What is the best way to sample sounds from desktop to ipad and play with them in auv3 app
What is the best way to move sounds from desktop to ipad to play with them - AND if anyone have sucess to do it.
I have lots of libraries OS2, Kontakt and I have few sounds that I want to transfer.
By sounds I mean synth sounds - mostly PADS and textures
Can You help me?

Audioshare.

yeah, record with AUM and store in Audioshare - I know, but I want to play with the sounds on my keyboard
Are you looking for a way to transfer files, or are you looking for a sampler to play those files?
Transfer = AudioShare
Sampler = AudioLayer https://apps.apple.com/us/app/audiolayer/id1381478666
audioshare is great
you can move the files using your web browser from your computer to audioshare( very simple and efficient) and as @jolico already mentioned you need a sampler to use them. In your case, playing them on a keyboard, audiolayer seems to be the app you need.
If you're using a Mac you can just Airdrop them across.
I was just going to suggest Airdrop - very straightforward.
Send to Box, Drop Box ... if the desktop is Mac then use your free iCloud storage... then import where you want on the iPad
I know how to import. It's not a problem.
The problem is how to transfer sound that way so I could play with them on my ipad. I will try with AudioLayer first
Beatmaker 3 is my favorite
Airdrop from a mac is pretty flawless.
I would just keep a folder in iCloud with your samples. I currently do this with my Sample library. I keep the folder in iCloud so I can access the samples, loops and such from any device.
I have many very good presets in Omnisphere on my desktop and would like port it to ipad and play with them by some sampler/synth - is it possible? what will be the closest tool to do it?
I would sample the patches using the free MPC Desktop app. Here's a video on how to sample the patches you like:

And then to Audiolayer?
Yeah. Or BeatMaker, NanoStudio2 or Drambo or any app which allows you to use samples for instrumentation.
Thanks. I didnt knew that Drambo can do it.... 🧐
Yeah it allows you to import note ranges like BM, NS2 and AudioLayer. The ranges are good if you play multiple octaves. If you’re just using 1 octave you can sometimes get away with just a C2 or C3 sample. Mileage varies of course so just test things out.
Honestly, for me the fastest, easiest and most reliable way is too just use a USB thumb drive.
I use SMB network share, it's the quickest way... copy your files on your computer to your shared network folder and then copy them to your ipad, via the Files app or Documents app, or you can copy them directly into Audioshare.
Thanks for all advices but my main problem was not to move sounds but after recording them (or on PC or with ipad) to play with them (mostly pads) with some app (auv3 compatible). So for now I have stored in my ipad the sounds and try to map them with some sampling app. It's exciting for me because I have loooooots of very good sounds and I'm curious how they will sound if I sample them
Airdrop is much faster, fwiw. On my iPad gen 6, using a fast thumbdrive, it can take something like 10 times as long to transfer a file via the thumbdrive as via AirDrop from my Mac to my iPad.
In that case, kudos on the title of the thread.
You might want to change the title of this thread. A fair number of the forum regulars have old eyes - meaning vision is not so great. Mine ain't that great either.
That said, if your desktop is a Mac, you could try IDAM
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/audiotoolbox/enabling_usb_audio_and_midi_for_ios
" It also lets you transmit MIDI messages between an iOS device and your Mac,"
Unfortunately, iDAM doesn't let audio go from the Mac to the iOS device, only the other way around.
He seems to be more interested in MIDI anyway. But I can't speak for him, really
SonoBus is a pretty neat way to get bi-directional multichannel audio between Mac and iOS if the situation can tolerate some latency.
If you have the latest version of Logic Pro you can drag a sample to the timeline and create a sampler instrument then airdrop it to the iPad and open it in Audiolayer. It’s slightly more involved as you have to make sure you send the instrument and samples and I believe import it into audio layer but you won’t need to do any mapping of the sample 🤷🏽♂️
