AirSampler turns your iPhone into a pocket sample crate for music makers. Record ideas, instruments, vocals, street sounds, cafe noise, airport textures, car rides, and anything else that sparks a track.

Use AirSampler by itself as a fast recorder and local sample library. When you are near your Mac, pair with AirSampler Bridge over your local network to sync your samples into your studio workflow. The Mac Bridge keeps your sample folder updated, and the AirSampler AU plugin can browse those synced files inside your DAW so you can drag them directly into your project.
