Async Sampler beta
Async Sampler has entered beta, and comes with a well composed manual too.
To find out more and request to join the beta, visit https://www.instagram.com/p/CtLkHzKuCDc/ and leave a comment or a message for @froggolab
I won't be checking back for comments, as I spend little time here, but wanted to share the info for anyone who doesn't know. Happy chatting everyone. x

First five minutes play with this and the experimentalist sampler musician gonna love this. Great for drones etc. Wouldn’t say it’s App Store ready yet as still a bit rough around the edges but a lot of fun. And yes people will be asking for connectivity but it is early days.
For sure. It's looking pretty inspiring from here.
One thing to add. A chat with the dev earlier revealed that there will likely be an audio input option somewhere down the line. (I was asking about recording direct into Async with my Shure MV-88.)
Ciao. x
Sweet I’m sure this is just the start to a bright future in this apps development.
@andowrites Whats the best way to contact the dev do you know apart from TestFlight and social media ?
Hello, everyone!
I'm the developer of Async Sampler. Thanks for creating this thread
This is an early stage of beta testing, and the app will have further changes. In the future, we plan to create both an AUv3 version and an iPad version (we decided to start with the iPhone version, and the UI for iPad will be implemented differently).
User manual in attachment
Just fixing the formatting for the manual URL:

You're most welcome. This is too good a prospect, not to share. I'm glad you're here to answer any questions.
Welcome to the forum! Congratulations on the new app, I love a good sampler. It looks awesome. I’d love to try it out, I’ll DM you my TestFlight email right in this forum, there’s a little envelope at the top, if you can’t see it, tap on your icon image in top right corner. Cheers.
Update having some trouble with the forum messages I’ll hop on Instagram.
Okay yeah this app is really freaking cool. No iPad version yet but like someone else mentioned, if you’re into the experimental and quick but extreme sample manipulation, keep an eye out for this one.
Very very fun app!!
ok this is sick. will buy for sure.
Highly promising indeed, fantastic potential, would be VERY popular as an AUv3!
This is fun
And a great start
Can I record anything?
Thanks! Recording is not possible now, but we are considering adding such a feature. Are you mean recording the instrument's output? Or recording from the audio input so that it can be used directly in the sampler? Or both?
Output of running 3 samples together, but the more options the better
How do I I assign the rate etc from the left panel, I can add to the samples but then can’t remove or replace the assigned knob ? Or select another knob to assign
Sorry
Just got the link to the manual
Will read that in the morning
this is how assigning modulation should work.
Hi!
To unassign LFO from a specific parameter, you need to click "Assign" and then double-click the parameter you want to unassign
Thanks @Froggo_Lab
Having fun with this
Yep especially if you can load it into an fx slot to record directly into the samplers.
Yes - I found it bizarre that this function is missing from apps like Loopmix, for example
thanks! I'll definitely think about it
Also simultaneous rec/play of the buffers for asynchrony delay/live looping! I just sent you some messages in instagram with some examples and links. Would be awesome some in the lines of monome norns scripts like Cranes, Otis, MLR or NDLS:
With the iPad I’m having fun doing this in AUM setting a couple of channels with ENSO, and using external sends (not using ENSO internal feedback parameter) for feed and cross feedback between the loopers.
Having all of this in async sampler would be great
Awesome 🙏 thanks!
Agreed. I’m more forgiving since this app is still in beta and the dev seems very open to recommendations, but Loopmix most definitely needs that feature. Like you said, it’s always kinda strange to me that any big sampling app doesn’t have this option.
Great! Thanks for the links, I'll definitely check it out
@Froggo_Lab
In general really cool app.
One minor thing, I personally thought it might be more natural to close a section by pressing on the wrench. You can open each section that way but to close it you must open another section instead of simply being able to open and close the same section with the same button.
Also… I haven’t done extensive testing with this second thing but it seems like when I slow the speed of a loop, but then speed it back up to normal speed, the pitch seems higher then it was originally when it started in the middle. Almost like it sets the new normal when you pitch down, then continues to pitch up further than the knob did initially. I hope this makes sense, lol. I know the speed directly effects the pitch, but it almost sounds like once you slow it down, then speed it back up you can make it faster then you could initially Maybe it’s me, or some auditory illusion, I don’t know. It just seemed to get really high after I slowed it down, then sped it back up. Just thought I’d mention it to see if anyone else noticed something similar.
if you make the wrench button close the tab, then another tab should immediately open, but it is not known which of the six, so I did not do that. but in general, in the iPad version (when I make it) there will be no mechanism for opening / closing tabs, the size of the large screen of the tablet will allow you to place all the elements without the need to hide unnecessary
thanks, I didn't notice this behavior - need to check
Yea I can see where that could cause a bit of what to do, what opens, what’s the best way. That sounds cool for iPad. It wasn’t a major issue at all, I guess I’m just used to opening and closing sections in that way. Cheers.
I have no real proof, and I might be mistaken. I’ll run a few more tests soon to see if I notice it again. Basically I would change speed on all 3 loops and jam with fx, tinker while it played, then after a bit I would change all the speeds again to make something different from same factory loops. The one time i really thought I noticed it, was with one of the factory pad loops, I had it slowed down awhile, then when i sped it up to the high end, it seemed to get really, really high in pitch. Maybe it was just a misperception of the audio, from being slowed down awhile then pitched up. Maybe it was that particular pad sound. But it was something i immediately took note of, because the pad sound was basically too high to use when sped up 75-80%, and at the time it seemed higher then it originally sounded the first time, when I was setting the speed. I’d hate for you to waste too much time on this, cause I’m unsure, I just know it stood out to me at the time. I just wanted to mention in case others noticed it, for possible corroboration, or at least let you know so you can keep an eye on it. It happened a few days before I originally posted it.
I was in standalone on iPhone 13 Pro iOS 16.6 when it happened, might have been the previous most OS version just before I recently updated I can’t remember.
I probably should have ran additional tests first.. well…. you live you learn.
