What Samplr is

Samplr is a paid iOS multitouch sampler for audio experimentation, music composition, and live performance. It offers eight play modes: Slicer, Looper, Granular, Tape, Scratch, Arpeggiator, Keyboard, and Loop Player. A gesture recorder captures gestures for compositions and sequencing. The app records audio input and supports resampling, with six sample slots and up to 16 voices per sample. Each sample can use Distortion, Filter, Amplitude Modulator, Feedback Delay, and Reverb. Samplr works with Ableton Link, MIDI keyboards and controllers, Inter-App Audio, and Audiobus input and output. It imports WAV and AIFF files from iCloud Drive, Dropbox, and AudioShare. The app is standalone and standalone-only for plugin support, with a maximum polyphony of 16 voices and a granular engine. The listed Samplr plan is a one-time 19.99 USD purchase for iPad. There is no free plan; Marcos Alonso is listed as developer.
