iPad OS Samplers. What’s the most comprehensive?
Been playing with Bitwig sampler last couple of days and wishing we had something similar on iPad ?
Maybe we do but not all in one package.
Does one exist with key tracking, multi play heads with chords, freeze, granular mode plus the usual, ADSR, AMP, envelopes, LFO,s etc. A decent fully featured AU sampler app doesn’t seem to exist yet? I’m not really interested in big file multi samplers like Audio Layer as they take to long to set up etc.
On desktop the Tal Sampler looks well put together would like to see that ported over.
The Logic Pro Quick sampler and BM3 samplers are not bad but would like to see a decent AU sampler with all the bells and whistles to use outside of Logic / BM3.
Comments
I love the TAL sampler and the newer TAL drum. Both would make phenomenal IOS apps.
Maybe Koala , but it doesn’t have such powerful sampling capabilities. It’s a bit more like an old school approach. I wish it had more envelopes and filters to create sound design.
Yes love Koala for its Groovebox sample abilities but it’s currently quite basic as a sampler for sound design.
If enough people were ready to pay desktop prices for such iOS apps then I believe it would have happened already, long ago.
Do TAL still develop new iOS apps?
I’ve never found Koala basic for sound design, you just do the sound design differently than other places. You layer samples (by simply dragging them), resample, bounce, etc. The fact that sounds can be layered so easily is the best thing. It’s like a painters palette but with sounds
BM3
I think Samplewiz ticks most boxes except that the UI will increase cognitive load.
The feature set is incredible and the 1 button record is huge.
Reslice . 1 action to record. Autosliced right awy
Samplist. Great UI, no auv3
Enso. One of a kind, has issue
Samplr, still a masterpiece. Made for touch
Grooverider/patterning. Superior sample management on import, sample control
Tardigrain
Ableton bringing simpler to iOS. Yeah, right
I second Samplewiz 2. The collab between Bleass and Jordan. Fantastic sampler AUv3. But yeah its UI increases CPU load.
Audiolayer works just as well with single samples but the lack of AU automation diminishes an otherwise great product.
TAL would be great indeed.
As an alternative, Drambo sampler is great because you can add and automate modules as needed.
TAL-U-NO-LX seems like it was testing the waters. I think overall it does well but I wonder if they just don’t think it’s worth the effort to port to iOS.
Could be. I absolutely love that synth though. It’s one of the most convincingly analog synths on iOS to me. I really hope they continue porting stuff as the drummer and sampler look amazing.
It’s already been mentioned but SampleWiz 2 is really fantastic. There’s also Dawnbeat though it only hosts AUs and takes a more classic 303/404 approach.
Fieldscaper is powerful if you can get used to the UI. Drambo’s Flexi Sampler is great. I haven’t tried the 4pockets one (Chameleon I think?) but I’ve heard good things there as well.
Outside of that it gets more niche. Like iSequence, Egoist, Beatsurfing, Elsa, Gauss, etc. I love iOS as a sampler, it’s my favorite thing about it, but I guess I use it in a more experimental way.
I agree. I get what they mean but I’ve always found Koala to be super powerful for what I’m doing. I can get some batshit sounds going with it.
I've always had a rough time with batshit sounds. I find it helps if you start with fresh bat shit, not the store bought stuff. Your local wet market (preferably one nowhere near any biological labs) is a possible source if you don't have any suitable caves nearby. Ask the locals. They always know where to find the best shit.
😂😂😂 A really good bat shit sound can spread through the whole world
Store bought bat shit is for the birds. Gimme the local stuff any day. Homegrown batshit if you will.
