Salome - MPE Audio Sampler

Great for grabbing audio and creating a playable instrument, but no time-stretching option makes it very limited. The addition of a tempo-aligned grid, or time-stretching would allow us to play rhythmic samples in time at any pitch - but at present any rhythm content goes completely out of sync. Also I have a lot of issues with stuck MIDI notes when sequencing from another app. The ‘panic’ button is in constant use! No buyer’s remorse as it’s great for basic sample playing and soundscapes, but sync and time-stretching options would make it much more usable.

Literally only played it for a few minutes, so not an expert take - but immediately I’m able to play in sounds and then manipulate them in a very open playable way - just using the screen, not an external mpc controller. My brain often trips up on lots of these kinds of apps, but this is quite different and very musical. Top.

I like the idea of the app but there are a number of things ‘wrong’ with it. 1. Frequent stuck MIDI notes when using external keyboard 2. The sampling feature produces sounds two octaves higher than the original. With only one octave of tuning adjustment this can’t be corrected. 3. There isn’t any way to specify the root note of the imported WAV file, so it plays in wrong octave. 4. The sample feature doesn’t produce a particularly accurate version of the sound source, although it does produce ‘interesting’ sounds because of this. 5. Most unfathomably, the app does not respond to MIDI sustain input. Can’t understand why a keyboard enabled app would not have this.

There are any number of looping apps, some vastly complex others very simple. All have their niche, and qualities. Salome, sits somewhere in the middle. Brambos has cracked the nut of being easy to use, but also quite versatile. Salome is very, very handy for easily recording new instruments, which can then be loaded in another instance of the app as instruments. Played either live or via another app, such as the excellent Piano Motifs.

The simplicity and ease of using this tool make it so so sooo valuable. Seamless integration and smooth flow. Mad respect to Bram Bos for this perfectly engineered product.

I love that Salome works on my iPad Pro and my Mac in Logic Pro as an AU!

Please add recording ability from the internal microphone

Love it so far! would have also liked if you could sample in stand alone. Did I miss something? Hats off for always dropping some heat!

Bram, love the sampler Salome. One issue I noticed is that when you latch a note, then shift octaves, you cannot latch the same note an octave lower or higher. This seems like a bug or an oversight. Otherwise, very cool for a “utility ”.

I’ve been wanting this for ages ! Even built my own inside of Drambo but honestly I’m sure this will be 100 x more efficient on my CPU so it was an instant buy for me (knowing the quality of your craft there is no doubt it’ll be amazing). Thanks bud, Hopefully you can consider a Mozaic 2 sometime - with some much needed love such as custom layouts (or more layout options and colors especially) - a buildable interface paired up with the amazing mozaic scripting language would make for an amazing Swiss knife tool - I use mozaic everywhere. Thanks for all the wonderful apps friend.
