Samplr

This app is clearly an exceptional sampler to almost all including me. It doesn't have Bluetooth speaker support though. Im just shocked and disappointed when a great app gets put out of my toolbox because I mainly work with Bluetooth speakers. I would have refrained from buying it if I had known of the lack of Bluetooth support. I have cheap music apps that are very basic that have Bluetooth support. I'm now checking to make sure that any app I have supports Bluetooth speakers before I buy. Seems like a basic standard. Overall amazing sampler app. I want to use it more!! Help!

Who ever leaves less than a five star review is a complete idiot in every form. Every time I use this I figure out seething amazing it was either meant to do or just does. As a producer of electronic music of nearly 20 years, I can't even imagine anything more useful as far as writing and new inspiration and taking my songs to a new level goes. It would have taken me hours to do on an mpc or mv8800 or anything of this day, that this can do instantly. It has always crashed when audio pasting but that's remedied by exporting TO samplr I have used 99.9 % of all software synth, samplers, virtual instruments from everyone from ILIO,to East West,NI, BIgfish, ZEro-G and so on and so forth... This is undoubtfully the most usable and functioning software for creating music that I have ever seen written for PC, Mac or iOS... no exaggeration to say that this takes music to a completely different level that has ever been able to be achieved until now with touch screens... It's almost like they created a new instrument because anything you put into it, has the potential to come out sounding like whatever your imagination makes it. Also I'd like to add that I use iOS for music production 12 hours or more a day and I see what's stable and what isn't.... Since the beginning I have never noticed this crash or act whiny and be a brat like some huge companies... These guys will take over soon... No I am not a paid spokesperson for these people LOL

If I had to choose one app to make live or recorded music based on looping and chopping samples, it would be Samplr. You can dump GarageBand, Auria Pro, even AUM and Audiobus (well, maybe not - and you still need AudioShare/Audio Copy) and still have a great tool to make great postmodern music. I do wish the dev would do some overhaul, but if it means $20 for some UI differences, aesthetic color updates, and the addition of AU3 then I’m fine with it as is ... but honestly I would be happy to support the dev for any paid upgrades as long as there’s no subs. * like a lot of apps out there - especially audio apps - if you have any issues with something not happening like it should, just dump and reinstall. I used to leave chopped reviews based on the fact that I had no idea how many things can go wrong on an install, believing issues I was having needed to be fixed in the app. Don’t think I’ve seen in with Samplr, but I’ve had it for so long and reinstalled it and everything else enough times to know. So it seems like some of the less than 5 star reviews are experiencing this and should reinstall ... either that or they’re Abelton Enabled snobs that have never bussed a mix of 8 mics on an actual desk... not that that’s required (ok now I’m the snob).

Samplr can create complete songs and sound worlds just in the app itself, no DAW or external apps or devices needed. That's cool, but the simple beauty of the app is in the way it allows you to manipulate audio, where import/export is a breeze and tools you could & couldn't think of are present and accounted for. A drum loop, one synth chord, a guitar riff, vocal snippet...any kind of sample/sound you record or import can be morphed and used in startling new, creative ways. I'm just the scratching the surface working with it ....and I am amazed. Highly recommended.

I was an early adopter of this app - bought it within a month or two of its arrival and sold it on several friends. These days I’m using more AUv3-enabled synths inside of the newer generation of DAW apps. I revisited this app and was disappointed to see the recording not working, no AudioBus, no Link, no AUv3, and no real UI change from the earliest versions. There are plenty of people I know who would love to have this one “back” again so please do an update, or sell it to someone else who will maintain it properly! Its difficult to watch something that was once so innovative and unique, just die on the vine like this.
