it is installing now!
thanks for the heads up. Looks awesome. happy to support this effort. (4.99 made me think a bit though. 3.99 would have jumped right on. well i only thought for about 10 secs. interesting anyway, no?)

ok i've played it with it long enough to say at the very least it is very well made. Really nice UI, runs smoothly on my ipad1 and sounds great. So far it is one of the cooler apps i have played with. I guess it wouldn't be responsible to recommend it based on 10 mins, but i'm recommending it.

Is the sample import 16/44.1 only, or can it accept higher bit rates and resolutions?

Hi Bleb, you can load any sample quality as long as it is in WAV format. Hope it helps. Best!

Is it me or does the interface design look as if it has been influenced somewhat by the OP-1?

He is the co-creator of Reactable..
Sure he add copy/paste and export soon.

Hi,
you can import any sample quality, as long as it is in WAV format.
Audio copy/paste is coming in a future update.
Best!

it does look like OP-1, and i'm so glad! It's dope.

two very important questions.

1. are there any plans to allow in app access to your itunes library not just wavs but mp3s as well?

2. can it be used to edit audio for example do I need to import only loops or can I just import raw audio and make my loops from within the app that would be a great time saver. it would need audio trimming and truncating,does it have it?

thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you for making this app!!!!!!

Funny... I thought "FUK this app is amazing and only 4.99! and bought it straight away. Interesting? No... Stop whining about a 5 dollar app, i cant even think of any other sampler on the market like this. Its only $5 ffs. yeeez.

I don't think he was complaining at all. Just saying what his initial gut reaction was to the price tag.

I wasn't whining fatboy. With so many apps, some overpriced and some that look great but don't end up getting much use, i had to think about it. After trying it i am glad i got it and would say it is worth more than $5. It's one of the better music apps i've used and i have a LOT of them.at the same time, it won't be for everyone.

This is a pretty cool app. It's going to take a while to really understand how to work with it, and it's not really in line with the sort of music I make, but it's fun and innovative. Good use of a 5-spot, IMO.

what sort of music do you make that's not in line with a sampler?

anybody have any more info on the app I went to the site and it doesn't say much in the way of future plans?

I got this yesterday on the strength of the promo video. So glad I did. Really fun intuitive app. Cant wait for audio copy/paste so I can quickly create my own loops and manipulate them to hearts desire. Top work Marcos.

Well impressed that Samplr works so well with my ageing iPad 1. A great app indeed, although somewhat worried that now it's too easy to sound just like Aphex Twin, Four Tet and Autechre et al.

Tom_TM, don't worry about creativity - Herbie Hancock became great after (& despite) the invention of the player piano!

This is a simply amazing piece of software, one that brilliantly exploits the touch interface, and will engender new avenues of creativity. I am stunned, and indebted to it's inventor - top notch!

@kobamoto -- I mostly play blues, folk, and punk, with my main instrument being an electric guitar. The music is somewhere between Leo Kottke and Gang of Four. I don't really use sampler very often (no glitching, wubs, dub step, whatever you kids call it these days...), and when they do show up, it's for straight-forward one shot playback. Samplr is a lot of fun to play with, though.

Can you record your performance and export/render it? Or is it only more live performance oriented as the description says?

samplelab
workbench
...
filtatron

there are other apps like this one but not exactly like this one... we need to start seeing some comparisons, otherwise every new kid app comes here and becomes already the fad app of the moment...

Thanks Marcos, it's an amazing app!
Can't wait to see what you have in store for the future.

So, I bought this app and it's OUTSTANDING!!!

Like werkbench you kinda have to get into the "thought process" of playing with this, like learning a new instrument.
Unlike sample lab, this is made for playing live performance.

Here's to hoping for MIDI support, audiocopy/audiopaste, iCloud backups and dedicated channel FX

Great stuff Marcos, keep up the good work!!
