SampleScape is an AUv3 plugin for use in your favourite DAW such as AUM, Cubasis, GarageBand, Logic or Loopy Pro. SampleScape is an innovative sample-based instrument for building complex evolving soundscapes. You can create a sequence of steps, each step being either an individual sample or a collection of tuned samples which we refer to as an instrument. Each step allows you has controls how it is played back, either as a traditional sample or via granular synthesis. You can control transition times, fade times, transpose, pitch, glide, level, pan, vibrato, tremolo at each step, and together with a 3 mode morphing filter and integrated effects you can create a constantly evolving and complex soundscape. SampleScape also has the ability to map any incoming CC controllers to a large number of internal knobs, sliders, switches etc. for fantastic automation possibilities. Our build in Auto Sampler makes recording samples from other instruments so simple. You can use this to expand the library of more than 114 pre-build instruments. SampleScape also has a configurable randomisation feature which can piece sequences of instruments together to create new sequences at the press of a button. Need more samples, simply drag and drop SF2 files into the Sample Library to extract all the samples. The Sample Library also lets you configure and reference a remote folder on your iPad.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: SampleScape at $7.99 against Loopmix's $17.99. SampleScape also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 months). Loopmix's advantage is ratings volume (27 vs 2) and iOS requirement (11 vs 13). On ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
