I can’t import it into the app. It’s the same thing for every audio file except splice samples

Hi. There's a feedback form in the app. It's easier to get in touch with me than giving a one star review for something that's probably because of the type of file you're importing. Please use that contact form and provide me the samples that are not working so I can investigate. Thanks.

An excellent start

Samplist has a clean and (mostly) intuitive interface that’s straightforward about sampling. It may be one of the best standalone sampling apps you’re going to find.

All that said, there are just a few things that would make it a five-star app:

1. Most noticeable: setting slice boundaries is clumsy. Based on my experience with other apps, I expected to move the slice start time, not the length of the whole slice.
2. You can only play one sample on the keyboard at a time. If you want multisampled instruments, you’ll have to go with something like Beatmaker 3.
3. There’s no “save as” option — or if there’s a way to do it, I’m not finding it.
4. No filter ADSR or looping, so … you get what you get.

Can’t sample songs I own

Thought this app was for sampling your music not cheesy samples

Response from developer

The purpose of the app is to load and slice samples not sample your music. There are other apps that do this. I don’t see why the 1 star? Those “cheesy” samples are for demo purposes and royalty free. It is a good idea to import songs from your music library and I would’ve appreciated it if you used the feedback button to send it.

iOS 14 broke it—- fixed

Doesn’t work since updating just crashes when trying to open...it works now...awesome sampler! Only complaint is no auv3 but still a dope sampler!

Update

Thanks for the update on IOS 14 this is one of the best Sampling apps.

Slice, chop, BMP time stretch, zoom in on the sample.

Its own folder plus inter app.

You be poping samples in an out like a old school pizza man in a bizzy pizzeria.

If I could I’d give it 10 stars hands Down Nice.........

Doesn’t work

I have an iPhone SE 2020 running iOS 14… This app does not work, don’t buy it.

Exactly what I was looking for

Standalone devices that do exactly this are rare and expensive. For the couple bucks this app costs, it’s unbelievable how powerful it is. I’ve been looking for a good solution to recording samples and quickly being able to turn them into playable melodies via onscreen keyboard interface. This can do exactly that and more. Now I don’t have to spend $600 on a used Korg Microsampler. THANK YOU!

I couldn’t connect with cubasis2

This app is very simple and useful, I think.
But I can’t find the manual. Where can I find it?

I Like

Should’ve gotten this app a long time ago. My favorite part is exporting slices that you chop up into a zip file. This is gonna be a musically creative game changer for me! A simple sampler made for 2020! 🤍🙌
