AudioLayer

It`s actually possible to create or import big multi sampled instruments. But if that instrument happens to be active/opened when you quit AudioLayer, then good luck next time you try to launch the app. 😭 It will crash 100% of the time. This is very strange however, since it’s not a problem to open a really large instrument ( like a 16 velocity, 3 x times round robin, 2100 files @ 1,72 GB drum kit, Which does sound excellent by the way!) as long as you open it *after* AudioLayer has launched. To get AudioLayer to work again you need to delete state files and sometimes instrument files 🤨 This means you can forget about state saving in AUM, since the state with that cool drum can’t be retrieved without AudioLayer crashing! I’ve mailed the developer a couple times about this the past year, but gotten no response. Maybe this review will wake him up. 😃👍🏻

I love this, I have sampled tonnes of instruments from my computers vst’s. The playability of this instrument and the sample tweakability is genuinely awesome! +the effects are great!

It has such an ambitious and promising feature set. But it’s crashing randomly for me, so there’s currently no way I could trust this for any serious work. Today it simply wouldn’t even start up. I have the iPhone XS. Please tend to all of the bugs and make it stable. If it worked, it’ll easily be a 5 star app. It’s pretty unique.

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!

Love it

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.

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

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

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.

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!
