United StatesSampletoy 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.
Overall good app!
This is a nice app for playing with sounds and textures… just turn on your cellphone microphone, record a sound and start mangling and manipulating it. Have fun with it and experiment with the different options and parameters!
United StatesIncredibly useful for messing around with sound quick
Literally one of the reasons to make me buy an iPhone over 6 years ago
United StatesGood app
Combine this with kaola and this would be dangerous..,,
United StatesCapture with Ease
This is one of my all time favorite sampling apps for my cell. It is convenient, simple, and equally a toy as well as useful. I even have it installed on several older phones of mine and have used them all simultaneously during live performances. Bravo!
United StatesSampletoy is fun.
I’m a big Koala Sampler fan, and sampletoy is for me! One ui/ux suggestion- move the controls to the top of the screen. On iOS, 15.4, using an iPhone 13, it’s very hard to use the repeat slider, for example, without accidentally closing the app. I’m seeing this with a few apps lately. Tapping at the bottom of the screen is no problem, however, any slide gestures at the bottom of the screen are problematic. Cheers!
United StatesOverlooked gem.
This app is vastly overlooked in the sea of iOS samplers. Super fun, super immediate, and can get wild pretty quickly. I don’t think it needs any other features as that would take away from the simplistic beauty, but I do wish it had a hold button.

I love this app and I also adore the koala apps. This app is so cool but you could do so much more with it. I know it is more novelty but I would pay for an in app if you could do more with cut off, filter, lfo , HPF, or other effects can actually really tighten up instead of clicking on or clicking off with no in between. I’m not slagging the app at all but it would be great if you had an export that went directly into koala. Either way it is a great app and I use it quite a bit/I have been in iOS audio apps for over 10 years along with my software in my hardware in my studio. I just think you make some stellar apps and I hope that people actually take the time to review just how good your apps are
