Is there a better keyboard sampler than Beatmaker 2's.
Beatmaker 2 has an amasing keyboard sampler. I have my Native Instruments VST's sampled inside of Beatmaker 2 and it sounds amazing. When you purchase NI's Maschine packs (desktop version) they give you the instruments in sampled wavs taged with note information, so you can map them to Beatmaker's keyboard sampler. I have my 36gigs Maschine sample pack imported and now have Maschine on the go inside Beatmaker 2 lol
Soooo, I want to know is there another Keyboard app for IOS that does the same thing better or different. The Keyboard sampler in Beatmaker 2 is really like Kontakts as to how easily you can map samples to the keyboard in layers too.
Comments
Don't think there is.
Thanks for the link...im learning still how to sample.
BM2 is the only one I know that does layering . Caustic does not have layering but does all the other keyboard sampling stuff BM2 does . Sir Sampleton and Elsa's are nice as well easy to use and very musical .
Actually Caustic may have layering I just don't know how to do it. But its easy to put 8 samples across the keyboard. Plus you can load multiple PCMSynths.
You know just right now in the metro rail iMPC PRO started to make sense...even after a few crashes but saving often helped a lot. Just got the hang of entering in real time in the timeline as the beat plays and to create a new mixer track, all I had to do is select track from the top and voila! Oh man this thing is amazing! Recorded Animoog and Model 15 sounds awesome!
I still dont quite get how to make certain pads loop on their own by I guess I have to manually enter it in the timeline and that works for now.
I know it doesn't have a keyboard but it does have IAA so you can insert any Synth or whatever and sample it. will try BM2 still.
sample whiz is pretty sweet
No layering in Caustic but the PCMSynth is easy to use. And Caustic's built-in wave editor is one of the best. I wish he'd get that final release out. Oh well...I have the beta which is stable and fully functional.
As far as I know, no...
Beatmaker 2 two is still top pick even with some minor annoyances and that's why many including me are waiting for Beatmaker 3
If a more simpler keyoabrd sampler is needed I do like the Cubasis built-in mini sampler a lot even though it has it's limitations.(No layering and just a basic envelope for all the samples within an i strument). Rough trimming of loops/sounds can be done on the regular time-line/arranger before movkg the sound i to the sampler.
If effects are needed it's a breeze to create a track, add effects, freeze it and create another sample. And well, time-stretching/pitch-adjustment is still missing...
Needless to say Cubasis 2.0 is also one update I look forward to!
As the the video author said it is a fairly cumbersome process. Seems like overkill. With the availability of Korg iM1, iMS-20, iDS-10, Module, Moog Model 15, Animoog, iVCS3, PPG Wavemapper, Sunrizer, Thor, etc. why not just load up an Audiobus, IAA or AU instrument to a track in a matter of seconds?
Exactly what I thought. That's what I'm doing within iMPC PRO. Load up a really nice Synth, record the sample, trim it, save it, and load it to whatever pad I need. I think once you get the hand of iMPC PRO, which just happened to me last night, you begin to appreciate the depth of the app.
People at Intua should release a standalone version of the BM Keyboard Sampler, with AU, IAA and Audiobus. It's still the only serious sampler on iOS. It would sell a lot for sure.
Agreed! Or perhaps @WaveMachineLabs should upgrade its Lyra sample player to a real sampler. It already plays EXS libraries: wouldn't it be nice if it could edit and create EXS libraries as well? Imagine, EXS24 on iOS!
Thats what I thought
Yep Bm2 is best option right now. An old school sampler is one of the only types of music app that does not exist in any great user friendly form
Maybe my imagination, but I'm sure I remember some talk of Lyra being developed into a full sampler
Lyra is just a sample player
For now, Shazam! But I also heard about it becoming a full sampler in the future: perhaps even a standalone app. It's already the most advanced player on iOS, having the ability of managing large libraries in EXS format, such as Analogue Drums' and Imperfect Samples'.
As said, I'm looking forward to Cubasis 2.0 too...
The Mini-Sampler in the current version covers most of my sampling/editing-needs already.
(I only miss Time-Stretch/Pitch-Shifting, rest of the effects can be applied by track-freezing/re-sampling).
Samu, I was able to record into iMPC PRO and monitor the sound while listening to the payback of all the other tracks. Pretty awesome cause I could record Model 15 in sync with the music and add more emotion to my playing.
Forgot to mention that I was using headphones only and no sound card.
I need both multi-samples, layering, and controllable velocity crossfade. BM2 does all except the cross-fade controllability bit - you can overlay velocity ranges but there is no curve editor. So now I am experimenting with my BM2 layers in different instruments on different channels and using MidiFlow's configurable velocity curves to get the effect I want. Cumbersome and slow going, but I think I'll get there eventually.
I have looked and looked, and I think I have all the samplers, and this is the only solution I have found.
'Monitoring' works for IAA-Instruments and the IAA-Recording implementation in iMPC Pro is one of the better ones.
Now take the same idea, attach your external synth, mic or guitar directly to the iPad, play back the iMPC Pro track and hello?!?!? can't hear anything coming in thru the external-input...
what about sample whiz?
Nope, different beast. No multisampling, no layering, no velocity crossfading.
Oh how I wish at least a few apps in the iPad could be like Logic...
Sure would like the Reason NN-XT for iOS...
Totally agree. Same for the beat machine really. The app itself is what gets in the way—the instruments themselves are still pretty great, 4+ years later.
Similar to NS' Eden. It's a great sampler if you want the synth bits on-top of the sample. Maybe still the best for that actually. It just doesn't support any of the features that make a bonafide sampler good at expressively playing 'normal' instrument samples across the keyboard with differing dynamics, etc. Though, I guess for me, there are tons of apps that do that like TJ, Lyra, BM2 etc... and I'm not actually interested in building those sorts of instrument samples by hand anymore anyway!
BM2s multi-sample engine+editor with Lyra's import capabilities feeding Eden's synth engine playable via TJ interface would be the perfect keyboard sampler for me. I know, I don't want for much!
Generally speaking I'm not either, but I have this wonderful Tenor Sax S-550 sample that needs all those features, and to date the S-550 has not been virtualized for iOS.
