"surprisingly powerful" - Wall Street Journal used by DJ/producer Zedd! // supports Audiobus, MIDI, iOS13 Sir Sampleton is a sampling musical keyboard inspired by Casio and Yamaha samplers from the 80s. The app allows you to record sounds through the microphone and then play them on dual piano keyboards accompanied by a rhythm machine. You'll be surprised at the lush, complex musical sounds that can be created with samples of your voice, musical instruments, and other noises. Samples can be looped, customized, saved, and emailed, and we offer free samples for download on our website. Supports Audiobus, Inter-app Audio, CoreMIDI, MIDI Mobilizer 1 and 2. Works as a virtual instrument for apps like Cubasis, Beatmaker 2, and Genome sequencer. Capable of sampling other apps and effects through Audiobus. Sampleton applies a subtle stereo effects process to the audio giving it a fuller, warmer sound that you'd typically get from sampling a monaural microphone. If you like my apps please leave ratings or reviews! For support email

Version History Fixed issue with importing samples in iOS 13 3.3.8 03/05/2020 Fixed crash when opening sample packs 3.3.7 08/26/2019 This update should fix the noise issue when sampling on newer iOS devices. Please update your app rating if this fixes the issue for you. The problem was caused by either a bug or undocumented limitation in Apple's CoreAudio sample rate converter, which I have now bypassed. If anyone still has any issues, please post or email which device and version of iOS that you're using. 3.3.6 02/28/2019 There is an issue affecting a small number of users where the samples come out as loud noise. I've never been able to reproduce this issue on any of my devices or on any of Apple's iOS simulators, but I'm releasing an update built with the latest tools to see if it improves the issue. I suggest making sure you have the latest version of iOS installed and reboot your device completely. Also make sure you have microphone permission enabled for Sir Sampleton in settings.
