Zampler turns your iPhone into a pocket sampler. Record any sound, chop it across pads, play it in key, stretch it into granular clouds, run it through tape and lo-fi effects, and play it all in time with a shared transport. SAMPLE ANYTHING • Record from the built-in mic or any connected input: USB, wired headset or Bluetooth • Resample the app's own output to layer and bounce ideas • Arm recording to start automatically when the sound begins • Trim, crop, normalize, reverse and fade, with undo • Import any audio file, or drop one into Zampler's folder in the Files app FIVE-SLOT SAMPLE BANK Five slots sit under the transport, always in reach. Each has its own trim, loop, level, pan, filter and effect sends. Tap play on a slot to hear it. While the transport runs, slots start on the next bar so everything stays in time. PLAY IT IN KEY The Keys tab plays any slot at any pitch on a three-row grid. Pick a key and one of nine scales, from major and minor to Dorian, pentatonic and blues, and only notes that fit appear. Use the fourths layout to keep chord shapes the same anywhere, or the linear layout for one long run of notes. GRANULAR SYNTHESIS Turn any sample into a cloud of tiny grains. Play it on an XY or polar pad: move your finger to scan through the sound while shaping grain size, density, pitch, spray and detune. Choose Hann, triangle or percussive grain windows, lock grains to the tempo, latch the cloud with Hold, and shape it with a curved envelope. PADS AND STEP SEQUENCER • 16 pads, each with its own slice, pitch, level, pan, filter, envelope, play mode, reverse and choke group • Slice a sample evenly, at transients, or chromatically across the pads • A step sequencer for every pad: up to 64 steps, swing, soft and accent steps, and live recording quantized to the beat FILTERS, TAPE AND EFFECTS • Resonant low-pass, band-pass and high-pass filters on every slot and pad, plus a DJ filter on the master • Lo-fi: drive, bit crushing, sample-rate reduction, tone and vinyl crackle • Tape looper with overdub, varispeed, reverse, wow, flutter, drive and hiss • Tape delay, synced or free, with ping-pong and saturated feedback • Algorithmic or convolution reverb, including any part of your own sample as the space • Chorus/flanger and a five-band EQ with a live curve • Spatial panner that moves sound around your head, with tempo-synced motion • Look-ahead limiter on the master MOVEMENT • Two LFOs, synced to the tempo or free, with sine, triangle, saw, square and random shapes. Point one at a control and it moves in time. • Automation: record a control's movement for 1 to 8 bars and it loops with the music. Up to eight lanes at once. PLAY TOGETHER Sync tempo, start and stop with other devices running Zampler nearby, over Wi-Fi or peer-to-peer. Clocks lock together so devices never drift apart. RECORD AND EXPORT Record your whole performance at 44.1 or 48 kHz. Export takes or samples as WAV, AIFF, CAF, FLAC, Apple Lossless or AAC, and find them in the Files app. EASY TO LEARN A short welcome tour introduces the essentials, and tips appear as you explore each tab. BUILT FOR EVERY SCREEN Zampler adapts from iPhone to iPad, with layouts that use the extra space, and on iPhone Duo it spreads out when you unfold it. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Your recordings stay on your device. ## Is Zampler safe? Not enough ratings yet to assess Zampler. ## Is Zampler legit?
