Flip Sampler

I've had this app for years. Opened it up today and got right to playing. It's crashed 3 times in 40 minutes. Also, on my iPhone 14 I now have the "dynamic island" feature blocking 1/4 of the menu items. Can see that one can disable that iOS feature so I'm hoping the developers can figure out how to adjust the app so menus aren't blocked.

I just wanna report the update is good. <br/><br/>I originally had problems with importing my files in flip now, intua beat maker wav files work. Bm3 file format does not. Not a problem!! <br/><br/>My current state of problem is the sequenced framed window I can not long press to quantize inside file window. <br/><br/>And where is the save button or save as???<br/><br/> If the above r targeted for my personal use this is an all in mobile d. a. W. Then next integration with other apps where flip play nice outside of ableton live like AUM, eg nodes, etc.

Thank you devs for helping fix my crashing Flip app. It was indeed an issue with a corrupt project. This app is the best!

I love making beats on this software and messing with it on my computer, this is a seamless process of recording samples, to recording session, to saving to my iCloud, to editing software it’s amazingly simple. I would give it 5 stars but have a simple grape with the app now won’t let me upload things to it to use not sure why but gives me an error, but other then that I love this app I like restarting sample pads so it wasn’t to much of an inconvenience. I do have a update idea, have the option to maybe edit names of the pads page and also maybe have the option to change the colors of them. That would be amazing to helping me decipher my pads lol. But thanks for making a great app!

I want to love this app. Typically it’s a great tool for improvising &amp; sketching out melodies &amp; percussion ideas. But there’s unfortunately too much inconsistency &amp; bugs with sample recording. <br/><br/>Half the time it works great - I hit the record button &amp; hum a note or make some sort of drum sound with my mouth &amp; flip automatically find the starting point. But more often it seems to just be latching onto a bit of noise (according to the waveform) or sometimes the waveform looks correct, but it just won’t play back my recording at all. Not sure if this is just a problem for me or if it’s a common occurrence. Other than that bug it’s usually a great &amp; fun app.

I am pretty impressed with this app so far. The ability to effect each sample runs deep. I hate to even call it a sampler because it is so much more. The UI is good on a phone (have not thrown it on my iPads yet). It is easy to use as it has a pretty standard setup but still has its own identity. I have only used it for about ten minutes to give it a quick go round and so far I am pretty impressed with the depth. I have an insane amount of audio apps and have been beta testing apps for about ten years now- this one is a total keeper and worth the price. Take my word for it. If you have any issues the developer is very responsive. I am wondering why in the newest update the ‘sample store’ is being phased out. I don’t mind as I like to use my own but it scares me that this app might be abandoned or go to a subscription model. I DON’T know this-I am speculating. I just hope this this app stays around for awhile because it has some great features and I am glad it is in the top of the audio apps chart because it deserves it. Great price point too.

Automation settings don’t persist when snapping (0) is selected. Every time I close I have to reset this for each automation track. It could be a really easy fix I am sure. I love this sampler otherwise but some of the bugs make it borderline unusable.

Flip can definitely be used to make some great beats. It’s logically laid out, intuitive to learn, generally fun to use, and can do a lot, despite being limited to 9 sample pads (unlike the multiple banks of 16 pads each on an app like the IMPC). The help function is very useful and well-implemented. I love this thing overall, and it’s easier to use than the IMPC, but it does have some areas where operation can be frustrating and could be improved.<br/><br/>I don’t know how feasible it’d be to have separate mixer settings, FX settings and samples for each pattern within a program, but it’d be highly useful and much appreciated. I can live without that, though. Limitations can breed creativity.<br/><br/>More importantly, I’ve found the multitrack tape recorder and stem export functions to be buggy—which is frustrating, because they’re also incredibly useful for getting the sequences into a DAW as a multitrack session…when they work right. My stem tracks have randomly come out incomplete and different lengths (or with no sound) for no apparent reason; then when I try again with the same settings, everything renders perfectly and with matching lengths. Nasty clipping distortion also happens much more easily on rendered tracks than is audible when listening in the mixer; I’ve often had to re-render stems several times in a row, with elements of the mix turned down more and more, before I could get a clean result. The app also seems to have crashed on me a couple times, but it’s constantly autosaving, which is a fantastic feature that helps make crashes much less frustrating.<br/><br/>Despite the sometimes annoying drawbacks, this app is fantastic value and I’d recommend it. Just be aware that it’s seemingly not perfect. Hopefully the stuff I describe will be fixed (or it’s all just the result of me doing something wrong). The app’s definitely still fun and useful overall.
