Description

AudioLayer satisfies the most sought after gap for contemporary music production on iOS devices. AudioLayer is a full featured open standard audio multi-sampler pushing the boundaries beyond what has been available even in the desktop music production worlds. And all this integrated in all relevant iOS production environments especially the emerging AUv3 AudioUnit standard.
- SSE - Streaming Sample Engine -
The ultra efficient Streaming Sample Engine SSE is capable of playing hundreds of voices of big multi-sampled instruments even in strictly resource limited applications like using multiple instances of AudioLayer in AudioUnit host environments. Innovative features like Sub Sample Looping for perfect loops even in the audible range extend the range of applications even further.
- Multiple storage options -
The consequent usage of the open file structure of the Files app makes organising even large sample libraries a breeze. Sample recordings and Instrument designs made with AudioLayer are seamlessly available across all your devices and desktop using either iCloud storage or external SSD. The iCloud option opens up new forms of collaborations with musicians all around the world to share your creations and work together.
- Multi Scope Editing -
To support the creation of complex multi-sampled instruments AudioLayer allows you to use a hierarchical structure of Layers and Zones each with it’s own sound manipulation parameters. A unique element of AudioLayer is the possibility to decide for each Zone at which Scope level your editing apply: For the all Zones in the Instrument, for the Layer only or individually for this Zone only. This opens a whole new world of creative options for sound mangling. For sound manipulation you can use a full set of Filters, Envelopes and LFOs to shape the pitch, timbre and level of the sound of each Zone.
SIS - Seamless Instrument Switching
The unique architecture of the Streaming Sample Engine allows for instant loading of even complex instruments and makes this switching from one Instrument to the next without cutting off the sound! And this includes of course also different effect setting
- Easy Design Workflow -
The built in audio sample recorder let you create Instruments on the fly in seconds. The Music Effect AudioUnit / Audiobus effect plugin of AudioLayer let you record multi-samples semi automatically directly inside your preferred host and instantly create an Instrument with the help of several Auto mapping options available. This includes file name based mapping of key ranges and velocities and automatic pitch detection. For the creatives we’ve also integrated a special “Single Cycle Waveform” detector making the use of this special files a breeze.
- Auto Sampler feature for easy creation of Sample Instruments from hardware synthesiser.
- Versilian Studio Sample Library ( VCSL/VSCO ) for free download
- Exchange libraries with XinematiX App

Very Useful

The app works great with the brand new iPad Pro 2024 13" model. This is my go-to Sampler so I am happy to report that it remains a top-notch product!

Pretty incredible

Love it

It just keeps getting better and better at making “instruments”. Best in Class.

Over the course of several years, AudioLayer has adding import capabilities for EXS24, SFX and *now* SF2 soundfonts. And once you import these collections of samples you can continue to edit them and make even more complex and amazing instruments. Storage works on IOS device, iCloud, or external storage and you’ll probably want to build a massive collection. Importing samples from anywhere and importing them into AudioLayer is so easy and powerful: either by filename conventions, root pitches or sequenced. There’s a nice rack of FX functions to add and lot’s of control over layers, zones and such. And now AudioLayer shares instruments bi-directionally with the KARO sample based Xinematix app so that’s yet another way to pull in samples for instrument and sound design purposes. It’s the most powerful auto-sampler and instrument builder on IOS.

Crash happy

Hello, i have an iPad Pro 12.9 updated to the newest iOS and , this application always crash’s when i open it up… please fix this issue

Fantastic

Would be great if it had an oscillator and invert phase function

Imports EXS, no Program Change, Limited CC Support

Waste my time on

United States

The Good: Imports multi layer EXS24 instruments Nice Effects Saves samples locally to phone or load from iCloud Good if you play one instrument at a time (like a bottom keyboard piano) and you have plenty of time to change sounds using the menu list. I use Audiolayer to play my 200mb piano exes multisample. Works nicely! The Bad: Does not receive program changes Limited Controller Support Cannot quickly change from piano to saw and tweak filter cutoff or effects in real-time I use a 500mb soundfont and an iOS sf2 player for all my single/ top keyboard dynamic sounds… This app is one step away from a being a classic multisample performance instrument.

The best on iOS… let’s make it better

This is the closest thing to a kontakt-type sample player for iOS because it has multi-layer and round robin support. What would make it even better are the following: a purge unused function, multi-out support, batch editing for multiple zones, and macro (customizable gui?) support. Obviously, these are just suggestions and I can get what I need out of it as-is for the most part. Hopefully the developer will continue to develop this great tool!

Missing Program Change!

soundoggy on

United States

The sampler works great, and I love the EXS24 importing. BUT I can’t use the app with my live performance setup because I can’t switch instruments via MIDI program change messages. This is an essential function which I hope the author adds in a future update.

EXS24 Import Issues - Latest Update

Mattgigms on

United States

I used to LOVE this app! Closest thing to Kontakt for the iPad! But with this latest update, it no longer allows me to load custom exs24 or sfz instruments? It gives me this error that says samples are missing? I’m not sure why this just started happening after I updated, but if youguys can fix this, then 5-Star rating for sure! Sorry for the bad review, but this is going to be a killer if this issue never resolved! Please let me know if youguys can fix this. Thank you! PS. Midi Volume control in the future would be a nice feature I think.
