@alecsbuga : it would be great to be able to drag single pads from a crate to a target.
Ok yeah, that’s what I thought 👍
I’ve also checked the storage size for these operations. Even though they’re indeed like symlinks i believe it’s not as straightforward and still annoying. Say you reorder, rename, move or delete the original files… in that case they’d be duplicated. Also when doing the system iCloud backups I believe they do take up double the space, they’re treated like new versions. Not a big fan of the sandbox thingy.
Yeah it does get confusing. I've done this on my main iPad only, to avoid the iCloud dupes and don't sync to desktop.
i would buy but it doesn’t support ios 14, and i will not update my ios version just for an app that doesn’t support the ios version im on, because every app i own which is mostly every daw and auv3 made for iphone work perfectly find on the ios version im on, so it don’t make sense to upgrade just to get an app that won’t support the one im on
Sorry for that. But I used some new APIs from apple and they’re not iOS 13 compatible. It would mean rewriting parts of the app and I don’t have the bandwidth for that unfortunately.
@alecsbuga , I like very much sample crate! My initial ideas:
Even without this Im planning to give 5 stars and recomendation for others like „musi have for organizing huge sample library”. Thank you for the app!
Ok, I found „auto play” is alerady enabled when in list view, in co;lumn only is needed two times tap, so there is no need to change, the app is 5 stars. 👌🔥
Hey, sorry for the late reply, busy at work and haven't checked the forum

Thanks and glad you sorted it out. I was like "Whaat?" the main thing of the app is autoplay
As for latency, I know it frustrates me too. The crate is there to manage sample kits and see how they fit together, but I do wish to fingerdrum on it too
but that part of the code is not the full audio engine of Samplist. Each pad has a small audio player attached to it, so whenever you tap it it loads the wav once and plays it. Hence the latency.
also, I plan to use my Christmas vacation and downtime at work to fix some bugs & implement some pending features requested by users. So stay tuned.
good! as far as I seen, during selection of samples ane after deleting all selected samples browser return to position sometimes not it the same place when I was during hitting delete. i know, deleting meqn less files in list so it is resorted somehow and visible differently, but sometimes it stays at correct place and sometimes not. also I found sometimes when list of samples in folder is huge like 5000 or more, the selection is disapieared, and i must start again to select what I want… so as workaround I delete more often to minimalise risk of lost my selection, but maybe it is some how able to fix… or maybe it is just too long list of files in folder. anyway, I like your app very much , and my bad I biught it so late, better late than never
That's incorrect.
Uhh .... maybe if you rename, though I doubt it. I've never actually tested that.
Probably. I've never verified that.
Renaming doesn’t change the storage. The file system does not use names to track files. It uses file ids which users and apps can’t change.
I don’t believe this is the case BUT I can’t say 100% for sure.
I can’t remember the exact figures but I believe the backup size indicated that they were duplicated.
Even if they’re not, the fact is that the iPad storage numbers and statistics don’t treat these duplications as symlinks. So you have to trust these “accurate guesses” based on file system inner working knowledge rather than the actual numbers displayed on your device.
I'm looking for a solution that would make it easy (or at least easier) to work with the Samples from Mars collection I purchased years ago. I'd love to be able to efficiently find and load samples into Sitala or Koala for sequencing in AUM. Is this app a potential answer?
For years I avoided working with samples because the inventory management minigame drives me bonkers. Trying to overcome that bias...
sample crate is.... app to hear samples inside folders, delete, rename, view in list or columns, move etc
for superbig library I prefer to use desktop computer, and later put choosen files on iPad
Sample crate have their place in all this process (desktop isnt mobile on iPhone, sample crate yes it is)
Thanks for the feedback. I've been working with the library on the desktop so far, and it sounds like the step I really need to take first is to get a proper sample library tool on there. Makes sense.
delete key is most used tool so far
@alecsbuga probably you know… when sample is deleted it disapear, but after a second it shows again in a list view, and in next half second it is again gone…. so list chanes twice , and not as would be more fast only one… its making all deleting process slower, as user must wait until „ghost” will disapear too, to be able precisely select next sample on the list (to listen and eventually delete again). I hope my description is clear. Is this user error or normal behaviour of the app?
No I didn't know about it. I use whatever Files app provides. Does that behave the same?
I noticed I have some tagged files in kits in Files / SampleCrate, and somehow they're not always visible.
Is there a way to to change the preview volume?
+1 and apply on the fly small chain of auv3?
would be nice to listen thru some irs or other medusa/compressors with eq saturation….
Not that i have found, im just used to lower the volume by hand after some startling experiences xD
It's coming. If I don't finish my whole checklist I'll at least release some quick fixes and volume control.
MIDI files preview is working

MIDI!
Actually, I've never used midi libraries until now. But it's useful to browse midi chords like this damn! I've been living under a rock.
I use them for the MPC 1000. I had no idea it opens up MIDI files
@alecsbuga could you possibly add a setting to turn off the orange wav icon as previously discussed?
I love sample crate, and don’t even mind the design of the icon itself - I just find it really jarring against all the other icons in file manager. I’m a designer and very visual person so these things bother me an irrational amount.
Great news for my ears, speakers & headphones 🙏🏽🖤🙏🏽
I was a yo designer 16 years and that’s the reason I put it there too
)
I hated blue icons in SC
I’ll make an option to remove it.
It’s also on the shortlist
It’s more about it not appearing everywhere else in file manager etc. Within the SC interface it definitely makes sense. Not sure if it’s all or nothing though
