Thank you, brother. I just got this app yesterday and got frustrated immediately! But, I knew exactly where to go…the soundest room. Your work fills an important need and doesn't waste any time. Excellent work.
It’s crazy what they can pack into an iOS app. In the early 90s I had dedicated Atari that would load and playback a few samples. No editing or efx. Quite simple. I can’t remember how many hundred of $$ I put into that, not including the sample libraries, which by comparison today, were quite expensive. Will probably pick this up. Great video. Excellent teacher. Many thanks.
When recording loops into Samplr from other apps using audiobus, be sure to also enable "Quantize to bars" for easier, cleaner trimming of the recorded sample. Then you can get exact loop lengths (1 bar, 2 bar, 4 bar, etc.), especially if Samplr is synced to the tempo of the other app. Neat!
This is one heck of an app, LOVE it! :D It's apps like _SamplR_ / _Gestrument_ / _Geoshred Control_ etc that are truly making the ipad platform a genuine new musical instrument of its own! The future is looking pretty tasty, and I'm glad I'm on the (audio) bus!
Really great video thanks ! I’ve been looking for this type of program for weeks now since I bought my Hercules P32 DJ. I need to modify my own samples and this looks like it will enable me to do so - at long last ! ! ! Thanks again for explaining it so clearly. Best Regards Eddie.
thesoundtestroom is it true that sample start time and end time or chopping in general can not be performed inside SAMPLR? Also, is there a way to adjust the metronomes output volume that you know of?
Fantastic tutorial! Thank you! :-) I just discovered your videos today, and you have a new fan. :-) I also grabbed a copy of Samplr, and I'm looking forward to exploring it, and I'm sure I'll be referring back to this video for a while as I learn it. Great work! :-)
Just in case heres a request list due to my frustration :) : stereo view, sample edit, more slots, playable by midi, more effects, recording layers can be muted individually. To say something not to change, im very happy with the amount of ways to play the samples :)
I bought an Ipad this morning at best buy .. this years model 2017 wifi 32gig.. and tomorrow will be buying elastic drum and samplr... between those 2 I think I can get super lost in creation and fun.
Thanks for another great video. I've had this app for ages, but could never understand what it was attempting to do. It looks very interesting, and I will definitely be doing something with it! So, I'm guessing that to correctly synchronise your own samples (as you demonstrated from the input) you'd be better creating and editing the samples elsewhere, then import them. I didn't see how to get a good solid synch to begin with, or how to edit within Samplr to trim into the space.
I agree, that's what Samplr needs next, the ability to trim samples or edit them within the app so if you do mess up your timing you can always just trim the sample and then quantize it.
clasehit I don't have BM2 but I do have Audioshare, so I suppose I could do the same thing in that (it allows you to trim recordings) and then export them to Samplr. I'll have a go and see what happens.
P0LYG0NW1ND0W initially, I thought editing sample length could be performed inside SAMPLR, but this does not seem to be possible. I too have begun to record my initial sample inside Audioshare, then edit start and end time, save copy to Dropbox, then import to SAMPLR. Last night I used the Record Mix feature, while "stopping" and "starting" some of the Samples at different times creating more of an arrangement versus a loop. After doing I used the mix down as the main track and then recorded additional tracks. The resampling feature is dope.
Inspirational video... Thank you so much for sharing. Can I ask - without using an internal ipad mic, how can i get an audio clip say from youtube into the samplr programme... As far as I'm aware, I cannot just play the youtube audio into samplr via mini jack cable. Ta
Hi. Is file transfer the only way to get the samples in or can they be recorded into the iPad and samplr app and then manipulated as covered in your video. Thank you for your great info.
Thank you for the training video Doug, it has helped me get a grasp on this app. In your opinion is this different from Strom? What are the differences?
Hello! U'know if work with INTERAPP (to sample o recording into other apps)?... Other question, can I use my keyboard to sample and/or play my piece or just the hands?? Really thanks! Bacco.
Good overview! I have samplr for a while and i use it in a midi setup. There are several changes i'd like to see, you got an idea when they finally will release an update? i really hate the delay effect to get messed up when in midi slave cause of constant tempo alterations etc.
Hey @thesoundtestroom +thesoundtestroom Is Samplr able to be played on any iPad? I saw a cheapo ipad in town for £80 and wanna play with this program and my teenage engineering PO-12 and Korg Kaosliator? I am from Liverpool too. I can't find specs on the website and notice your pad is an older version... Thanks in advance
GuerrillaDivision yeah, I think that was an iPad 4, possible a 2 but probably a 4, I can't remember, but Samplr has been around for ages so anything other than a one and I reckon your good to go, anyway for £80 if it's a 2 it's still worth it, and if for some reason it's still running iOS 7 it's golden..don't update it, I'm pretty sure the iPad in this demo is definitely a 4
Just curious. How did you get Dropbox to install? I have installed it but every time I try to import from DB it takes me to the App Store. I can't seem to get Samplr to import from DB. Thanks for the video. VERY informative.
The only thing is on this, the video is now 3 years old, so with the new apps and updated ones, HOW would I use something like audioshare to FIRST get samples into it, THEN load them into elastic drums, ect.... Any help is great. Thanks
Hi, although this video is three years old it still works exactly the same way, and you get samples in AudioShare in many different ways, I mainly use DropBox, or when I finish a project I Export it to AudioShare, the questions you are asking are really difficult to explain in a note that’s why we have all the videos, it also makes a lot more sense if you actually have the AudioShare app already, I couldn’t work without it now
Hi, I have seen on a review of the Korg Little bits that the person connected that output into the iPad/samplr. I´m wondering if you know how? I saw there was a lightning dongle with a 3.5mm jack. I asked that person but I never seem to get any answer from him... so I m trying with you, cus I can't get any good leads from internet on how to get live input to sample. great vid!
Hi, the lightning connector you mention with the 3.5mm jack is only for headphones or audio output, it’s basically designed for iDevices without a dedicated headphone output. There are several ways to record audio into Samplr, you can record directly from the iPad Microphone, but you can plug your Little Bits output directly into the iPad too, to do this you are going to need some sort of USB Audio Interface, if you just wanted a mono input you could use something like a iRig HD or iRig Pro, these are mainly designed for guitars. For stereo you can get something like a Focusrite 2i2 Scarlett, or a Behringer Xenyx 802USB Mixer. I use the Behringer, I made a video Tutorial a few months ago showing how to record Audio into the iPad using that. Just search this on TH-cam thesoundtestroom Behringer Xenyx 802 USB Connect To iPad Of course once you have set this up you can record any audio into any iPad DAW like Cubasis, Auria, GarageBand etc etc. I hope this helps a bit 😎
Yes indeed, I was mistaken by the dongle actually, it was a lightning USB connector and also in my case the little bits need an extra bit for the usb I/O. But it is good to know cus I want to record things faster into the samlpr with this kind of extra thingies. For me the simplicity of turning on a microphone and speak directly into samplr is of great importance.
At last! Something that resembles music with an actual chord progression! Brilliant! Have you ever managed to do any prog using these apps doug? What app would you recommend for a fellow prog fan who wants to do multiple sets of chord progressions?
Can anyone help me please? I'm trying to drop my own samples into this app via dropbox, but it's having none of it. I'm presuming it works with wav files? or am I wrong and that is the problem? praps aif or ogg etc. I've only just got this Ipad and I've never used an apple machine before so it's all a bit alien at the moment.

THANK YOU !!!!! I have scoured TH-cam looking for that information...awesome !!!
Cheers Pat :)
You are a shining light in a tech jungle. Thanx so much for your clarity and insight.

It's apps like _SamplR_ / _Gestrument_ / _Geoshred Control_ etc that are truly making the ipad platform a genuine new musical instrument of its own!

best audio app in the world since the start...
It’s back, just renewed a couple of days ago!
A long overdue run through. The kids will be happy in their beds tonight! Nice work Doug...
Really appreciated this. Thank you.
Thanks for the vid, have had samplr for a while now and never really gone in depth with it, this has inspired me to do that
No idea when there will be an update, does need some sort of simple editor, and a few other things
thesoundtestroom is it true that sample start time and end time or chopping in general can not be performed inside SAMPLR? Also, is there a way to adjust the metronomes output volume that you know of?

Going back in time to refresh the process of Samplr. You’re a wealth of information, good sir
A comprehensive overview of one of my favourite apps, good stuff!
Just in case heres a request list due to my frustration :) : stereo view, sample edit, more slots, playable by midi, more effects, recording layers can be muted individually. To say something not to change, im very happy with the amount of ways to play the samples :)
Ok, I lost my mind when you played the arp function.. amazing
truly epic! Still haven't got this, but I think I will soon after watching this. Thanks!
A most excellent, excellent video. Thank You!
4:10
* passes joint *
"The higher you are, the higher it will be."
*woah*
This was great! I learned sooooo much! thank you! im going to buy this with audiobus for my ipad.
Awesome app & thanks for the video
Excellent tutorial! Thank you!
Now I know the app worth it, thank you!
Wow. This is quite a toolbox. Hope the dev appreciates your review - you just sold another copy!
Cheers thanks for the tutorial I'm so 2000 in late but this is a really great app easy to adjust to...
I bought an Ipad this morning at best buy .. this years model 2017 wifi 32gig.. and tomorrow will be buying elastic drum and samplr... between those 2 I think I can get super lost in creation and fun.
Awesome video.. the only thing I wish you would've covered was sample editing and trimming if at all possible on the app
Juan Pablo Romano im trying to figure this out as well... I'm not sure the app supports editing.
Top notch sir. Namaste
Great stuff, can you activate samples from an external keyboard assigning channels etc?
Not that I know of
Thanks for another great video. I've had this app for ages, but could never understand what it was attempting to do. It looks very interesting, and I will definitely be doing something with it!

I agree, that's what Samplr needs next, the ability to trim samples or edit them within the app so if you do mess up your timing you can always just trim the sample and then quantize it.
Yeah I would definitely start with the right tempo of an imported sample, it makes life much easier
P0LYG0NW1ND0W a possible solution for this would be to open the samples in BeatMaker 2, trim/edit/quantize them, then send them to Samplr? cheers

Great video. Where did you get that choir sample?
hello, most .wavs i import from dropbox make the app crash. Any idea why is this?
Which iPad is recommended, especially in terms of processor power, to smoothly run this App? Meant for Live use.
Brilliant! Thank you!
Amazing iPad app - worth getting an iPad for IMHO!
How good is the cross-app compatibility with this app?

have you sorted out a way to send audio from say ableton make to samplr?
Wavs works sometimes. Had aiff working great for a while but they crash now too..
At last! Something that resembles music with an actual chord progression! Brilliant! Have you ever managed to do any prog using these apps doug? What app would you recommend for a fellow prog fan who wants to do multiple sets of chord progressions?
How do you get your samples to sync to the grid?
Having trouble loading wav files from dropbox. App crashes.. Any suggestion what to do?
yeah a total pain - if you have the option to log in with Google first, that was the fix for me
When I export to AudioShare it exports the original sample instead of what I recorded and manipulated. What am I doing wrong?
Did you figure it out? Because im struggling with the same at this moment.
Can anyone help me please? I'm trying to drop my own samples into this app via dropbox, but it's having none of it. I'm presuming it works with wav files? or am I wrong and that is the problem? praps aif or ogg etc. I've only just got this Ipad and I've never used an apple machine before so it's all a bit alien at the moment.
worth buying an ipad just for this app
Does anyone know how to export samples that I've editing in Samplr? I know there isn't a trim option and there probably won't ever be.
you didnt explaint fix to tempo button man
can you trim a sample that you record in the app? that really seems important for a looped based program.
no, not that I know of. but you can trim via audio share which is also an excellent program. I also miss the trim function in samplr...
you are the NICK on ipad apps :-) sonicstate :----)
Hi, can I import wave (which I already recorded with my recorder) into IPad samplr?
he needs a 1080p cam ... but i wont hate , the app is nice
30:28 that always hurts my brains
