    Looks interesting! You can never have enough tags when you start a sample collection ☺️
    What would be great is to integrate advanced batch renaming functions.
    And maybe later, .zip a/o .rar files support.

    Then a question comes to my mind: don't you risk being turned away from the AppStore with an app that looks like files.app? @alecsbuga

    Special mention to the colors, orange and black are my favorites !

    My guess is he’s using the files app api to build stuff upon, Just like readle Documents launches the same file app browser, or any app, really…

    This looks terrific!. So useful.
    Being able to preview kits from within the file browser is such a great and handy feature.
    The Sample Chains feature is something I’m always needing and never have a good solution for. I’d use it to make wavs for the Digitakt and specially for Drambo’s Flexi sampler.
    I’m so looking forward to trying this out!. Following…

    Edit: just checked out the video. I can’t see if there’s an option to reorder The samples in order to export the sample chain. It’s very important in the case of velocity samples (snare01, snare10, snare20) to be able to order them in the chain. Is this the case?. Cheers!

  • @alecsbuga you will be supporting multitasking views and drag and drop, right?

  • @tahiche Thanks. Yeah I'm looking into sorting because it's useful for playing drums also. Yes I'm using the iOS Files APIs.
    @MadGav it does. Check the video. YOu can run it side by side or over Koala or BM3 and drag stuff over.

    I have another feature proposal: loop player and companion AU

    This feature is actually what loopcloud offers. In the app you can browse loops and it loads them into a loop player on double tap. The loop player allows on the fly to tune the loop and adjust its tempo. It reads metadata regarding tune and tempo from the audio file or parses it from the file name. The companion AU allows to stream the audio of the loop player into an AU host and it communicates the AU host‘s tempo back to the app which then adjusts the loop in the player to this tempo automatically. In the loopcloud approach the app has got four tracks for loop playback, but I would already be happy with just one :smile:

    I know this is quite an advanced feature but I would love to have that on the iPad. Or does Loopy Pro already do this?

    You clearly identified that there is no decent audio file management on iOS. AudioShare somehow does not develop any further. This app has great potential. Can’t wait to test it.

  • Sorry... no AU. It drove me nuts with Samplist. It's freaking rocket science.
    I have some plans for some tune buttons so you can quickly tune your pads to see if they work well together. But I don't want to invest too much time in development if there is not much interest. I'm doing this as a side gig after my job :)

    But I'll try to add loop playing by toggling the pad on/off. Thanks.

    The app already has a SEND FEEDBACK button so feedback will be more than welcome.

    Loopy Pro lets you preview an imported loop at current tempo, which is great. Zenbeats is even faster at this, one of its greatest features where you can preview any loop in context.
    BUT in both cases the samples have to be in the app’s media bay or sandboxed file thingy…. Which means you have to import a shitload of loops over and over. Copy them to Zenbeats, to Loopy, to Drambo… the beauty of this sample manager would be if you could do this PRIOR to importing, which is sort of what you’re saying. Right?. Although I doubt you’d be able to hear a loop in time with whatever you’re playing like in Zenbeats… oh, I see, that’s where the companion AU would come in, right?. Seems hard!

    It’s not available to test, yet, right?. Please keep us updated! 🤟👍

  • It's DOPE ! can't wait to test it with Testflight if you need :) Awesome project

  • Thanks guys, I'm glad you find it useful too.

  • @alecsbuga This looks awesome! How would it work if you have all your samples already in AudioShare? Will the app be able to see and manipulate those files?

  • You can use it to browse ALL your iOS folders. Including other app folders. Which is fucking dope :)

    I don‘t think its harder than a synth. I am begging loopmasters for some time to land on iOS but they don’t listen 😭 Loopcloud is also a great sample manager with all the bells and whistles, tagging, search, parsing the audio files to acquire the metadata and create search indexes. Just try it if you are also using a laptop, it’s free and you don‘t have to become a loopcloud customer - their service is similar to splice with a subscription based model. But in the free tier you can use it as a sample manager for your own collection. It’s very cool. When you found matching loops you can import them directly as audio clips into your Ableton project with a click of a button. I would love to have this on the iPad.

    Understood. This feature is probably a bit far fetched. I agree it’s a good idea to focus on the main functions and make them rock solid. An easy way to preview loops is probably simple but nonetheless very helpful. Please put me on the list of beta testers.

  • Brilliant, looks great! Excited to try this.

  • Looks super dope! Drop me a link when testflight is open please. Cheers

  • Looks great I’d be interested in testing as well

    @alecsbuga awesome! Great to discover wishes already anticipated.

  • Any chance of adding a little more functionality and having this instead of Files?

    And voilá Batch Rename.
    The thing is, it only works if the samples are in the app's directory otherwise iOS doesn't let you do anything.

    But I'm thinking of a workaround. Copy the files in the App directory, and THEN rename them.

  • @alecsbuga If the app’s directory is just an iCloud directory, I can see myself moving all my samples into it anyway.

  • @alecsbuga any eta for the beta or the release?

  • I'm planning to submit a beta to Apple for TestFlight next week.
    But I need to prep the icon, marketing shit... because they need to approve it.

  • Fingers crossed they review it fast.

    Awesome. Thanks for the info.

  • Woo, looking forward to this.

    Not sure how many samples people would have... but maybe it would be good for the number to be double figures, like 01, 02, 03...
    because if they reach 11, 15, 25, etc. it still keeps ordering tidy.

    I say this because I batch rename a lot on my job with graphical assets :lol:
