Multi- outputs

Hello, I wanted to thank you for your product; it's almost perfect, but the problem is that you can't subdivide the plugin across multiple channels. It's a shame, because it's one of the best iOS samplers I've used out of the hundreds of plugins I have. Yours is absolutely fantastic. Thank you.

I would be willing to pay $60 if you could make it possible. Thank you.

Awesome so far

I am newbie to electronic/experimental music and this tool is very easy to use and have fun with. My only criticism is not that big a deal, but I wish it had more banks for samples, but it is easy enough to Import quickly from AudioShare.

Must have

I’ve been using this app for years and it never let me down.

A good example of how not to design a touch UI

I find this app incredibly unintuitive. Unlabelled buttons that you’re expected to memorise the functions of, playback modes that I can’t work out how to interact with, buttons that look like labels, and a terrible manual. It’s a cool idea for an app, but it just frustrates me every time I use it.

I now seem to find myself in a situation where I have two unlabelled white dot on red background buttons that do nothing in the bottom right corner, and no other buttons that do anything - the entire rest of the UI is disabled.

In fact, here’s an idea - since UI designers seem to be allergic to feedback using meaningful words or messages, here’s a review using the same style of communication. I will leave it as an exercise to the author to decode what these unlabelled, mystery symbols mean:
