Samplebot 4+

Needs work

What idiot programmes an application where the wave editor takes only some of the screen instead utilising entire screen so that we can edit the track better. Imagine the genius who decided to do that. It’s obviously someone who never edited anything hence doesn’t realise the importance of space with these things. You can only place samples that start from beginning. U cannot play sample (once u place it) from specific parts, it always plays from beginning which is very limiting. So all you can do is to cut the end or completely design a new sample that will have that desired part playing. Tedious.
Not easy to create loops as they are never cut properly because wave is described as bars which makes it visually inaccurate.
When u are trying to make a loop in editor it only plays once. Terrible. It should play in a loop so that u can cut the sample properly and hear the result whilst u are doing it. But no, the genius thought it should only play once in the wave editor. So you have to press play again and again hoping that once u have the final cut, it will sound like a perfect loop which is very unlikely. Works terrible when you are trying to take loops from songs. Zoom in and zoom out gesture in wave editor is inconvenient. It gives u the whole track so you have to always zoom out a lot to get to a normal 16 beats kinda length that everyone always normally plays around with.
There is not really much you can do in their wave editor. Volume, pitch, speed (useless function) and balance. That’s it.
There is no even a fade out, or fade in, echo or anything like that. Very dull and basic. There was so much potential and they just delivered a lazy sampler for amateur kids who like to show their momma how they recorded voices or some sound and can play them over and over again. Get real...

Just what I was after!

Simple to use but powerful!
Help menu is found via the new project screen if you haven’t figured it out. Explains how to import samples for those complaining it doesn’t.

Really great!

Yes big improvements in the ability to import audio into the app and quickly and easily edit, trim and setup the samples. Really great!
