puc+ vs SimpleSampler

The PUC is a wireless MIDI interface designed specifically for iOS devices. PUC Connect is the app designed to establish your iPad/iPhone connection to the PUC hardware. PUC Connect also monitors your PUC hardware for battery status, firmware updates, and connection protocol selection. If you have a MIDI keyboard controller, home digital piano, synthesizer, or computer controller, connect it to the PUC and play your musical instrument apps from your favorite MIDI controllers. The PUC allows you to wirelessly connect an iPad, iPhone or Mac to a variety of MIDI compatible devices such as a keyboard, DJ controller, drum pad, floor pedal controller, and more. The PUC can also work with other platforms that support MIDI connections over Bluetooth wireless. The PUC communicates directly to the iPad, iPhone, or Mac via Bluetooth Smart (Low-Energy 4.0) You have an iPad loaded with amazing synthesizer & music creation apps, but connecting your controller creates a tangled mess and no longer makes you mobile. The PUC and the PUC Connect app makes MIDI connectivity easy so you can get on with your business – making music. PUC also connects to your Mac for wireless CoreMIDI control.

SimpleSampler turns any sound into an instrument. Record a piano note, a clap, your voice or a glass you tap with a spoon. The app detects the pitch and puts the sound on a keyboard, so you can play it across several octaves right away. RECORDING Press record and the app shows you what it hears before the take starts. The recording begins with your first sound, not with the button press, so there is no silence or click at the start. If you don't like the take, cancel it and nothing is saved. KEYBOARD AND DRUM PADS The keyboard shows two octaves at a time and scrolls. It is fully multitouch, so chords and glissandos work. Eight drum pads hold eight different samples for beats. Pitch and length are independent: higher notes last as long as lower ones. If you prefer the classic tape sound, where higher also means faster, switch it on with one tap. LOOP STATION Tap a loop slot, play something and tap again to close the loop. Every new layer stays in time with the first one. You can also record a loop straight from the microphone. Your loops are still there the next time you open the app. RECORD YOUR SONG One button records everything you play: keyboard, pads and loops. It records what the app outputs, not what the microphone picks up, so the result is clean. Share it via AirDrop, Messages or any other app. PORTRAIT AND LANDSCAPE On iPhone, hold it upright to record and edit samples and turn it sideways to play. On iPad you get pads and keyboard on one screen. No account, no subscription, no tracking. Your recordings stay on your device unless you share them.
