Samplist 4+

Has potential

Has potential an iOS needs a sampler like this but the bugs need ironing out. The message from Apple upon buying about no refunds is crap too as the bugs mean you can’t use the app usefully atm. Half the time you make a slice, play the keys and nothing happens! Reboot, start again, it works, then stops again. Triggering notes quickly on the keyboard, again it doesn’t work properly, with note length played being intermittently, also only seems to be monophonic which ain’t great! The slices need looping facility and cross fading and more thought needs to go into the slice setup: setting slices on different keys maybe? Splitting? Layering? Having to select a slice to play it defeats the purpose really. Making it multitimbral?. The filters need envelopes. The time stretching is good but to make that really work the slicing needs to be time accurate and then be able to set the sampler to a tempo: maybe you can set a tempo or sync and I’ve not found it yet though? And Audio units would be nice. As it is I don’t have to much use for it. Back to Samplr.
As a beta it has potential I guess but currently it’s incomplete and shouldn’t be on sale yet.

Developer Response ,

Hey Stanley
I'm pushing an update with Split slices right now.
The app's main function is to chop a sample (like a drumloop) and play the slices via keyboard. you can enable chromatic mode for the current selected slice.

All the stuff you mentiond about looping, envelopes & all is on my list, but you need to understand I'm one guy working on an app. I can't spend months developing tons of stuff and then nobody uses it.

I preferred to put it out there, gather user feedback (Thank you for that) and then go along with user requests.

Don't worry, I'm planning to make this awesome. I want it for myself too ;)
