Portable Dandy

Don't get me wrong, it's kind of a cool idea as a sampler, some of the default loops are a bit strange (but again, different enough to be cool). Would like the ability to record or import/export loops. UPDATE: Added a star because after playing around with it, I found that you can import your own loops via iTunes (plus, it mentions that in the description......oops). Also, the more I play with it, the bizarre included loops are great.

I got a little medicinal one night and played with this thing for like two hours. I gotta say it’s very different, unique, super fun, but, when I try to record into my DAW the sound doesn’t sound even close to the same. If that was fixed and it was pretty seamless I think I’d actually pay a little bit for this app. Oh yeah and maybe some kinda stop/start and reset button would be cool.

I wish I could find more about this, but there isnt a whole lot of literature out there! Interesting concept: Manipulate samples as you would on a magnetic tape player. Very avant-garde, not for someone who thinks Pop is the paragon of music. Id hope to see more developement on this, with the ability to record your own samples and not just upload! Some grainy monotone, lo-fi recordings through the mic would be interesting! It DID crash on my 6 with 8.3, but only once. It opened right afterwards and was fully functional. So there is hope that it does work!

iPhone 5, iOS 6.1. I know, outdated, but everything else works... Shows title screen for a second or two, then crashes. Tried troubleshooting (power off/on, closing other apps, re-downloading, etc.). Will rate up when I can play with it, looks to be amazing :)

It technically opens and runs, but there’s a problem with sample rate conversion or something which causes every sound to have a very loud and sharp buzz, preventing any sort of enjoyment. A bummer because it’s such a unique app.
