Brusmaskin vs SimpleSampler

Brusmaskin is a pocket groovebox — an 8-track synthesizer, sampler and sequencer for making complete tracks wherever you are. SEVEN SOUND ENGINES FM synthesis with a subtractive filter stage, a raw mono synth with drive and wavefolding, a lush 7-voice supersaw, a dedicated drum synth with FM percussion, filtered noise and attack transients, a plucked string (Karplus–Strong) with a pick that changes every note, and GRAIN — a granular engine that plays any sample as a cloud. Plus a sampler with stereo samples, slicing, key-mapped chopping, non-destructive trim and a start offset for ghost notes. The same audio plays both ways — sampler or cloud — with zero copies. RESAMPLE YOURSELF Capture any track with one button — it keeps playing while the recording runs through its own private effects, so the take carries the filter, the drive and the track's own reverb and delay tail, in stereo. Then listen and choose what it becomes: a sample, a grain cloud sliced on the hits, or a playable kit where each note is one hit. Or record from the microphone, or GRAB the last 30 seconds of the master — the take you just played but forgot to record is still there. DEEP MODULATION Three envelopes and three LFOs per sound, each with three freely routable destinations — and every target lives on every engine. Vibrato on a sample, a moving noise filter on a drum, an LFO that rechops a break on every note, an envelope that scrubs a grain cloud through a field recording. HOLD, CURVE and END floors turn envelopes into drones. DEEP STEP SEQUENCING Per-step trig conditions, probability, ratchets with pitch rolls, swing, and patterns up to 128 steps with independent speed and length. An arpeggiator with chord pools, inversions and free-run mode. Sound locks put a different sound on any step, and per-step parameter offsets shape your sounds over time. SONGS, NOT JUST LOOPS Chain patterns into parts, phrases and full songs. Perform live in the performance view, mix with per-track faders, and glue everything together with chorus, delay and a rich plate reverb. Sidechain ducking built in. HANDS ON MIDI learn maps any knob, fader or button on your controller to sounds, mixer faders, mutes and solos — with soft takeover so nothing jumps. 576 factory presets cover every engine, and an INIT patch per engine gives you a clean starting point when you want to build from scratch. YOURS Projects and sample banks are stored in iCloud Drive as plain files you can see and back up. Scale-aware note entry, a built-in browser of vintage drum machine sample packs, and video import that pulls the audio straight out of a screen recording. No account, no subscription, and everything works completely offline.

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.
