Waste of money...

It does not format properly and is stuck with a stretched screen. Tapping on the screen does not sync up so the app is essentially unusable. Not worth it!

iPhone 12 and iPad Air 3/pro problem with graphics scaling-

-stuck in vertical mode and won't go horizontal-unusable because I'm landscape only 1/4 of the actual screen accepts input and it accepts quarter screen landscape mode superimposed on the vertical screen interface. Wish this worked right because it could be Awesome!

Wish it worked

Doesn't display correctly anymore. The graphics and the app engine are mismatched and it goes vertical when the buttons are confined to horizontal

doesn’t work at all in iOS 17.5.1

This was a fantastic app but when I updated my iOS it completely stopped working. Such a shame bc I’d been working with it for ages and had many samples in it.

Needs updating

..... display still stuck in portrait on latest Apple update

Screen lock issue

I want to love this app, but for some reason most of the time when I open the app the screen is rotated incorrectly, and the graphics are squished and lining up to where the buttons are mapped on the screen. When it works it’s awesome, but most of the time it is not working for me despite the settings on my iPad. It requires a full restart of the iPad every time for the screen to reset.

I’m on an iPad Air, 5th gen

Used to be great

As per previous reviewer, the app no longer works. Was brilliant though. Sadly a lot of music apps from a decade ago have vanished or turned rubbish :(

A once upon a time great app

Don’t even bother downloading it. It’s completely worthless and unusable with ios 16 and as you can see, there hasn’t been an update in 3 years.

Key problem

The app is kinda glitchy I press a key but it plays a different key and so of the keys don’t work

App is dead

Sad as it was pretty good for a while.

Display is messed up..

Good app until (current?) iOS update. Starts off in landscape, then goes to a truncated portrait display with touches not working well. Support sends me to (old?) website with no way to contact.
iPhone 12 iOS 16.4.1

No longer functional

This app isn’t compatible with current iPhone IOS :(

It’s broken

iOS 16 is not supported. App no longer works.

Great app - major bug

App no longer works on iOS 16.2. Screen is in the wrong orientation and responds awfully

I have loved this app for years!

But, unfortunately, I think Sir Sampleton has given up the fight. As of iOS 16 it longer functions normally :(

Should prob be updated in App Store w/ Caveats or removed entirely.

Thanks for the good years!

MIDI doesn’t work

Can’t find any way to get it to recognise my MIDI interface :-(

Totally awesome

Buy it, its so fun! Been here playing with it for an hour now haha

Won’t play through speakers

Occasionally plays through speakers on the bottom of iPhone but usually comes through small speaker on screen. Can’t hear it much.seems random when it switches.

The Bomb

Thank you, Paul. You just changed my sampling life from complicated and rocky to a Cadillac ride. This piece of software is straight ahead and easy to use. As a pro, I can heartily recommend it.

Can’t import soundbank

This is a cool little sampler. Reminds me of the old Casios. Only problem is I can’t get the soundbanks to import that I downloaded from the dev’s website.
