The latest update with automatic sampling is just awesome, to be able to bring in some of my desktop VST’s for on the go is great

After this update its stable exporting is not crashing anymore but I still wish that the sf2 file should work everywhere so I can play it here and other places or should be exs24 export thanks Show more

Whoever created this app needs a million dollars ?, just Because he or she is freaking genius. So long I’ve been looking for a app like this ????????

It sounds great, the editing capabilities are deep, very easy to use but...but why can't we control parameters from midi? Like the filter, ADSR the effects and so on? Am I missing something ? No proper manual either so I can't find out for sure. Also midi program change is something I use a lot . All music apps should have these basic midi features so we can use them for reals onstage etc!!. Please VirSyn, make it so Show more

Update #1 - Ok, so AudioLayer needs: 1.) Better local file management. 2.) Move/Sort imported exs/sfz instruments into folders. I’d Like: 3.) SFZ Import I’d really Appreciate: 4.) Full SFZ Support (live text edit/reload) Either way, I use AudioLayer almost daily, and it fully deserves 4 Stars. I’m hopeful I get to update this again in the future to a 5. Show more

Audiolayer is a traditional Sampler. If you're looking for fancy beat-slicing, Sample Mangling and Granular, look elsewhere. However, for those of us who come from a traditional Sampler background (think old-school Roland Samplers), Audiolayer is very reminiscent of that workflow. It's as straight forward as it gets. Load in your samples, map them including velocity layers, add some effects from the very capable built in effects section and you've got yourself and old school Sampler on a modern digital platform. Hopefully we'll get some updates, because IMO this is a very underrated Sampler! Great work VirSyn!!!! Show more

Finally an actual iPad sampler whose functions are not buried beneath trendy bells and whistles. I had no problem air-dropping in samples from my laptop. So easy! I was able to quickly build a multisample instrument with over 20 samples, each with their own unique settings. So far I've worked mainly on the "zone" level but am looking forward to exploring the other editing levels. I am using it solely as a stand alone app so I can't address any plugin issues. I also don't quite understand the "scope" situation; specifically why the default is having it off for each zone. I hope the future manual will explain the whole "scope" thing more thoroughly. On the top of my wish list is deeper real time midi control over editing functions. Specifically I'd love to be able to control sample start and loop points via midi cc. That would be excellent! But over all, Virsyn continues to amaze. Show more

Crash confirmed on 2 ipads using ios 12

the transposition of samples is very basic, no keeping time so cant really use for chords unless you multisample. Seems to really choke as au in BeatMaker 3

I go into Audioshare and try to load a sample into Audiolayer but does Audiolayer even load that sample.Not at all and I get kicked out.It just goes back to the screen where all my other apps are.This app is not even worth the 14.99 I paid for.There are other samplers that do way better and cost less.

Bought because of new update touting exs format import. However, there’s zero documentation for how that is done.

Finally finally finally, a proper stand-alone sampler for iOS for building multisampled instruments! Now don’t get be wrong, there are some truly wonderful and amazing samplers for iOS, but just about all of them are oriented towards beat making or chopping or experimental sound design, not building full fledged multisampled instruments. One kinda-sorta exception is the built in sampler in BeatMaker 3. It’s a fabulous sampler and you can build great multisampled instruments with it, but it’s confined to BeatMaker—which is a full on DAW, not a standalone sampler. AudioLayer, on the other hand, can be used standalone or from within any iOS app you like as long as it supports AUv3 (including BeatMaker 3). AudioLayer also has some critical features that any respectable multisampler should include that BeatMaker 3 lacks: - Round robin - Automatic sample mapping based on file names - Automatic sample mapping based on detected pitch The automatic sample mapping features are HUuuuuuuUGE time savers. Building a large multisampled instrument without them is beyond tedious. OTHER GOOD THINGS: - iCloud integration just works Why can’t more apps do this? Create an instrument on one device and it’s saved to iCloud and available on all other devices. - Pitch/Filter/Level sections are great Super simple and straight forward. Organized so you can easily apply changes to a single sample (zone), a layer, or all samples in the instrument. If you’ve ever used an Ensoniq sampler (EPS, ASR-10) you should feel right at home. - Effects section, also great Sounds great and shockingly easy to use. - Interface on iPhone, also great Just as usable on an iPhone as on an iPad. Quite an accomplishment. SOME OVERSIGHTS: - No adjustable curve for crossfade loops Being able the adjust the curve for a cross fade is crucial for creating seamless loops. BeatMaker 3 and many other samplers allow this. - No threshold option when recording Yeah, you can truncate the sample by hand before you save it (which is great), but this another common sampler feature that’s missing. Again, BeatMaker 3 has this option. - No normalize gain Another basic feature that’s missing. WISH LIST: Would love to see some sort of option for automatic slicing and mapping of single recording. Here’s how it would work: - Start recording - Play or sing a series of notes into the mic - Stop recording - Select a magical “auto slice and map” option - AudioLayer auto-detects and slices and maps each note Show more

ive been using sampling keyboards since the mid 80s (mirage, emax, etc) and love the fact i can now sample without doing math in hexadecimal. thanks, this is exactly what i wanted. a couple small improvements id suggest are: 1. better file management, such as the ability to edit sample names and move samples around into various folders 2. a bit reduction effect to simulate vintage 8bit, 10bit and 12bit samplers, 3. a recording sequencer modeled after the Mirage’s 333 note sequencer, and 4. and this may already be there but i havent checked- a simple 1 click button to split layers up into key ranges.

Update: It needs a ribbon controller option❣️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Only a couple of minor issues so far. Those I sent to support. 1) Context sensitive help for the Para EQ displays the Flanger help instead. 2) When I touch their icon in the upper left, the IAA transport bar displays through or on top of the info screen. At first I was disappointed that there is only (so far) context sensitive help but unlike almost all context sensitive help I’ve seen to date, it actually does explain things fairly well. A detailed user manual would still be welcomed as there is a lot here to ‘play’ with here! The UI is very easy to use. The ease of instrument creation using virtually any sample or simple mic recording is truly phenomenal❣️ More later after I’ve spent a few hours playing with AudioLayer. PS - App could use note hold/key latch feature. Also, keyboard octave sector needs to be place-able anywhere. Not only by increments of displayed keyboard width. Show more
