VU202 is a performance-focused sampler for iPhone and iPad, built for fast sound design, pattern creation, and hands-on beat making.
Import your own samples or unlock included drumkits, record directly into pads, or resample processed sounds to create new layers and textures. Shape every sound with trim, attack and decay editing, pitch control, reverse playback, loop modes, trigger or gate playback, and multiple effect stages.
Build rhythms in Pattern Mode, switch between patterns instantly, and arrange full ideas in Song Mode. Push grooves further with per-step nudge timing, quick pattern tools like rename, duplicate, erase, and double, and fast pad and bank actions including mute and solo.
Use pad effects for detailed sound design, then process groups and the full mix with bank and master FX. Bounce effected sounds into new samples, export full mixes or stems, and keep building without breaking your flow.
Make the instrument your own with UI customization, including background images, opacity control, and editable interface colors.

SP-202 Emulation
Sucio Vinilo
This is an amazing app that emulates the sound and workflow of the famous and iconic Boss SP-202 Dr. Sample. The developer has done a great job with the filters and overall sound quality of the app. Will highly recommend this to anyone into vintage and retro hardware digital sampling machines specially the Boss/Roland SP series of samplers.
