## What is XinematiX?

XinematiX establishes a new high-level standard for sound libraries for iOS®.
 
XinematiX delivers over 25 GB of premium sounds that are the result of over 3 years of recording and programming work by legendary sample sound producer KARO Sound Development, brought to you by music app guru Harry Gohs. Unlimited creative possibilities and ease of use - that's what XinematiX is all about.

Non-compromise sound quality – Harry Gohs’ top-notch sound engine offers excellent dynamics via extensive velocity switching and clever programming. Advanced features like Round Robin sample triggering will make your performances and productions sound richer and more natural than ever before.

The App already includes 2 beautiful multi sampled sounds: A phrase choir using round robin to give you different articulations on each key repetition and the standard XinematiX Choir preset.

990 programs - carefully curated sound programs selecting from 62 preset packs across all thinkable sound categories now available with a single in-app purchase.

Multi power - Up to 3 different programs can be stacked simultaneously in a multi and either be crossfaded or layered for dramatic sound sculpting with the intuitive color-coded on-screen fader.

Flexible and customizable – pro features like envelopes, filters, and reverb effects make it easy to adapt any program/multi to your needs and save it as your own user preset. A special “white mode” allows effective manipulation of all programs loaded in a multi at once.

Live Mode - organize your multis and programs for quick access in a dedicated Live Mode with 128 scenes and 16 tiles per screen.

Unlimited seamless transitions – No matter if you are performing or just browsing through sounds: To ensure you stay in the flow, special care is given that your sound never cuts off or glitches.

MIDI Learn - A comprehensive MIDI Learn feature makes it easy to map any MIDI controller to all relevant functions.

### 5/5 — Update

*2026-08-24*

It wasn’t working but i had to delete and reinstall each pack separately now it works great, this is a awesome App with Awesome sounds .

### 1/5 — Much defective Samples and no Updates

*2026-06-13*

Much samples are not useable because of sampling mistakes, much noisy, crashed sounds. often problems with loading sounds. donˋt. buy it!

### 5/5 — Loving it

*2026-05-19*

This is very unique and I’m very impressed. Downloading all the files will take some time but it’s worth it.

### 5/5 — Incredible!!!

*2026-05-16*

This synth instantly became one of my favorite production apps fo sho! Unfortunately it eliminated the need of maybe 6 other apps I was considering!? The sound of this music powerhouse is up there with the very best! Beyond highly recommended!!!

### 2/5 — 情報が、違っています。

*2026-04-25*

情報/互換性/「 iPad OS 12.0以降が必要です。」と記載しています。しかし　iPad mini 5.  OS 14でのアプリは、動きますが、App内課金で購入したSample Libraries がDownload 出来ません。これは、誤情報になるのでは！

### 3/5 — Amateur

*2026-03-30*

The one good thing I can say about this app is that individual samples usually sound great. In particular, the style of the sampling is dense and lush.

Other than that, the app is pretty bad. Obvious bugs abound and updates are rare. Scaling does not work properly. The interface is cluttered and outdated even when it works, with almost no proper sound organization. Instruments aren’t labeled by character, but scattered like loose seed into one long list with evocative names such as “Horns 1” “Horns 2” and “Horns 3”.

MIDI mapping doesn’t work consistently. There are a host of problems which occur when hosting that app as an Auv3. Some parts of the interface are often simply unresponsive in certain layouts.

There are no proper articulations. Many libraries have shallow multisampling with obvious repeating timbres. Reverb tails are stiff and abridged. The pianos are cheesy; two decades behind modern libraries, and outdated even on this platform. 

The enormous disk size is laughable; a silly, amateur throwback to the early days of PC sample hucking. Ooh wow, it’s so big! It must be good. This app is comparable in size to the largest desktop UVI libraries, but with none of the deeply multisampled, professional, well-coded quality or dedication to the product or platform.

Highly overrated instrument with glacial development and nothing but rough edges. I encourage you to deeply consider your use case for a bloated, middling orchestral library. This isn’t the only option.

### 5/5 — Orchestra 1

*2026-03-22, version 2.2.0*

Orchestra Strings 1
 
Oboe 1

Full Orchestra

### 5/5 — So nice. Thank you for making this.

*2025-11-21, version 2.2.0*

Thank you for making this. How much fun? So much fun.

### 1/5 — Makes no sound at all

*2025-10-27, version 2.2.0*

Wish I knew what it sounded like

### 4/5 — Love it soooo much.

*2025-09-19*

This really knocked my socks off, for several reasons. But particularly for how it can help you with temperaments, tunings, and it’s very instructive/Illuminating with regard to how tuning can be used used in choral work, and pitches shifting in response to context. I’m unaware of other apps that aid in this with such a clarity and within such a truly useful interface. I want to explore further, but whenever I load from their list of patches, it all goes silent and won’t return to usefulness until I quit and restart the app. Not sure why this would be. Maybe my iPad doesn’t meet the requirements? Anyway, the one patch is mind blowing and I wish I knew how to remedy this thing that must be a glitch peculiar to my machine. I’m sure their other patches and sound banks are equally wonderful, and if I could check them out, I’d be an easy patron. It seems like it was made by someone who really loves music.
