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

Great sampler, especially once you get to know it better, some of the features may not be that intuitive but it has some great features and the new Auto sampler is something I’ve always wanted in an IOS, i love being able to sample patches automatically from non AUV3 apps. The 2 features that I would love to see are time stretching so if I auto sample something with effect or modulation the sample doesn’t spreed up as I play higher note, and a feature that auto chops samples across all the keys automatically. I have ReSlice that doesn’t that but would love to have that feature in AudioLayer because of the much deeper ways you can affect layers and key groups independently. Besides that I think this is the best IPad sampler.

This thing never works

I have put this app on 3 different iPads and on 2 iPhone’s and the same thing keeps happening. If it doesn’t crash the presets won’t change. The keyboard in Auv3 mode is none responsive. I never got any use out of this app I paid for. Please fix it for real or just give back my money.

My favorite app for iOS music so far

This is pretty much the only thing missing from my arsenal, now I can put away the laptop for good. Not only that, it is better than the alternatives on the laptop. I have been sampling since the ensoniq ASR-10 and this is everything I’ve always wanted in a sampler. Super super happy with the features and the GUI and the workflow. THANK YOU VirSyn!!! Couple notes, I crashes periodically in AUM for me and needs to be reloaded. Turns red with an error message. Second, one feature I’d request is an undo function. Seems like a no-brainer to include. We all make mistakes from time to time.

Won’t import sfz

Bought this specifically to lay sfz files - sfz file import doesn’t work. Followed the VirSyn instruction video exactly even used the same file they use in the video. The only thing that happens is the sfz “opens” in the Files app and shows the file info.

stunningly poor user interface

The amazingly badly designed user interface makes this potentially powerful app all but useless. You either have to import everything all at once via the poorly documented batch operation, or delete it all, edit outside the app, and try again. Made a small error? Delete it all and start again because the user interface makes selecting and changing small elements too difficult? Selected the wrong thing and you want to deselect so that you can see what’s going on? Forget it: tap in an empty space and you get the load dialog. Tap out of that, and your unwanted selection is still there. Pinch zoom into make it easier to select? Forget it: pinch zoom is so limited, you can never make tiny elements large enough to manipulate. So just edit their data fields by hand? Forget it: you can view the data for each zone, but you can change things via the graphical interface. Sometimes the tiny graphical control items don’t even appear on the screen. Simply scroll to one side to make them visible? Forget it: they’re so far to the side that the iPad always snaps the screen back to push the elements out of sight again. So reach blindly and hope you grab the right thing and placed it in the right spot? There you go! But oops you made a small placement error, so manually delete everything, do another batch import, and do it all over again. Classic case of logical, theoretically correct, yet utterly incompetent user interface design. Thinking of buying this tedious time waster? Forget it!

Hey developers I really love AUDIOLAYER I WAS WONDERING IF YOU GUYS Plan to make a version 2 in the future?

Plugin used to crash a bit a long time ago...

This has always been a decent app, and nowadays it might even be very good. I’ll definitely update this review as I explore the updates that have passed since I stopped using it because of an issue I used to have sampling as AUV3 fx. It would crash after sampling/configuring more than 5-6 samples/layers. I do feel like this has been addressed but since I’m only going about this from what I remember from reading the update notes of the updates I missed (which I read as such updates came out but never actually explored since I’ve been kind of busy ever since). If this has been fixed I will come back for a 5 star update, as otherwise this app was pretty good even with the issues it had.
