Description

"surprisingly powerful" - Wall Street Journal
used by DJ/producer Zedd! // supports Audiobus, MIDI, iOS13

Sir Sampleton is a sampling musical keyboard inspired by Casio and Yamaha samplers from the 80s. The app allows you to record sounds through the microphone and then play them on dual piano keyboards accompanied by a rhythm machine. You'll be surprised at the lush, complex musical sounds that can be created with samples of your voice, musical instruments, and other noises. Samples can be looped, customized, saved, and emailed, and we offer free samples for download on our website.

Supports Audiobus, Inter-app Audio, CoreMIDI, MIDI Mobilizer 1 and 2. Works as a virtual instrument for apps like Cubasis, Beatmaker 2, and Genome sequencer. Capable of sampling other apps and effects through Audiobus.

Sampleton applies a subtle stereo effects process to the audio giving it a fuller, warmer sound that you'd typically get from sampling a monaural microphone.

Noise problem

Getting a distorted sound when I try to record myself. Worked fine on my phone until a couple years ago. The new update helped a little but not much. Willing to up the stars in exchange for a fix. Thanks in advance, Paul!

Developer Response ,

The issue should be fixed in the latest update. Sorry for the delay, but it was not possible to reproduce the issue on any of my devices or on Apple's iOS simulators.

Screen lock issue

I want to love this app, but for some reason most of the time when I open the app the screen is rotated incorrectly, and the graphics are squished and lining up to where the buttons are mapped on the screen. When it works it’s awesome, but most of the time it is not working for me despite the settings on my iPad. It requires a full restart of the iPad every time for the screen to reset.

I’m on an iPad Air, 5th gen

No compatibility with GarageBand?

This Would be a useful, powerful and simple sampler if it was compatible with garage band. Unfortunately there is no option to switch back and forth between the to apps like other sampling apps rendering recoding impossible and making this nothing more than a waste of a dollar. If you fix it it'll earn 5 stars.
