Description

"surprisingly powerful" - Wall Street Journal
used by DJ/producer Zedd! // supports Audiobus, MIDI, iOS13
Sir Sampleton is a sampling musical keyboard inspired by Casio and Yamaha samplers from the 80s. The app allows you to record sounds through the microphone and then play them on dual piano keyboards accompanied by a rhythm machine. You'll be surprised at the lush, complex musical sounds that can be created with samples of your voice, musical instruments, and other noises. Samples can be looped, customized, saved, and emailed, and we offer free samples for download on our website.
Supports Audiobus, Inter-app Audio, CoreMIDI, MIDI Mobilizer 1 and 2. Works as a virtual instrument for apps like Cubasis, Beatmaker 2, and Genome sequencer. Capable of sampling other apps and effects through Audiobus.
Sampleton applies a subtle stereo effects process to the audio giving it a fuller, warmer sound that you'd typically get from sampling a monaural microphone.

Screen lock issue

SuperDuper01 on

United States

I want to love this app, but for some reason most of the time when I open the app the screen is rotated incorrectly, and the graphics are squished and lining up to where the buttons are mapped on the screen. When it works it’s awesome, but most of the time it is not working for me despite the settings on my iPad. It requires a full restart of the iPad every time for the screen to reset. I’m on an iPad Air, 5th gen

A once upon a time great app

Don’t even bother downloading it. It’s completely worthless and unusable with ios 16 and as you can see, there hasn’t been an update in 3 years.

Key problem

LiaMech on

United States

The app is kinda glitchy I press a key but it plays a different key and so of the keys don’t work

Display is messed up..

whyshouldi? on

United States

Good app until (current?) iOS update. Starts off in landscape, then goes to a truncated portrait display with touches not working well. Support sends me to (old?) website with no way to contact. iPhone 12 iOS 16.4.1

No longer functional

This app isn’t compatible with current iPhone IOS :(

I have loved this app for years!

But, unfortunately, I think Sir Sampleton has given up the fight. As of iOS 16 it longer functions normally :( Should prob be updated in App Store w/ Caveats or removed entirely. Thanks for the good years!

Totally awesome

Won’t play through speakers

Docedward on

United States

Occasionally plays through speakers on the bottom of iPhone but usually comes through small speaker on screen. Can’t hear it much.seems random when it switches.

The Bomb

Thank you, Paul. You just changed my sampling life from complicated and rocky to a Cadillac ride. This piece of software is straight ahead and easy to use. As a pro, I can heartily recommend it.

Can’t import soundbank

DaAdsSuck on

United States

This is a cool little sampler. Reminds me of the old Casios. Only problem is I can’t get the soundbanks to import that I downloaded from the dev’s website.
