Flip is a sample-based mobile music studio that was designed for a fast and intuitive work flow. Import your own sounds via AirDrop or the Files app, or record sounds directly with your device's microphone or a connected iOS interface. As soon as you record a sound it’s available to be played on drum pads as well as being mapped across a keyboard. Sounds can be subtly shaped or entirely transformed using the built-in effects and easy-to-use editing tools.

You can record a quantized or unquantized performance on the pads or keyboard. There is also a full piano roll where you can enter and edit notes and velocities.

Record knob movements or draw automation by hand to bring even more life to your sounds. Every automation lane can also have its own independent length, for polymetric and generative music possibilities.

Create up to 16 different sections for your song and drag and drop them into any order to create your arrangement.

Mixing and mastering tools allow you to finish a full track without ever leaving your phone. You can export your full track, or hit the tape icon and record the live output of the app while you tweak anything on the fly. Both options allow you to capture individual track stems as well!

A performance page lets you trigger your patterns live while controlling a global filter, assignable pitch bends and reverb sends, and a random fill generator.

Artist packs are available in-app at $3.99 or less, which include original sounds and projects from Andrew Huang, Cuckoo, Chuck Sutton, Kilamanzego, Pusher, and more on the way all the time.

Features:

- 9 track sampler
- 4 effects per track: Delay, Filter, Chorus, Bitcrush

Flip Sampler App Comments & Reviews

Flip Sampler Positive Reviews

Good, could be greatComing from someone who hates DAW’s usually, it’s nice to see one that’s so intuitive. I think Flip works best for capturing live sound an creating patterns and sequences from that. It’s much more difficult to take a sample of a song and loop it into the meter, though it’s not impossible. It also needs resampling. Seriously, just adding that would multiply the versatility of this app tenfold. Also finer control over the speed of the sample would be great, or some kind of way to loop a sample onto the timeline rather then just timing the triggers just right. Also a distortion or clipping effect for each track, like the chorus + delay and such. You can get a version of this with the ring modulater, but perhaps you could switch it out or something? Other than that, this app has a wealth of creativity for the user. I’m excited to see what people make with it..Version: 1.0.7

Longtime electronic producer enjoying iOSThis 9 track sampler is actually a brilliant and exceedingly high functioning complete groove workstation. The layout was intuitive I managed to find all features without using it’s also brilliantly convenient help button that’s always there to explain any feature by tapping it then the button or knob in question. The internal sample store also looks like it’s going to be very hip and vibey someday, as if this review it seamed like it had about 5 interesting looking packs for sale, I did not try any out though my phone is clogged with samples by now so I imported my own into the app smoothly without incident. As far as there being a way to bulk import I’m not sure as I’m to lazy to have read anything the developers written yet, including this AppStore page, but I had to leave a review because to me this marks the moment good design and music production really start to get along with each other on iOS. Wishlist _ 1. Just one synthesizer would be super Fire! 2. Saturator effect, thigh I do love the decimation that allready present 3. I really dig the user interface and think it’s brilliant but for my taste despite how clean, right and tight it is it still has a little bit of a childish vibe and would love to see a more stark yet colorful approach maybe similar to auxey pro or something. Thanks to developer, super great work here, I’m stoked.Version: 1.0.1

Far more than a samplerI 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..Version: 1.2.7

Good. Great idea, but way too overloaded.It will be easier to operate on an tablet than on the phone. I have lost two projects on this app. The drag and drop has to be very precise. Quantize has to be done in small quantities I made the mistake to quantize the whole beat, it went chaotic; it is okay when apply on small amount of notes only. After a chaotic quantize which I tried undo, it only undo one note at a time; in the middle of rescuing my project, all notes were erased and no redo/undo function can help. There are bugs in this app, if any operation doesn’t make sense, restart the app. Even closing the app is tricky. There are lots of features for fine tuning, but if the creation part cannot lay down a beat, I cannot use those features. The basic functions for composing are not carefully secured, while they tried to offer a lot of advance features. My advise is for users to create multiple disposable short/quick projects, get use to this app first, before RELYING on it to create..Version: 1.2.6

Beautiful creative music App!, but.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!.Version: 1.4.2

Game changer (srsly)I wanted to wait until I had a chance to really play with all the features, directly compare it to other apps, and really put it through the ringer. And it’s impressive! It is exactly the bridge between working with loops and really opening up technical music making possibilities. The pads are super responsive. The quantize is perfect. The sampling capabilities are seemingly endless. I’ve already made some really fun beats with just my breath and some whistling. Pros: -sampling is so robust you can make almost any sound from the right input sound -exporting to the stems is a leap above what anyone else is offering -one time purchase! Apps that are way less comprehensive require monthly (sometimes weekly) subscription fees Cons: -I personally haven’t figured out how to simultaneously export the whole song and the stems at the same time. Small thing that’s mostly preferential. -Sometime when I’m editing midi, it crashes. But that could honestly be my phone. Who knows? Overall, this is a huge win. Even with the smallest of flaws I give this five stars. Do not hesitate to buy this. Update: Didn’t check all the files after export. Master was totally there. Flawless app..Version: 1.0.3

Fast, fun, easy to learn but lacks IAA integrationReally fun app, easy to use, and really appreciate the how-to videos from Andrew and the help overlay - other devs should take notes! Was glad to find an easy way to import my self-recorded samples out of the box. The one major drawback is that it doesn't work as InterApp Audio (or AUV3). Ableton Link is great for BPM, but that's about it - start stop was fidgity for me, and Volume on disconnected apps is tedious. With InterApp Audio it would integrate into my established workflow, easier levels management, post FX could be applied, even per-track FX if the tracks were blown out like in Pttrning2. If this can happen, it's a 5 star app for me. Without it, I fear it's going to sit idle in the dusty folder of standalone music apps..Version: 1.0.7

Great!The interface for this app is one of the best I’ve seen, and it makes sample chopping and editing super intuitive and fun. All in all this is a great app. I’m certain that IAA will be on its way, and that will be enough to integrate this with the rest of my workflows, particularly if I can live sample from other apps. Once we’re there this will be a 5 star app. I’m certainly glad to be able to import from the files app right now. I would love to have the option to label my faders on the mixer, or have the sample names appear somewhere on the faders. This app can really be played like an instrument and that feature would really round that out. This could almost be its own synth if you could do things like apply envelopes to the filters, or even apply just the amp envelope to the filter. You can kind of get there with automation but it didn’t feel quite the same for me. Of course if I can sample from my other apps I can get that functionality with other synths and just sample it here. I’m very happy with the focus this app provides- really excellent work. I look forward to seeing more..Version: 1.0.2

Filing bugPersonally I love this app. It helps me express the trashy sounds before am actual production session. I've also take some really cool samples at work through the record sample button. Unfortunately after a few weeks of enjoying the Operation pocket DAW, the app just bugged out and deleted files and sounds I had uploaded into the library. I think I might have messed something up during a file sort but after looking into it & moving the files back, it still doesnt bring back my sounds and even the stock beats and stock sound kits. Overall this app has so much potential but it's too bugy. It would compare to an alpha mode DAW. A better comparison is to EA and Dice launches of every Battlefield title. I'm hoping that eventuall the app will be good..Version: 1.2.2

Not bad at all!I have to say that this app out the gate does pretty fine job of creating beats. I am/was a huge DM1 fan by Fingerlabs, but as long as that app has been out the devs failed to listen to request to make a DM3 with advanced features commonly use with other beat apps. Well I’m happy to say that the devs for Flip have answered the call with some of the features that I’ve requested from Fingerlabs are on this app. Would like to see AUV3 implemented into the app, as well possible IAA if possible. As of this review I see they also added a feature to reuse recordings in the app from the tape folder. Nice! I’ll update my review from 4 ⭐️’s to 5 when more features are added by way of updates..Version: 1.0.4

Rereviewing to point out some bugsEvery time I open the app it gives me a pop up window with links to the tutorial video and the store, neither of which I need. Can it, stop doing that? Also, I tried to delete the default tracks because they were unwanted clutter but they come back every time I reopen the app, so maybe fix that too. Lastly, not a bug but on my iPhone 8 (small by today's standards, I know) it's really hard to adjust the vertical axis in the piano edit page. And it doesn't zoom far enough in to be accurate because these notes are so skinny and their hitboxes are unforgiving. I never have a problem with this on GarageBand so I know it's not me. Other than those three things, great experiences so far with this app!.Version: 1.0.2

USB Controller Integration?I absolutely adore the creativity and speed of this app. Making good sounding samples from anything around me is absolutely incredible, and I love using this app for quick ideas. However, I think the biggest drawback for me is not being able to connect a USB controller, keyboard, or audio interace. If I can, pleeease let me know. It’s a little too slow for me to make music in the edit window vs playing everything in with a portable controller or my digital piano. I’d also love the freedom of recording samples in real time from instruments through my 2i2..Version: 1.0.5

So good.This app is really great. UI is a little dated for 2021, but the functionality and flow is here. I also use Koala which is amazing and you should buy both, but this app allows for way easier sculpting of sound and much more in depth sequencing for building full tracks. One feature request, allow it to preview a sound before importing. If you download a ton of samples from Splice for example, they all have really long, really similar file names, so being able to preview the sound before assigning it to a pad (like you can on the 1010 blackbox) would be amazing..Version: 1.0.7

Could be great if it weren’t so buggyI want to love this app. Typically it’s a great tool for improvising & sketching out melodies & percussion ideas. But there’s unfortunately too much inconsistency & bugs with sample recording. Half the time it works great - I hit the record button & hum a note or make some sort of drum sound with my mouth & 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 & fun app..Version: 1.4.2

Fun but a bit buggyFor reference, i’m on the 4th gen ipad air - before i get into the issues, i want to say the app is a super fun sketch pad, and i love the transient detection in the sampler. perfect for jamming and coming up with ideas i could use for sample packs or tunes. haven’t tried any built in sounds but they’re probably cool. i’m sure these problems i’m gonna mention are all fixable, and i am looking forward to using this app into the future. manually adjusting the start/end points is a bit finicky and it has trouble telling when i want to move one or both, or when i want to zoom or scroll the start and end region boundaries as one. the pitch detection is pretty much always wrong, but glad to see the attempt! it doesn’t really hinder anyone playing by ear, i suppose. the ADSR envelope doesn’t seem to work perfectly, i always get little clicks at the end of a sample or sample end brace that doesn’t naturally fade to silence, even if i have the sustain at -Inf dB and no release. the reverb seems to have input latency that is most apparent with short transient hits and high send values..Version: 1.0.6

Unbelievably Great ValueSimply put, this is the best value that I’ve ever seen for any sort of music making software or hardware. You can make full songs using flip alone, and with great tutorials already, you can really get deep into this. For only $10, I truly feel like it’s a no brained for any sort of music producer to own to bring out sample-based music ideas quickly, cleanly, and efficiently. Plus, you can export the master track and stems of any project to be used in your DAW of choice afterwards if you want, which is an invaluable perk. Thank you guys so much for your work on this, I can’t wait to dive in more!!.Version: 1.0.2

Great App, one issueFirst off, this is a great sampler! I’ve had it for the past couple of weeks and have mad some small song on the go that I really injoyed. I know this app is still in its infancy and will still need some updates. I do have weird glitch that is happening that I can throw at the development team here. When I go from any project to another project the tuning on my instruments is all off sometimes even the effects that I put on don’t produce the same results when I created the song. Thanks for the app will continue to use it!.Version: 1.0.3

Thanks AndrewThis is the app I have been looking for. I have no complaints except for the occasional bug or glitch. One thing I would like to see added is a sample looper feature like in garage band for iOS. I also think that the velocity/midi editor could be slightly reorganized. I don’t really edit velocity much and it takes up a big portion of the screen, maybe a tab to hide it🤷🏻‍♂️. Great app though, pretty much everything works exactly how I want it. I haven’t really gotten into the automation page much yet but it is brilliantly designed. Great job! 👏🏻.Version: 1.0.4

Just the essentialsHandy, (get it) having all the workflow UI along the edges. There are all the essentials for composing tracks and formulating ideas before taking them to the next level. My only feedback is that the keyboard and piano roll could use a fat thumb option. My big fingers are having trouble landing the targeted notes. I end up stacking a bunch of notes next to each other. Then as I try to toggle them, I’d end up adding more. And you can forget about playing Chopsticks with anything other than chopsticks..Version: 1.0.6

Amazing appThis app is super cool and has everything you need. And surprisingly this is just released. I hear you guys will continue updating that app. This app is already great. One issue I had is when trying to learn the buttons is sometimes after I clicked the help button and click something I don’t know, the words are sometimes blotched up. I still very much enjoy this app and will continue using it a lot. Also please add more arrangement patterns as 16 is not enough for me. Thank You!!.Version: 1.0.2

Link is not working iPad OS 14+Really enjoying Flip, and am glad for its ease of use and multiple updates so soon after release! Link, though is not working as it should on our end... it did, then lost its sync over 32 bars and then suddenly will not connect to any link source. Reinstalled app, updated iOS... on a very robust network with Abelton 10 and AUM is working with link solid for days... please look into this issue and I look forward to a fix! Peace and thank you for the fun this app will bring to the world :).Version: 1.0.2

Great but glitchySuper fun to play with and slowly learning the interface Is there a known bug where the app will just stop playing the audio for the track or samples you are working on? It says its playing, but its not. Occasionally plays one or two of the samples. Does this one on phone and iPad.I even click out of the song im working on and sometimes other sounds will work, but sometimes not. Really frustrating when you're getting into a groove and the app Stops playing back your creations..Version: 1.0.7

Awesome App!Really enjoy the interface and all of the options compacted into this! Addicting to say the least! One thing I’m having trouble with on the Sample Page is the “Pitch” knob adjustment. It keeps resetting back to default (0) after I alter it for a specific pad. The “Gain” knob right next to it stays wherever I set it, so I’m not sure if it’s a bug or if I’m just not doing something properly. Download this if you are even slightly interested in getting into this kind of music production! It’s worth it!.Version: 1.0.2

Small bugs ( I think)Whenever I press record and I immediately stop the recording without playing anything, when I try to play back the sounds previously recorded, I can’t hear it at all unless I exit the app. Also whenever I go to the song order tab and mess around on it for too long the app kicks me out. Please let me know if it’s just my phone being dumb:).Version: 1.2.2

Really good but FIX UNDO BUTTON (please <3)Ok so this app is really good but here’s my feedback. When you press undo, UNDO THE ENTIRE ACTION! If I highlight a section of the piano roll and change the song to a different key for example and press undo, it only undos one note at a time. Even more often, when I record a section, I want the entire section to undo to try again. But no, the app only undos one note at a time. Developers, PLEASE fix this!!!.Version: 1.0.3

Only spent four minutes in this app......and already I predict it will be purchased down the line by ABLETON. Huang, you’ve done it again! What an amazing phone sequencer for on the go jams and a crazy great inspiration tool! Totally gives GarageBand a run for the doe, and is right up there with Maschines app! Love the simplicity and ease of access approach to creating samples! Keep up the great work mannnnne! Also VERY affordable in app pack downloads! Very humble and jaw dropping app! 🙏🏽🙏🏽.Version: 1.0.7

👍👍Haven’t played with the app long enough to give an in depth review, but I was recording and editing samples in seconds. I m a hobbyist level sample based producer. My plans for this app are using it to record samples when I stumble into an interesting sound in day to day life and to use it to practice the craft and make music on lunch breaks, commutes, etc... it makes music and it s on my phone so, it makes music and I always have it with me..Version: 1.0.6

Such a fun appI’ve always struggled to really consistently use music making software, i have the fl demo but it can be such a pain to learn the ui that it feels like it doesn’t want to be accessible to beginners. That’s why i love flip, i was able to open it and start making music almost immediately. The ui is super straight forward and enjoyable to use. Thank you Andrew and the Flip Team for creating such a wonderful app!.Version: 1.0.3

PerfectEverything about this app is just so much fun. I constantly just want to open it. I love the layout/GUI. It has such a cohesive workflow/pipeline which makes the creative pathway from start to finish very enjoyable. My only feedback at this point is if there could be a way that arming the record button just starts recording whenever you start playing and then loops upon pressing the record button again. And lastly, if in keyboard view, you could opt for the drum pads along the top instead of 2 keyboards. Everything is just so responsive that I just turn quantize off and the performance is accurately captured every time! Thank you for this beautiful instrument!.Version: 1.2.6

Super great already!This is a great workstation app. The only thing I would like messed with is splice integration. It is possible to download samples from splice to device, and load them currently, but it is one file at a time, and I would like to have more of my splice library loaded for randoming through. Also a slice to pads feature would be crazy for longer drum loops, but that is asking a lot. I love it! 5 stars..Version: 1.0.6

BEST APP EVER HANDS DOWNIf you’re a musician, and you don’t get this app, you’re missing out in one of the most brilliant new tools on the market. You won’t regret the money you spend. I can sit and spend hours at a time on this thing. Every time I open a new project I have a great time with it. %100 will release an album of stuff made mostly with this tool..Version: 1.2.6

No way to export as wav?Great sampler. Only thing that would make it better is if you could export your work as a wav file rather than just a zip. But since they fixed the issue with InterApp Audio, I can use it with GarageBand again, so I can go back to saying it’s my favorite sampler even without an export to wav feature..Version: 1.2.2

So fun** there seems to be a bug with dragging clips to the trash icon on bottom right** This is the gateway drug for apple products. this app along made me decide to borrow a friend’s old ipad sitting in the dust and now look at me I bought myself an ipad pro. Anyway jokes aside, right now it crashes when I use magic keyboard accidentally (not supported) during renaming a project..Version: 1.2.5

Just one thing…All I need is looping samples, so I can make my looping waveform oscillators. I got this app right when it came out, and I check on it every month or so. “Looping samples a thing yet? No? Ok…” I figured it had to be on the to-do list, but then again, maybe not. I can’t be the only one who wants this. We already have every other component we need for basic subtractive synthesis. This one feature would change everything….Version: 1.1.4

I love this app! A SuggestionThe little mobile DAW is so great. I love Andrew Huang and his videos/music. My honor to purchase it. I would love to see you guys add a midi chord pack for purchase. I’m not incredibly musically inclined but love to put beats on music but finding good samples takes time and as a busy dad I don’t have much of that. I would totally be willing to buy a midi chord pack if it had a lot to work with!.Version: 1.0.6

Best mobile samplerThis is the best mobile sampler I’ve ever used. It records live mixing and automation, and exports multitrack plus a master of session. It took an hour to get used to the flow, but it’s soo much fun. I’ve made a track with it and I really liked the way it came out, much more dynamic than what I usually make thanks to the automation features. Highly recommend this!.Version: 1.0.6

Intuitive music making for neophytes and grandmasters alike!What the Flip confirms is the power of excellent programming combined with smart design and an intuitive UI. The meeting of a genius workflow, nice aesthetics, and impressive production value contained entirely within a small ecosystem is a quite a feat. Flip is in that Goldilocks zone of being advanced enough to satisfy a veteran producer while still remaining intuitive enough for someone who’s just getting started. As a someone who’s taught music production to kids i think this is a perfect tool to learn on. It takes all the simplicity of something like Koala and packs it with additional features. But most of all. It’s fun! Really fun!.Version: 1.0.2

Never be without music creation anymoreThis is the ideal tool to keep learning and creating anywhere. Making music with whatever comes to hand is so easy with this app. It took about 3 minutes to learn the basics and I’m off! And now with MIDI functionality! Even better..Version: 1.2.0

It has potentialI apologize for past negative reviews, but I’ve had to uninstall/reinstall this multiple times. There are too many inconsistencies around how this works: sometimes it loads the metronome even when I don’t choose it. Other times it allows me to import sounds but it won’t allow me to delete those. Other times, it won’t record a sample into an empty pad.... Overall, it can be versatile for sequencing sample sounds..Version: 1.0.6

Thank YouThis is an unbelievably simple and full featured music making app. It is the most intuitive workflow I have come across in 10+ years of recording (I've used Ableton, Logic, Pro Tools, Reason, Reaper and Bitwig). I wish they would do a Mac/PC port in the future but I know there are other things that need to be developed first. Keep it up Dev team!!.Version: 1.0.6

Crash-y on iPhoneI'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..Version: 1.2.7

Great sampler, limited thoughI love using this app, helps me effortlessly get the classic sampling goodness anytime anywhere. It would benefit from a couple more effects, maybe a distortion or flanger/phaser. Also, this sampler NEEDS a loop function. More often than not, my samples are cut short when I try to do chords or melodies with lots of pitch shifting..Version: 1.2.5

WowI cannot believe how clever and wildly useful this ridiculously cheap app is. Don’t get it if you can’t afford to lose hours creating legit recordable samples and patterns. Not for people who think making music should feel like hard work, because this is pure fun..Version: 1.2.5

Incredible, but a little unstableOverall, Flip is quite a robust mobile DAW. it lends very well to my sample based music production style, and the workflow gets my ideas flowing and developed quickly. As of right now, however, there is a bug on iPhone 13 that doesn’t save each project’s BPM like before..Version: 1.2.7

Pretty sweet!This is really an amazing little app! The workflow and GUI are fantastic. In the future if you would consider adding at least 16 pads, longer pattern lengths, and perhaps and search function for the sample browser this could really be a little beast. (AU instruments and fx would be excellent but I also respect the simple ethos of the app. Many thanks!.Version: 1.0

WowThe workflow is insane! It has so much attention to detail like two simultaneous keyboards with independently controlled octaves, different automation lengths, and the clever way pads do pitch and velocity (off by default!) So next version let’s get 16 pads instead of 9 ;) Still I’d pay $50 for this (hope this comment ages well...) and I got it for $7.99..Version: 1.0.2

Easy to useThere has never been an app so accessible to just jump in and mess around. The best part about the app is that it doesn’t have too many features. The essentials without looking too cluttered. Top notch work on this one. Looking forward to the updates..Version: 1.0.2

Tanks..The sound is incredeble but Application crashes.Version: 1.4

Pretty great but needs some tweaks.This app is a very capable portable DAW. It’s much more usable on an iPad primarily because of one killer flaw in the UI; the Sequencer screen is pretty much unusable on an iPhone. It’s doable but so frustrating that I tend to just give up. That whole screen needs a complete re-work to function acceptably on a small touch screen. On the iPad I’ve enjoyed it much more but on both devices I do continue to run into crashing issues when attempting to manipulate tracks on the Performance screen. With a little more work this could be 5 stars all day..Version: 1.1.4

A Great app, but…This is a great, portable sampler as intended by Andrew. However, the MIDI learn and clock sync functions don’t work to well with my Elektron Model:Cycles. It’s unfortunate, it would have been a nice way to expand the sound palette of my Model:Cycles (via the USB MIDI and the audio over USB capability of the Cycles). I am also experiencing some audio drop out. If it was not for these issues, this would be a killer app. Other things that could be improved is the possibility of moving/swapping the samples location on the 3x3 grid. More control over the randomization of the samples (like randomizing kicks samples only, as for instance implemented in the high end Polyend Play) would also be an awesome addition to Flip. Last but not least, velocity modulation of other parameters than just the volume would also be a welcome addition to make beat making and from finger drumming more expressive (like the decay of the hihat or the tuning of toms and other percussions… as for instance possible in the Model:Cycles). That’s it for my holiday wish list ! Keep up the great work Andrew and the Flip team and thank you for this wonderful portable sampler, despite some of the issues mentioned in this review that I have personally experienced thus far. Many thanks, John.Version: 1.2.6

Get this!Get it get it get it get it !!!!! GEETT ITTT !!!!!.Version: 1.2.5

I want to love it, but idk..The app looks very appealing, and you can make some amazing stuff on it, but the UX was off for me. I was often frustrated by the way the app works, lots of misclicks, functions not working, or even the undo crashing the app frequently. I think overall the app is great, but it definitely needs more attention on the touch functions, and make it more intuitive. I think the app could be really good with less bugs, and right now it feels like the app was made for mouse and keyboard. I hope to see the app improve to give it a try later in the future!.Version: 1.2.0

Love it, but…I really like the work flow and sounds that can come out of this tiny little app, but I’ve run into a couple of frustrating glitches and crashes. On my iPhone 8, I haven’t come across many problems, but on my brand new iPad, the metronome glitches when you’re recording, and sometimes the loops will go out of sync. Weird distortion occasionally. Will crash if a couple apps are open and you’re overloading the app. Overall super fun and works great with splice and exporting stems/files to GarageBand for further arrangement. Would love some different effects for the sounds..Version: 1.1.3

Needs some work but I’m willing to stick aroundCool app but I found a bug in the first five seconds. When you click randomize and play a sound to hear it too many times the app crashes. Not sure if it’s a certain sound sample that has the problem or pressing the randomize button too many times. I tested and it’s only on pad 6 that it happens. Edit: oops now I can’t hear anything had to turn off my device, I’m on an iPad Pro Edit again: now I can hear again but half the sounds on pad 6 are inaudible. Plz fix :) Final edit: I can’t repeat the randomizer bug anymore but some of the sounds are still named with random numbered filenames and they don’t make sounds..Version: 1.1.4

Super great.Really great features. Takes a little getting used to how everything works. Only issue found is that the microphone stays active after moving on to other apps..Version: 1.0.7

Worth the priceSo fun!.Version: 1.0.7

AmazingOne thing i would really like would be the option to export individual samples/ airdrop. That would be a game changer. Simple and easy to use, very powerful sampler. Great for creating sounds on the go..Version: 1.0.7

YesI came across Flip through Andrew’s YouTube video. I initially didn’t realize Andrew was involved. My impression was it was a paid endorsement. I would describe the Flip app as taking cues from groove boxes, but it is ingenious because it uses your phone’s technology. I use the app for idea generation. I start a new project, and I intentionally use the randomization of the pad samples. Having a fresh mix of noises to play with really drives creativity. My workflow is as follows - I almost play with Flip like a video game experimenting with different ideas. Once I create something that excites me, I export the stems, which is a fantastic idea and upload the beat to my Google Drive. From that point, I load the stems (Wav format) into my DAW and begin building the character / developing the relationships between sounds more deeply. Flip being on my phone makes beat-making accessible. My dog woke me up this morning earlier than usual. While waiting for the dog to do what dogs do - I laid out the premise of a solid beat. The accessibility of Flip with the randomization of pad samples and the ability to export stems has made Flip very usable - and another source for beat creation. To be clear, I wouldn’t have described Flip as a new idea. Many products on the market exist that would be similar or potentially an improvement due to their maturity, but what makes Flip great is the fact isn’t competing with the more mature instruments out on the market. Flip is a portable application, and that is where this app shines. In this case, Flip is highly accessible, which means you have more opportunities to use Flip than alternatives. The more use, the more reward. Andrew stated in his Youtube video that there isn’t a better value proposition for the app’s cost, and I feel that isn’t an embellishment. The only suggestion I would make is expanding the help for the tape icon to clarify how to use the functionality. One of my fav apps..Version: 1.0.7

Good app but found bugIf you disable microphone in permissions it won’t tell you, and it will simply quietly no longer record audio and it won’t tell you why..Version: 1.0.5

Brilliant tool with many bugsThe app is designed great with a few bugs to iron out. Mainly, it repeatedly crashes on me with file saving and pad mapping + has also damaged my phone speaker. I was listening on low to a kick I made with my voice when all of a sudden loud, heavy static feedback. I’m on a iPhone 6S Plus. Have received no response from developers regarding my concerns. This app really deserves a 5 star if the developers were more responsive and empathetic..Version: 1.0.6

Missing one thingLove the interface and freedom you get here. It just needs integration with apps like GarageBand so I can play with samples from other apps or import samples from Flip into other tools.Version: 1.0.2

Very powerful samplerThis is a super accessible sampler with some good effects and a simple ui.Version: 1.0.3

Shuts downI don’t know why but the app always shuts down. I love the app a lot don’t get me wrong, I love every part of it and it’s quite cheap for the power house it is. But it’s frustrating I want to play with it, dig deeper and all but it keeps shutting down. :(.Version: 1.0.2

Crash’sSuper duper fun. I love the user interface everything is fairly straight forward with a lot of capabilities. But it crashes a lot for me..Version: 1.0.2

Absolutely awesomeThis sampler is fantastic. I really dig the easy parameter automation at different repeat lengths; it makes it very quick and easy to create interesting variations on ideas. I’d !!!LOVE!!! to see midi export in an update at some point. But honestly, asking for more than what this app already is feels like I’m being greedy. It’s so good!.Version: 1.0.2

Amazing flexible sampler among other thingsRequires auv3 for that final star from me - otherwise brilliant app all around..Version: 1.0.1

Great fun app aaaaaaaLove it and love Andrew huang.Version: 1.0.2

This is everything I wanted since I was a child and first got into musicI know some people have had some issues but I’m sure those will be ironed out over time. The ui and experience are great so far. The help button design is really useful (tapping on what you want to know about is really intuitive). I was able to start making stuff within minutes. Im so excited to have something that allows me to do what I’ve always wanted to since I got my first audio recorder as a kid..Version: 1.0.2

Dawesome!Love how intuitive this is, by far the best music production app for getting an idea sketched out on the fly. 🌈Thanks Andrew🦄.Version: 1.0.2

Wholly crapSeriously though, this app does everything or plans to do everything. I can imagine it as a onstage tool for performance as much as a tool for woodshedding ideas. Thank you!.Version: 1.0.2
