Sitala

This is a nice app that I see myself using. However, the only way to hear the sounds before you add them is touching the tiny icon next to it, and it is VERY small so I keep adding samples accidentally. Also the icon touching area does not go over to the edges of the rectangle it is in, so you have to REALLY target it. Otherwise if you touch any small space around it, that means you’ve once again mistakenly added it. So frustrating man… Dear developer, one of the most frequently done actions in these type of apps is testing the sounds quickly and deciding on one. This should be much easier and much “safer” to do. Once that decision is made, adding the sample is easy, and does not really deserve the entire space where the text is. Please make the interface more intuitive. Make the icons larger or wider.

The image above shows a dark mode. I’ve been to Settings - Sitala, nothing there. I’ve checked the elipses in the upper left in the program, and the only settings available is for MIDI. How do you get the dark mode? The reason I rated 4 out of 5 is because you show a mode that doesn’t seem to exist?

This app would have gotten 5 stars if it had a way to delete browser location.

This needs to have its own sequencer and patterned based sampler. The next koala sampler.

I dig it! Idk why it says 3 stars when I hit 5 fo sho!!! Because it is a killer sampler/drum machine!!!

Original review: I downloaded Sitala on iPhone to use as an AUv3 Audio Unit Extension for GarageBand but it doesn’t show up as an audio unit extension! Is this just an error on my end?? Help! New: It works now. Thank you so much devs for getting back to me with support. I love using this sampler with GarageBand! For anyone wondering, you can edit and quantize midi in GarageBand with this app as each drum pad sample is assigned to a key on the piano

I dig it!

I done created a nice workflow with Sitala I cant wait for more features and ways to modify the sample. I love the unique shaper knob and would also love an adsr knob to really set things off. Keep going💪🏾

I purchased this app cause it’s supposed to be able to detect and slice by transients. This was the first thing I attempted to do after downloading the app, and it didn’t work. I loaded a short sample, a drum roll with three distinct transients, but the options to detect transients and slice to pads were greyed out. This was my main reason for purchasing this app and It doesn’t seem to work. It seems there are some limitations with the slicing features of this app. Had I known this I wouldn’t have spent the money. The app should be able to detect transients from any sample, regardless of size. I’m sure it does other things well, but this was my reason for buying. Hopefully I’m missing something here and can get a response from developer.

thoughtfully designed, plays nice with GarageBand. GarageBand’s kits are not tunable so this his helps in that regard. However it only comes with a stock 808 kit so you have to hunt down your own samples.
