Sampletoy for Positive User Reviews
✓ Well thought outVery well thought out little sample app. Not sure 'sampletoy' really does it justice. Simple to use (like a toy) but powerful enough for an adult (with a small brain) to make use of in a professional environment. Worth the cash . 2 megs of bliss ..Version: 1.0
✓ Awesome!Cant wait to use this on stage!.Version: 0
✓ WOW!This rocks!.Version: 0
✓ Incredibly useful for messing around with sound quickLiterally one of the reasons to make me buy an iPhone over 6 years ago.Version: 1.2.5
✓ Simple but super fun!Basic sampling, but great mangling, I would like to see some more editing like trim, normalise, audio copy/paste and perhaps a few more fx - maybe for a pro version, but at this price this app is great, lots of fun..Version: 0
✓ An absolute joyOh how I wish this were a VST, so I may use it's power of lulzy sound. Granted, I could just use a regular granulizer, but this has FILTERS. And TOUCHSCREEN MODULATION. If the company who made this reads this, please make this a VST. I'd buy it..Version: 1.0
✓ This thing rocks!Amazing. Instant sampling, polyphonic playback. If you have any interest in sampling this will blow your mind for the price of a cheap coffee..Version: 0
✓ Pretty usefulI loved koala so much I bought this other app by the same developer. For such a cheap price it's a pretty useful little thing and I'm sure it will fit in to my arsenal quite well. Simplistic but powerful in the right sample junky hands.Version: 1.2.5
✓ Superb!I love this app. Simple to understand, yet full of potential. Perhaps most importantly it's really fun! I showed it to some people at work and four of them bought it immediately. Nice work..Version: 0
✓ Download pleaseThis is awesome and well worth the money. It's alright!!!!!.Version: 0
✓ YaYSampletoy is back!!! best regards.Version: 1.2.2
✓ Top drawerAwesome, the best sample based app out there. Intuitive, fast, instantly fun, and well executed. Keep doing what you're doing..Version: 0
✓ Nifty but doesn’t seem to sampleRec button doesn’t seem to turn the mic on for me (it’s meant to yeah?? doesn’t record what’s playing from another app.). Mic seems to be fine in other apps. Happily however I can at least take the extra step of importing recordings from elsewhere, play around with them, record the manipulations then export them. Fun app with a creativity-friendly interface..Version: 1.2.5
✓ Looks goooood!Wants- level adjustment for input, backwards playback, sample edit(select and delete) maybe more FX options......not quite as cool as Filtatron by Korg, but still very useful. Awesome that you can email sound sample/performance w/ QuickTime. Sound quality is VG. Holding it down wit da K-Nutz krew Nyeeyonkah..Version: 1.0
✓ Love itThis application is wicked. to anyone who has ever enjoyed granular syntheses this app is awesome! well worth money.Version: 0
✓ Overlooked 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..Version: 1.2.5
✓ Superb - perfect for experimenting with audioI'm a music producer and love the capibilities of this excellent app. Luckily it has some basic but very useable effects which allow for some great textures. The only thing I that would make this app perfect for me is if it had some kind of very basic sequencer so I could loop up some melodies. 5 Stars!.Version: 0
✓ I love itSampleToy is good at what it dose and that is mangle sounds. I found it to be fun and easy to learn!!!.Version: 0
✓ Update??This is SO useful in my work with voice patients! I am a speech pathologist and this app provides visual feedback to them, like the “Visipitch” machine in a clinic. Waiting for an update! Please :).Version: 1.0
✓ Sampletoy 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!.Version: 1.2.5
✓ More than funAs a pro sound designer I expected this to be a sample TOY, a one minute wonder but checking out the cost I knew some programming had taken place. I was right. Although sample capture and reply is fairly straight forward it is the ease, speed and amazing quality of audio that impresses. The ability to quickly create a performance that you send to an email address is brill. Obviously, there are wishlists, like having filters more dynamic and controlled by movement on the trigger grid "X axis", and more control over the positioning of the replay area of the sample. But this is a fantastic creative tool for experimenting with found sounds on the fly. Great for discovering, by downward pitch changing, that my dog barking sounds like a pregnant dinosaur. This app will do well..Version: 0
✓ Radiophonic WorkshopOk, this is great! Really intuitive - and packed with fantastic ways to mess with sound. Go out and sample your world!.Version: 0
✓ Great appGreat app, well done..Version: 0
✓ Very useful synthBuying this to support Koala. Really useful for creating interesting sound just missing a couple of things. .1. Hold .2 Normalize.Version: 1.2.5
✓ Great little instrument…well worth the priceBought on a whim as already have a few iPhone sampler type apps, but this is now my fave. Easy to get results that are different to anything you'd get thru more conventional studio tools. Would like a file sync tool for the desktop but email works fine. Truly creative and fun to use. Teamed up with a slightly better mic (I've a $20 job that fits in audio output) than normal iPhone mic and the results are really useable. Works fine with internal mic too of course. 5 stars now and hoping dev adds more fx and mangling tools..Version: 0
✓ GreatSimple intuitive and great fun! You can get some awesome sounds out of it, looking forward to playing around on my ipad with it....Version: 0
✓ Well done.Excellent and engrossing app. I've been looking for this kind of instrument since i got the iPhone. Thanks..Version: 0
✓ Total Fun!This is the most fun I've had with a sound/music app yet and I have about everyone that's hit the App Store!.Version: 0
✓ Awesome and simple to useA novelty gadget that could also have some serious uses. Record in the field or import your samples easily. So good. Thanks for making it free. Would pay up to $5.99 for something like this. Will stay tuned for more apps from this dev..Version: 1.2.5
✓ Nice!Nice to see this app updated for the iPad. The developer is very responsive to queries etc!.Version: 1.0
✓ Worth 20 bucksI am using this to create atmospheres in a home studio. Trent Rezor/Twiggy Ramirez caliber sampling on your iPhone. Finds it's way into every song. Can't wait to see what features updates bring..Version: 0
✓ Good appCombine this with kaola and this would be dangerous..,,.Version: 1.2.5
✓ Amazingly Professional SoundsThere is no end to the wild and even beautiful sounds you can produce with this, by starting with your own voice or whatever else and altering it in many ways, and then playing it with a well laid out interface. Anything from retro science fiction to really meditative and ambient chops can be produced, saved and altered again. Looking forward to updates, but great as is. More advanced saving of compositions would be nice. Just download this. Blows away many of the iPhone synth apps..Version: 0
✓ Great app!In 2 years, this might be the first time I've felt the desire to write a review. This app is fantastic. It does everything it claims and the sound quality is top notch. Those giving it a bad review probably had no idea of what it did before downloading it..Version: 0
✓ Thermos79Sold me.. Thanks bro! This app is awesomely awesome, take thermos79's review and slap a ditto on it for me.. (although it's hard for me to pick a favorite app in this genre I love them all) I must say.. The delay.. The scales.. The multi-touch.. Perfect.. Definately a MUST buy for any audio geek..Version: 0
✓ Fun!Very simple. One of those apps you don’t have to think about when you’re using it — it’s built right and just makes sense. EDIT: I don’t know how I missed the de-clicker; it’s right there 😆..Version: 1.2.5
✓ A brilliant app!I will use this app with my home recorder to make Simmons Drum snare sounds... you can simply record yourself making a "Shhhh" noise with your mouth and by adjusting the sample with the easy-to-use controls, voila! Instant Simmons drums! Just what I needed! Suggestions for updates... Please make it so a sample can be edited by allowing a selection of the sample to be deleted, then combine the top and bottom sections to make one sample. Thanks for a great and useful app! P.S. The people who have reviewed this app as "useless" obviously aren't into recording and don't understand the applications a tool like this has. If you don't know what a sampler is and what it does, you may be dissapointed. But if you're curious about how they make a lot of the effects you hear in music since the 1980's, this app is a simple to use introduction to the world of sampling. If you're the creative type, this is a great app. If you aren't, you won't understand a need for this app..Version: 0
✓ 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!.Version: 1.2.5
✓ Small but creative toy!Fantastic app for sound mangling on the move! :) And it's great fun to use!.Version: 0
✓ Best sample toy for iPhoneIntuitive, bug free and fun...Version: 0
✓ Good app!Simple, inexpensive app but it does what it says in the description..Version: 1.2.5
✓ A very intuitive and responsive musical instrument!Oh, I can't believe there are some reviews calling this boring! Totally reflective of their own lack of creativity. Anyway, this thing is a fabulous compositional tool. Very intuitive and immediate. Not only can you record your own samples; you can also record your improvs/gestures and send them to yourself for further editing, processing, etc. in your main DAW. Use it on the iPad in 2x mode for more screen real estate! Can't wait for the iPad version and feature updates the developer is planning!.Version: 0
✓ Amazing!This is EXACTLY the thing I have been looking for. I would have paid at least $10 for this without hesitation. The only thing that would make it absolutely perfect is the option to play the sample backwards. Other than that, one of the best (if not THE best) audio apps in the app store. Low app raters have no experience in the audio field. This is more of a tool than a toy, but yet it's still fun as heck!.Version: 0
✓ AmazingTurns my unit into a creative spontaneous sampling device... Very successfully. Love it..Version: 0
✓ Mad GeniusSimple put, bought this app because of the confidence I have in elf-audio’s KOALA. Once again, was NOT disappointed! Look, apps on the iPad and iPhone can be characterized as SPG’s, Serious Professional Gadgets. Love what they do right out of the box by themselves. They get you there quickly and easily. That being said, they have tons to offer in the form of creativity. When you have people like Marek, they understand what the future of productivity looks like. I hope they continue to keep one eye on that future and the other on what’s needed today, and seems like he does. Looking forward to creating some interesting projects with this one, thank you..Version: 1.2.5
✓ Super!Fun sound mangling app, very nice quality audio too..Version: 0
✓ Very coolEasy, quick, and expansive. Very high quality. A no brainer at 2 bucks. Can't wait to see what updates may bring..Version: 0
✓ Sadly missing an updateThis is literally one of the most fun, powerful audio apps I've found. It's a pity there doesn't seem to be any support or updates going, or anything similar on the App Store that I can find..Version: 1.0
✓ I love it!I can't really add much to what has already been said. I love turning all the delay controls up full and creating atmospheres. For what you pay you're getting a whole heap of fun. Keep it up devs. Can't wait to see how the app grows..Version: 0
✓ Goooooooood!Great app..Version: 0
✓ UpdateI 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.Version: 1.2.5
✓ Excellent toy/toolI do a bit of music too and this ticks all the boxes for a simple and powerful tool that I can see using as a sound creation, manipulation device. Had 10 minutes of play and already saved two sounds for future reference - can't wait to take this on holiday with me and capture some other stuff!.Version: 0
✓ This app totally rocksAfter adding effects the samples produce extraordinary and great-sounding loops. I am a musician -- the potential for recording loops or incorporating this app+iPhone live on stage is huge! But even if you aren't a muso, this app will amuse you no-end. Try singing a few notes into it, make some sound mods, and then use up to four fingers simultaneously on the touch pad -- you will be amazed with what is possible....Version: 0
✓ AwesomeIf this the kind of thing you like (you know who you are), you’re going to LOVE this! Brilliantly simple but powerful..Version: 1.2.5
✓ (:This is an amazing app, it's so worth it!.Version: 0
✓ Very goodLike the other reviews say this is really good. Dont let the word 'toy' fool you. You can get some great stutter fx out of this. So far the only stutter effect I've come across on the iPhone! Desperately needs import/export!!! Sending sounds to my email is long and unnecessary. But better then nothing. A BPM feature would be great also. That way you can create effects that are in time with your track. Defiently worth buying though as I'm sure there will be updates..Version: 1.0
✓ O.M.G.I've got a few music apps and this one is the most fun and delivers instant sonic gratification, can't wait for any future updates .Version: 0
✓ Two SuggestionsI love the app. However, can we see an update that allows the uploading of samples from a desktop? Also, I'd like to lock a selection, so that I can move a segment along a sample without resizing it..Version: 0
✓ WowIncredible tool for when inspiration strikes!.Version: 0
✓ Hidden GemThis is like my OG iPhone app. It was literally the first thing I installed on my original iPhone 3GS way back in the day. I have loved and used it more than probably any app on any device I’ve ever owned. It’s easy to use and fun to play. My only ‘complaint’ I guess would be that the newer version does not seem to offer the hold function when you slide your finger to the edge of the screen. I really appreciated locking in on a particular loop and jamming along with synth, other hardware, or whatever. Maybe it was just an oversight, and the developers will notice they made a terrible error and replace the hold function. Otherwise this app is great! It has everything a music app should: it’s easy to use, versatile and inexpensive. Thank you!.Version: 1.2.5
✓ What a appI just got this and it's prompted me to write my first review, has great potential for some great on the fly sampling, could become a vital ingrediant..Version: 0
✓ OMG IT’S BACK!!! =)Loved this app years ago, until it was no longer supported. BUT IT’s BAAAACK!!! <3.Version: 1.2.4
✓ Great! Get it! It's creative, fast, inexpensive, fun...Great! Get it! It's creative, fast, inexpensive, fun....Version: 0
✓ Very very good!This little beast is actually very very very sneaky! It may look like a toy but it has a fantastic interface, very simple to use, three competent filters, basic envelope functions, and is pretty inspirational if you like glitchy looped textures etc.I've already started emailing sound files to myself to be used at later dates. Can't believe it's so cheap. Go on,....do the dingle, before they come to their senses and flog the gibbon!.Version: 1.0
✓ Tip top!The bees knees! The best quid summit I've ever spent!.Version: 0
✓ FunI'm a recording artist and this is great for making new sounds. I love it. this would be worth hundreds in a music program but its cheap. Its fun too..Version: 0
✓ Really greatIf bebot were a sampler and granular synthesizer, it would look something like this. This may turn out to be one of the more useable iphone instruments for me personally. 2 functional things: I can usually make a note stick in stepped mode if I move all the way from left to right. Also, personally I think the range function should work when you are in stepped mode as well, thus you could do away with bass mode altogether. Wish list: More mangling efx such as distortion (bit degrade?), etc. Possibly a more customizable scale choice a la bebot. Also, it would be great if you could select the direction of the sample being played by sliding your finger forward or backwards over the sample bar. Anyway, by far the most useful (to me) granular synth/sampler app I've tried..Version: 0
✓ A chilli eatin gin swillin apposonic mofoLove this app, especially the fact I found that the more fingers I put on the interface the more sounds come out! Love it, great app..Version: 1.0
