Description

Sampletoy 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)

Nifty but doesn’t seem to sample

Rec 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.

This app totally rocks

After 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...
