Potential..... This is a great start. Basic manual would be helpful.

Essential iOS app for musicians. Finally an easy way to preview audio with one click. I use it to add samples to Logic Pro (iPad) and it’s so seamless it seems like a native feature. Seriously, this is a life saver and time saver.

Finally. If you work with any audio in iOS you know what a pain it is to preview files, move them, or organize them. Sample Create makes Doing theses things all most like you should expect iOS to. There are a few limitations here and there mostly to do with limitations in the iOS files app. One touch preview of any audio file, finally. It’s great how you can build out a crate of samples and export them all out in 1 chained sample. Great for slicing in a sampler. You can tag your samples to help keep things organized. This is a much needed utility and works extremely well.

You need this. If you do any audio work on the iOS platform, this is an app you need. I put it right up there with AudioShare and Audiobus (along with a plethora of of apps I always suggest to people who are branching out to make music on their iOS devices) but this is a needed app. It is just as important to me as Apple implementing the file system. The ability to access my files in a cohesive way and also organize them is fantastic. It seems like such a basic concept, but Apple is always late to the game when it comes to audio on iOS. It always takes a brilliant and small developer to come up with simple solutions that we all take for granted. As someone who has been making music on their iOS devices since 2011 I can tell you how nice it is to not have to jump through hoops like we had to just evil six or seven years ago. I also beta test many apps and have been beta testing for over 10 years so I see a lot of crappy audio apps that just want money and it is so nice and refreshing with a small developer comes around and makes a game changing app that is not price gouging us. This app is so affordable. I feel like I’m cheating the developer. It’s always updated and does far more than we all think it does. Midi preview, video to audio, and other little gems are a great thing to have especially when you have hundreds or even thousands of samples to deal with. I don’t know how anyone could give this app under five stars just because they can’t change the icon color. It is a real shame that we ask so much of certain apps without understanding just how hard and time-consuming they are to make. Thank goodness this developer has made such a crucial and needed app that in my humble opinion, will go on as one of the apps that has helped iOS audio into main stream production. I am in no way affiliated with this app. I’m just a huge fan and a a satisfied customer. To the developer. Thank you for making this app. You have saved me hours of endless headaches.

Nice and Focused. Really am enjoying the focus and features of this Sample Management tool. The Sample Chain export feature alone is fantastic. This is a no brainer purchase. Get it today 👊🏼™️💕 if you have tons of sounds you use in your music making.

Easier sample management. If you have your own sample packs, this will make it so much easier. “Files” works but if you want to preview a file it goes to a new window and then have to go back to the previous page to drag it. If you don’t remember what it was it’s a pain in the butt. This does it without that issue. Worth it

Fire! One request?. Total game changer - so necessary. Any chance you’ll make this available on Mac? Really need something along these lines for the MacBook desperately. Would happily pay again. Twice. 🙏

Surprising Results!. This app is great. It’s extremely useful if you use samples for making music and like to keep your stuff organized. Especially if you download files from the internet! Since installing Sample Crate, I’ve discovered just how messy my downloaded files really are. It seems the various apps I download things with all put them in different and unexpected places of the “On this iPad” folder and my iCloud. Sample Crate has been an interesting view into the weird file management in iOS.

Great addition to the toolkit. I wasn’t sure whether I needed samplecrate given a few overlapping features with AudioShare. Samplecrate does a number of things currently not possible in AudioShare—it can do bulk file renaming, and it can do bulk drag and drop export to apps like Koala. These are huge workflow improvements. The dev is very active on the Audiobus forum so the app is well supported. Crazy value for $2.99 USD

Cool app, but….. Cool app, but is there a way for it to not change all my audio icons in other apps to orange and black?????? I actually deleted it because I really don’t want all my audio icons changed to orange and black, thanks.

very glad I downloaded however a few more things would,. benefit so immensely it might even begin to rival AudioShare: 1. Its a pain to toggle a sample to loop the way it is now, if there was a way to loop it in a single click or swipe, like, you hold the pad and drag it up then let go, the pad falls back into place but it is now looping. tap, hold, drag up and let go again and it stops looping. something like that or even just a button under each pad 2. If there was an option to export samples separately, unchained. And if not, add a good 5+ seconds between each sample so when we go to chop it back up its easier. often i will have samples of similar volume and audio wave shape and it looks like one sample. so i chop it out, and then after Ive chopped them all im like, wait... wheres THAT sample? and i go back and yepp, it was RIGHT after the sample that was similar in wave length and shape, i could not tell where the samples started and ended without zooming WAY in and then its just an annoyance. 3. I read in the desc. something about dragging samples into koala? Im glad that you must have made it easier. im about to try it, but if you could somehow get each sample to apply to the next empty pad in the iOS app youre dragging and dropping into, that would be a game changer. seriously. or even just one at a time. again, im about to go check it out but i really hope its not like, you can now drag the entire sample chain into one koala pad then you gotta split it all up.. either way, AWESOME app. helps so much when low on inspiration or creative block... dont stop improving it!!! thank you for this app and for reading my feedback :)

App Support?. The is no contact info on the dev site, so I had to post my concerns here. I like the app and enjoy the advantages it provides, however, I do have two issues. I am struggling with the batch renaming function, which is one of the main reasons I purchased it. After selecting files, I hit “rename” and receive an error message which basically says that the app needs write permission access to the parent folder I hit “grant access” and I’m taken back to the inside of the folder where the list of samples reappears, but they are now deselected. I hit “open,” type the desired file name and long press “rename.” Nothing happens. I went to settings to confirm that all the permissions available for the app were granted. Same result. It just does not work for me. Any thoughts? Also, the app replaces the icons for all of my my files that it interacts with. Yes, there is an option to disable this behavior, but it doesn’t return the file icons to their normal state. I deleted the app which did work, but when I reinstall it, all the files that I had previously auditioned return back to the black/orange sample crate icons. I even tried restarting the device. The replacement of icons should be disabled by default and offered as an option, in my opinion . How can I fix my icons? As I mentioned, I enjoy the app, but would like to see some revisions or at least a workaround for the above issues, especially the batch renaming. Thanks

Perfect except one flaw. This app fills an absolutely invaluable niche by allowing me to test out samples and organize them for my SP-404 for example. So far my only gripe is then when testing out the samples in the “sample crate” there is too much latency when tapping the pads to be able be very musical with it. Granted, I wouldn’t use it to perform music and only to test the sounds out so it’s not the end of the world but it is something that could improve the app.

Very Promising. Update: Thank you for adding the sample time bar! Awesome and much easier to find the perfect sample. Problem, when I add samples to the ‘crate’ and try and export a sample chain or individual samples, the resulting file has no audio and a file size of 4kb. This is exporting to Cubasis3 and BeatMaker 3. —— Love the idea and the usefulness. One thing that is really needed is scrubbing/waveform view so you can scan through a sample easy. Right now it always starts from the beginning. If you have acapellas, it’s good to scan through to the hook to see how it sounds. A great app and looking forward to seeing it develop further!

Time saving!. Thanks for the app. It is filled with shortcuts to build kits and organize. That said…when exporting a crate into a “sample chain”…the audio is slightly raised in pitch within that “sample chain” that was created. I assume a quick fix on your end will sort it out. Thanks again. Edit: The sample chain pitch issue has been fixed!! Thank you Alex!

MIDI file preview! Hooray!. Thank you so much for adding this function. As iOS midi generators continue to improve, it’s so good to be able to preview ever growing MIDI file collections without having to generate matching audio files to reference. Hoping you can add MIDI crates to the app as well.

Amazing features….when they work. Amazing app but unfortunatly theres a bug and when loading my samples it crashes and my saved sample sets no longer have any samples within them. Ay be the way it’s designed but is actually more of a bug. Love you guys

IOS Musician Must Have. How can anyone give this almost free incredibly handy and indispensable utility anything but 5 stars? Oh yeah it's the selfishness pandemic in action. Everyone only cares about what they want so they make the developer suffer until he adds a feature they want. Sending an email is too much trouble. It makes me laugh when I see a 3 star rating after reading the review saying how great the app is and will give 5 stars if the app has the features he wants. If the app is great you give 5 stars and send the dev an email suggesting things. You don't screw sales for your features. You don't take off a star for every feature you desire. Think about others besides yourself. It's not only about you.

Fills a growing need. I have 55GB of samples scattered all over my fileshares and this streamlines my workflow already so I can audition and load quickly and get on with the business of music making. Thanks to the dev. for making this and saving my time.
