I’m looking for a sampler for violin etc
Hey guys can anyone recommend a good sampler that has awesome realistic sounds. I like worldly sounds like sitar, violins, flute etc. and I’d like to be able to change sounds by midi

There’s SoundFonts: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/soundfonts/id1453325077
And AudioLayer: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/audiolayer/id1381478666
I would err on the side of physical modelling, personally.
SWAM, I believe, is one of the big ones for iOS.
So would I, but they asked for sample based apps.
As far as violins and physical modeling go, I’d recommend the SWAM violin app, the GeoShred Pro app with SWAM violin and FingerFiddle.

Of course, MIDI control over these as AUv3’s is not uniformly available. FingerFiddle has no MIDI function, but it sounds fantastic.
Soundfonts are a good option if you're up for trial and error downloading things you find on the net. Stuff out there is a real mixed bag. I generally use bs-16i, but SoundFonts is a good option too.
Pure Synth Platinum covers a lot of ground. It also has a powerful synth, that many people overlook, for mangling, combining, or improving sounds. Takes a lot of storage though.
If you’re on the beta build your own in loopy pro and buy some quality sample packs.
You have to collect them… Thumbjam, WorldSynth, BeatHawk inapps, PureSynthPlatinum, SWAMs… better than soundfonts, IMO, but there are many who disagree.
Someone mentioned Beathawk over on the Loopy beta. Indeed, there are some excellent IAP sound packs in there.
Hmm sounds interesting, like a kontakt for iOS. It’s only $15 so might have to sample it (pun intended)
I do like thumb jam but should have mentioned I need auv3, I’m gonna look into swams, cheers man
Sales should be coming up again (I think). Most of BeatHawk’s acoustics are paid in apps. The SWAMs are $30 now. They’ll come down to $20 eventually. Unfortunately, you just missed Black Friday. Be patient, if you can. Follow the app sales thread!
Don’t forget that even though ThumbJam isn’t auv3 it has 8 available instrument slots, each individually routable so you can do a lot with it👍
Sitar, violin, flute ?? Just go for GeoShred with right IAPs (GeoViolin, GeoFlute).
Someone mentioned audiolayer. It offers some chunky orchestral samples that you can download for free.
DecentSampler is free, download instruments from the pianobook website, which is also free!
What exactly is swam?
Yeah I did like decent sampler but I dont think I can change sounds with midi pc messages
I’m gonna have to get it then 😌
I do have that and like the sound however I was wanting to use a midi controller but dont have a roli seaboard or mpe controller

You can. Just send Midi on channel 2.
