Sample Crate

wish will be implemented ableton link support!

The is no contact info on the dev site, so I had to post my concerns here. I like the app and enjoy the advantages it provides, however, I do have two issues. I am struggling with the batch renaming function, which is one of the main reasons I purchased it. After selecting files, I hit “rename” and receive an error message which basically says that the app needs write permission access to the parent folder I hit “grant access” and I’m taken back to the inside of the folder where the list of samples reappears, but they are now deselected. I hit “open,” type the desired file name and long press “rename.” Nothing happens. I went to settings to confirm that all the permissions available for the app were granted. Same result. It just does not work for me. Any thoughts? Also, the app replaces the icons for all of my my files that it interacts with. Yes, there is an option to disable this behavior, but it doesn’t return the file icons to their normal state. I deleted the app which did work, but when I reinstall it, all the files that I had previously auditioned return back to the black/orange sample crate icons. I even tried restarting the device. The replacement of icons should be disabled by default and offered as an option, in my opinion . How can I fix my icons? As I mentioned, I enjoy the app, but would like to see some revisions or at least a workaround for the above issues, especially the batch renaming. Thanks

If you have your own sample packs, this will make it so much easier. “Files” works but if you want to preview a file it goes to a new window and then have to go back to the previous page to drag it. If you don’t remember what it was it’s a pain in the butt. This does it without that issue. Worth it

Finally an easy way to preview audio with one click. I use it to add samples to Logic Pro (iPad) and it’s so seamless it seems like a native feature. Seriously, this is a life saver and time saver.

If you do any audio work on the iOS platform, this is an app you need. I put it right up there with AudioShare and Audiobus (along with a plethora of of apps I always suggest to people who are branching out to make music on their iOS devices) but this is a needed app. It is just as important to me as Apple implementing the file system. The ability to access my files in a cohesive way and also organize them is fantastic. It seems like such a basic concept, but Apple is always late to the game when it comes to audio on iOS. It always takes a brilliant and small developer to come up with simple solutions that we all take for granted. As someone who has been making music on their iOS devices since 2011 I can tell you how nice it is to not have to jump through hoops like we had to just evil six or seven years ago. I also beta test many apps and have been beta testing for over 10 years so I see a lot of crappy audio apps that just want money and it is so nice and refreshing with a small developer comes around and makes a game changing app that is not price gouging us. This app is so affordable. I feel like I’m cheating the developer. It’s always updated and does far more than we all think it does. Midi preview, video to audio, and other little gems are a great thing to have especially when you have hundreds or even thousands of samples to deal with. I don’t know how anyone could give this app under five stars just because they can’t change the icon color. It is a real shame that we ask so much of certain apps without understanding just how hard and time-consuming they are to make. Thank goodness this developer has made such a crucial and needed app that in my humble opinion, will go on as one of the apps that has helped iOS audio into main stream production. I am in no way affiliated with this app. I’m just a huge fan and a a satisfied customer. To the developer. Thank you for making this app. You have saved me hours of endless headaches.

Thank you so much for adding this function. As iOS midi generators continue to improve, it’s so good to be able to preview ever growing MIDI file collections without having to generate matching audio files to reference. Hoping you can add MIDI crates to the app as well.

This app fills an absolutely invaluable niche by allowing me to test out samples and organize them for my SP-404 for example. So far my only gripe is then when testing out the samples in the “sample crate” there is too much latency when tapping the pads to be able be very musical with it. Granted, I wouldn’t use it to perform music and only to test the sounds out so it’s not the end of the world but it is something that could improve the app.

Amazing app but unfortunatly theres a bug and when loading my samples it crashes and my saved sample sets no longer have any samples within them. Ay be the way it’s designed but is actually more of a bug. Love you guys

Cool app, but is there a way for it to not change all my audio icons in other apps to orange and black?????? I actually deleted it because I really don’t want all my audio icons changed to orange and black, thanks.

I wasn’t sure whether I needed samplecrate given a few overlapping features with AudioShare. Samplecrate does a number of things currently not possible in AudioShare—it can do bulk file renaming, and it can do bulk drag and drop export to apps like Koala. These are huge workflow improvements. The dev is very active on the Audiobus forum so the app is well supported. Crazy value for $2.99 USD
