Resamplr is a fast, hardware-inspired sampler and beatmaking app for iPhone and iPad. Capture ideas quickly, shape them on a 4x4 pad workflow, and keep moving from sampling to sequencing to resampling without ever breaking flow. 2.0 turns Resamplr into a full workstation. Lay your beats and loops onto audio tracks with a proper timeline, record straight in through the mic or an audio interface, warp anything to tempo, and host your favourite AUv3 instruments and effects right inside the app. Load sounds from the built-in library, import your own files, or extract audio from video. Drop a loop in and it auto-warps to your project tempo at the right bar count — no manual correction. Record through the microphone or a connected audio interface with live input metering, threshold recording, and quick pad assignment. Chop samples non-destructively, build layered pads, tweak pitch, filters, envelopes, playback modes, and bus routing. Lock a pad's pitch independently of its speed with Sharp and Smooth timestretch modes, then sequence patterns with velocity, probability, ratchets, and live performance controls like 16 Levels and Roll. Scratch and perform on the deck, and when a pattern hits, resample it back to a pad and keep transforming it. Resamplr also includes flexible FX buses, output processing, song arrangement, project saving, skipback capture, a light/dark theme, and offline export for sequences, songs, audio tracks, or individual pads.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TimeLoop at none against Resamplr's 9. TimeLoop also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 83%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Resamplr's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 15 months) and ratings volume (20 vs 3). On ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
