    Any chance you could add a loop function and auto-play to the transport

    Yep, no problem! The loop function is an easy one so I’ll be tackling that first, and then I can get cracking in the transport auto-play and see if I can make it happen.

    Congratulations on the release @lewisleval.

    Just so I can be clear: Cache can be loaded as an AU and then files dragged and dropped from Cache into the host and into AU fx which accept audio import? Is that correct?

    Any chance of bpm estimation to go with the key estimation?

    Thank you! Yep, that’s exactly it. I made this because I was growing tired of dragging samples in from outside of AUM, I wanted to be able to browse, audition and drag them quickly from inside it. I’m also not a fan of how Cubasis handles sample import as well so Cache works nicely there too.

    Some apps have a built in file browser for samples, but unless you know the exact sample you’re going for, it can be time consuming loading samples in, listening to them, then repeating the process to load and audition a new one. So as long as the destination instrument or effect supports drag and drop, like Elsa, Outgrowth, Koala, etc, then you’ll be able to drag from Cache. The same goes for timelines that support drag and drop too like Logic and Cubasis.

    The bpm indicator is something I’m currently working on 😊

    That's awesome! Thanks very much. I bought it this morning and a loop option stood out to me so I'll really appreciate it.

    Maybe a crowdsourced list of AUv3s that support this kind of drag and drop would be useful: So, Elsa, Outgrowth, Koala - what else?

    So I bought it and just tested it in AUM. (You load it into an audio effect slot) and was able to drag a sample right from it, into a Flexi sampler module in the Drambo AUV3 on another channel. Worked smoother than a baby’s bottom!

    Interesting! Did you verify that the sample you dropped from Cache wasn’t already downloaded to Drambo’s own Samples folder? In the past I’ve dropped flexi samples onto Koala pads, but vice-versa never worked for me.

    Good point. Honestly I’m not 100% sure, as now it seems that only some folders with samples work. Maybe the upcoming update will fix some things.

    Tested in stand alone mode. Has the audioshare update been released? I can see the folder but it’s greyed out and cannot access it. iPhone 15 and iOS 26.

    Not to worry, the update is coming :) I fixed the AudioShare compatibility last night and today I’m working through a couple of extra fixes that I’ve received from feedback, and then I’ll be sending the update to Apple. After that, it usually takes Apple a few hours to approve an update, and then it’ll be available. I’ll let you know as soon as it’s ready :)

    Great! Many thanks 🙏

    Maybe turn the app icon on its side so it doesn’t look like The Bird (which I realize is not a thing in all parts of the world).

  • AudioGusAudioGus

    Would be cool if it had a waveform display and simple transpose (just playback speed).

    Having something like that in BM3, sampling direct to pads would be amazing.

    Is this an intro price or the regular one?

    @lewisleval: great AU. I am finding that if samples are on a cloud drive, selecting one doesn’t download it and it won’t play or drag/drop and I don’t see a way to force it to download.

    Thank you! Great observation, I’ll be looking into this today. Currently, Cache has no authority over any files, it’s essentially a “path host”, so it can only access what’s readily available. I will see if I can give it some permissions to pull from cloud storage when necessary.

    FWIW, koala’s browser is able to indicate whether cloud files are locally downloaded and have an icon to initiate download. That functionality is also in the Files browser that apps can use. It seems like those functions may be available to any app that can browse the file system.

    Note in the screenshot that is a directory being browsed not a directory owned by koala.

    Doesn’t work with tardigrain for me. I’m doing something wrong, I’m sure

    @lewisleval buying this because of the need to be buying it because after all you've been making it for us to buy. Well done. Keep up the additional additions etc.

    Drag and drop works in both Loopy Pro as a host and as an AUv3 plugin.

    Audioshare not yet💪

  • Robin2Robin2

    Does anyone dare contacting Audio Damage to let them know that drag and drop into an Audio Unit is possible? When it comes to Circa, they insist it isn’t possible, or am I misunderstanding something? Surely this app and the others mentioned show that it is possible?

    It's because they use JUCE as a framework. Actually, drag and drop is possible with JUCE plugins, via workarounds. Audiomodern did it with Loopmix. But apparently it was hard work. So either Audio Damage don't know how to do it, or they may not think they can justify the time. But from what I know, if they think it's impossible, they're probably wrong

    But yeah, if they say it's an Apple restriction, that's 100% wrong.

    damn, how cool would it be if Igor's sample based apps had drag and drop

  • lewislevallewisleval

    I wish Gauss supported drag and drop too. I'm really not a fan of using in-app file browsers. In a folder containing 30+ samples, loading them in one by one just to hear them is such a headache.

    I guess since you now made the dragging much simpler and more comfortable now some people have to up their dropping game ;)

    Thanks for clarifying @Gavinski. I don’t think I’ve got the energy to try to argue the case with them though - that statement in the user manual makes me think they’re pretty sure they’re right even if they’re not. I’ve already suggested they add regular Files app based sample import if drag and drop isn’t possible so I feel I’d be pushing my luck to get in touch again to say, ‘actually, you might be wrong about drag and drop’! Shame, sample import of some sort would really be useful.
