    Sampletoy Sampler For iPhone
    Author View comments Tags Tags: , ,

    Sampletoy iPhone

    Sampletoy is a radical new musical instrument/plaything; part sampler, part granular synthesiser. Use it to capture sounds through the microphone, then play, loop, pitch and distort them live on the screen.

    There are plenty of features under the hood, such as resonant filters, delays and envelope. You can enable “stepped” mode to play your sounds like a traditional keyboard, or keep it in “free” mode for some microtonal madness.

    Once you’ve recorded a sound, use the main area of the screen to play it back at different pitches (up to 5 fingers at a time). You can crop the sound by dragging a selection over the waveform. The crop area is also multitouch and you can adjust the crop while playing the sound too.

    The y-axis is pitch of the sound, and the x-axis is configurable to control filters or envelope.

    You can record your performances on Sampletoy and send them via email within the app as a CD-quality wav file (mono or stereo)

    FEATURES
    ——-
    * Create your own instruments out of any sound.
    * Email your performances as audio files straight from the app.
    * Built-in resonant filters, delay and envelope.
    * Auto-saves current recording and state and recalls it again on next launch.
    * Stepped mode allows chromatic, major, minor, pentatonic and whole-tone scales to be played.
    * Totally multitouch – play up to 5 notes at once.
    * 44kHz/16bit – professional quality sound.
    * AudioBus3 output
    * Import any audio file to Sampletoy from Files, Voice memos, DropBox etc
    * Open non-audio files and hear what they sound like
    * Bluetooth / Airplay support
    * Built-in comprehensive manual.
