Flip Sampler

Could be perfect if we could have a custom number of pads and the ability to choose several folders Line 1 : drums Line 2 : bass Line 3 : melody Line 4 : chords etc… Also I have a recurring bug that makes the « randomize all pads » not working and randomize only one pad

It just lacks the loop option in the sample editor. Maybe for the next update? :)

The app workflow and features are really great, but the app is not optimized for the ipad pro yet. The piano roll is really small and hard to work with. Moreover, it would be really cool to be able to record 8 bars loops for chord progressions

Easy and powerfull. Need update for fixing crashs just when you start to enjoy :’@

Surprised on how easy it is to use ! Super intuitive tool, amazing job on the workflow.

This is the ios music machine I’m waiting for year. But I noted as time as I plug external audio interface the app crashes. Too bad :(

Flip can definitely be used to make some great beats. It’s logically laid out, intuitive to learn, generally fun to use, and can do a lot, despite being limited to 9 sample pads (unlike the multiple banks of 16 pads each on an app like the IMPC). The help function is very useful and well-implemented. I love this thing overall, and it’s easier to use than the IMPC, but it does have some areas where operation can be frustrating and could be improved. I don’t know how feasible it’d be to have separate mixer settings, FX settings and samples for each pattern within a program, but it’d be highly useful and much appreciated. I can live without that, though. Limitations can breed creativity. More importantly, I’ve found the multitrack tape recorder and stem export functions to be buggy—which is frustrating, because they’re also incredibly useful for getting the sequences into a DAW as a multitrack session…when they work right. My stem tracks have randomly come out incomplete and different lengths (or with no sound) for no apparent reason; then when I try again with the same settings, everything renders perfectly and with matching lengths. Nasty clipping distortion also happens much more easily on rendered tracks than is audible when listening in the mixer; I’ve often had to re-render stems several times in a row, with elements of the mix turned down more and more, before I could get a clean result. The app also seems to have crashed on me a couple times, but it’s constantly autosaving, which is a fantastic feature that helps make crashes much less frustrating. Despite the sometimes annoying drawbacks, this app is fantastic value and I’d recommend it. Just be aware that it’s seemingly not perfect. Hopefully the stuff I describe will be fixed (or it’s all just the result of me doing something wrong). The app’s definitely still fun and useful overall.

I want to love this app. Typically it’s a great tool for improvising & sketching out melodies & percussion ideas. But there’s unfortunately too much inconsistency & bugs with sample recording. Half the time it works great - I hit the record button & hum a note or make some sort of drum sound with my mouth & flip automatically find the starting point. But more often it seems to just be latching onto a bit of noise (according to the waveform) or sometimes the waveform looks correct, but it just won’t play back my recording at all. Not sure if this is just a problem for me or if it’s a common occurrence. Other than that bug it’s usually a great & fun app.

I love making beats on this software and messing with it on my computer, this is a seamless process of recording samples, to recording session, to saving to my iCloud, to editing software it’s amazingly simple. I would give it 5 stars but have a simple grape with the app now won’t let me upload things to it to use not sure why but gives me an error, but other then that I love this app I like restarting sample pads so it wasn’t to much of an inconvenience. I do have a update idea, have the option to maybe edit names of the pads page and also maybe have the option to change the colors of them. That would be amazing to helping me decipher my pads lol. But thanks for making a great app!

TL;DR don't rely on any one DAW especially this one that's still new. An apple pen might come in handy more than not. It's about the sampler for quick ideas and fun not detail but it's still handy.------------------- Inspired by Andrew Huang and excited to hear of his new app I bought the latest iPad mini (not sure if it's as good as his phone he uses for the videos) and thought it was very innovative and still do. My problem is making mistakes on the daw is troublesome to fix when the playlist sequencer is the most difficult to use out of my others (beatmaker 3 and cubasis, even GB). The metronome isn't working for me either and sometimes you can lose samples if not saved correctly in flip. Itd be nice to handle your notes in sequence without richocheting a bunch of copy pasta and then having to tirelessly undo them individually. New criticism: I made a beat with a similar name to another project I did a while back ( I'm lucky I finished exporting that beat into a song or this would be a lot angrier) and when I tried to rename the beat i did a while back whilst still being on the newer beat I made, flip app overwrote what I made with my older beat with the new beats contents. This is something I couldn't undo with the undo arrow. This app is too old to have some crap like this happening but I'm grateful I was proactive about that beat or I'd have literally destroyed it from a simple mistake. Cmon guys.
