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. Features: 4x4 pad sampler workflow built for fast beat making Audio tracks with a full timeline — record, arrange, loop, and trim clips Timestretch and keylock — independent pitch and tempo per pad, with Sharp and Smooth modes Auto-warp loops to tempo on import, at the right bar count Host third-party AUv3 instruments and effects Built-in sounds plus import from Files and video audio extraction Mic and audio interface recording with live meters and threshold capture Sample chopping, layering, trimming, and waveform editing Turntable-style deck for scratching and performance Pattern sequencing with velocity, probability, ratchets, and nudge Conditional trigs and polyrhythms / per-pad step lengths 16 Levels, Roll, resampling, and replay capture Bus FX, output processing, song mode, and WAV export Performance FX with automation per sequence and export Parameter locks per step, per sequence with export Effect automation MIDI in & out with fully custom mapping Audio Mixer to dial in your mix Play and sample from classic games Set Key, Scale and Chords per pad or project Deep Arpeggiaotor for samples and AUV3
