Samplebot

What idiot programmes an application where the wave editor takes only some of the screen instead utilising entire screen so that we can edit the track better. Imagine the genius who decided to do that. It’s obviously someone who never edited anything hence doesn’t realise the importance of space with these things. You can only place samples that start from beginning. U cannot play sample (once u place it) from specific parts, it always plays from beginning which is very limiting. So all you can do is to cut the end or completely design a new sample that will have that desired part playing. Tedious. Not easy to create loops as they are never cut properly because wave is described as bars which makes it visually inaccurate. When u are trying to make a loop in editor it only plays once. Terrible. It should play in a loop so that u can cut the sample properly and hear the result whilst u are doing it. But no, the genius thought it should only play once in the wave editor. So you have to press play again and again hoping that once u have the final cut, it will sound like a perfect loop which is very unlikely. Works terrible when you are trying to take loops from songs. Zoom in and zoom out gesture in wave editor is inconvenient. It gives u the whole track so you have to always zoom out a lot to get to a normal 16 beats kinda length that everyone always normally plays around with. There is not really much you can do in their wave editor. Volume, pitch, speed (useless function) and balance. That’s it. There is no even a fade out, or fade in, echo or anything like that. Very dull and basic. There was so much potential and they just delivered a lazy sampler for amateur kids who like to show their momma how they recorded voices or some sound and can play them over and over again. Get real...

Yes big improvements in the ability to import audio into the app and quickly and easily edit, trim and setup the samples. Really great!

Simple to use but powerful! Help menu is found via the new project screen if you haven’t figured it out. Explains how to import samples for those complaining it doesn’t.

Apps says sample import available and allows transfer from itunes but there is no way visible to then import them in the app. Very frustrating and still there is no manual available to clarify the situation! Why release an app without a manual or missing a key feature described?

The app is cool, spent ages on it then tried to save my recording and it doesn't save anywhere, I've tried messaging it to myself, uploading it to Dropbox.. I wanted to put the sounds over videos for Instagram..waste of $5 :(

We need the ability to chop samples and also stem separation time shift and pitch bend

Samplebot no longer runs on my iPad Pro. It shuts down as soon as it tries to initialize. I have lost a whole slew of one of a kind samples and a song I can never get back. My advice (if your copy is working), is to get your project out of Samplebot as soon as you can, or you might lose everything. Not only have I lost all my work, but the program no longer works. Yes I’m running the latest ios, blah, blah, blah. Seriously bummed! I changed the rating on this app because I actually really like the app, it’s just that I lost all my work. I had a similar experience with another app recently, so it makes me think it has more to do with updates on the iPad and glitches rather than the app itself.

I really like the simplicity and functionality of this awesome app.

This is one of those “does what is say on the tin” apps where straight of the box works with no fuss. Suggestion: Sample Edit Double sample (Double tapping sample with 2 fingers) This would make a copy of itself and double the size of the sample for longer play time live. Doing it again would also double etc..

Really a fun creative app for me and my son! Love it! I feel like this is a cool gateway for kids into music.
