Sampletoy

Elastic Sampler/Plaything

Published by: Mazbox

Description

Sampletoy is a radical new musical instrument/plaything; part sampler, part granular synthesiser. Use it to capture sounds through the microphone, then play, loop, pitch and distort them live on the screen.
There are plenty of features under the hood, such as resonant filters, delays and envelope. You can enable "stepped" mode to play your sounds like a traditional keyboard, or keep it in "free" mode for some microtonal madness.
Once you've recorded a sound, use the main area of the screen to play it back at different pitches (up to 5 fingers at a time). You can crop the sound by dragging a selection over the waveform. The crop area is also multitouch and you can adjust the crop while playing the sound too.
The y-axis is pitch of the sound, and the x-axis is configurable to control filters or envelope.
You can record your performances on Sampletoy and send them via email within the app as a CD-quality wav file (mono or stereo)

Overall good app!

This is a nice app for playing with sounds and textures… just turn on your cellphone microphone, record a sound and start mangling and manipulating it. Have fun with it and experiment with the different options and parameters!

Incredibly useful for messing around with sound quick

Literally one of the reasons to make me buy an iPhone over 6 years ago

Good app

Combine this with kaola and this would be dangerous..,,

Sampletoy is fun.

I’m a big Koala Sampler fan, and sampletoy is for me! One ui/ux suggestion- move the controls to the top of the screen. On iOS, 15.4, using an iPhone 13, it’s very hard to use the repeat slider, for example, without accidentally closing the app. I’m seeing this with a few apps lately. Tapping at the bottom of the screen is no problem, however, any slide gestures at the bottom of the screen are problematic. Cheers!

Overlooked gem.

This app is vastly overlooked in the sea of iOS samplers. Super fun, super immediate, and can get wild pretty quickly. I don’t think it needs any other features as that would take away from the simplistic beauty, but I do wish it had a hold button.

I love this app and I also adore the koala apps. This app is so cool but you could do so much more with it. I know it is more novelty but I would pay for an in app if you could do more with cut off, filter, lfo , HPF, or other effects can actually really tighten up instead of clicking on or clicking off with no in between. I’m not slagging the app at all but it would be great if you had an export that went directly into koala. Either way it is a great app and I use it quite a bit/I have been in iOS audio apps for over 10 years along with my software in my hardware in my studio. I just think you make some stellar apps and I hope that people actually take the time to review just how good your apps are

Fun!

Very simple. One of those apps you don’t have to think about when you’re using it — it’s built right and just makes sense. EDIT: I don’t know how I missed the de-clicker; it’s right there 😆.

Awesome and simple to use

A novelty gadget that could also have some serious uses. Record in the field or import your samples easily. So good. Thanks for making it free. Would pay up to $5.99 for something like this. Will stay tuned for more apps from this dev.

Mad Genius

Manelee Arnbee on

Simple put, bought this app because of the confidence I have in elf-audio’s KOALA. Once again, was NOT disappointed! Look, apps on the iPad and iPhone can be characterized as SPG’s, Serious Professional Gadgets. Love what they do right out of the box by themselves. They get you there quickly and easily. That being said, they have tons to offer in the form of creativity. When you have people like Marek, they understand what the future of productivity looks like. I hope they continue to keep one eye on that future and the other on what’s needed today, and seems like he does. Looking forward to creating some interesting projects with this one, thank you.

This is like my OG iPhone app. It was literally the first thing I installed on my original iPhone 3GS way back in the day. I have loved and used it more than probably any app on any device I’ve ever owned. It’s easy to use and fun to play. My only ‘complaint’ I guess would be that the newer version does not seem to offer the hold function when you slide your finger to the edge of the screen. I really appreciated locking in on a particular loop and jamming along with synth, other hardware, or whatever. Maybe it was just an oversight, and the developers will notice they made a terrible error and replace the hold function. Otherwise this app is great! It has everything a music app should: it’s easy to use, versatile and inexpensive. Thank you!
